Default teleport strike forces


When teleporting/could trapese in a strike force of mages do they all appear and fight at the same time? Or will they appear one at a time? What if you mix diffrent teleport spells like fairy trod and cloud trapese and gate?

I think the answer is they will appear all at once, but I need to double check. Wouldn't want to suicide my mages.

All fight in the same battle. They will not fight in the same battle as units moved the conventional way (move command)

And how about the teleport sequence?
If a group of mages from different provinces are teleporting to engage 1 enemy SC using teleporting too, will they "block" his spell?

I guess they would never catch him, but have not proved it yet.

How I think this works is:
Mage 1 casts teleport from province A to B
Mage 2 casts teleport from B to A (due to randomness, after Mage 1)
<all other spells are resolved>
The game checks if any battles need to happen.

So, no they'll never catch each other because the fighting happens after all spells are resolved.

The only way to "block" a teleporter is to kill him before his teleport goes of (i.e. with an assassination spell, fires from afar, etc.) or to put up a dome in the province into-which he is teleporting.
