Can you use teleport stance to get past the bastion wall?

[OpalGotMyHeart]

I know this seems obvious, but ive never seen vilitch do it as an ai, and i was curious if that was an option.

For some reason, Vilitch almost never uses teleport stance, even though Kairos uses it all the time. Maybe a faction coded behavior?

There seems to be something preventing tunneling/using world roots near the bastion, if the teleportation works the same it is possible, but only from a small stripe further from the wall. Found that out on my Woodelves run where i freed all the east from the pesky humans ruining the woods and nature

You can't use teleport stance near Bastion and on Ulthuan.

Luckily after some patching no. That was a real pain in the ass when playing as Cathay.
He can still go around through ogre land but that still gets him a few turns at least to get there so you have a plenty of time to prepare an army near Shang Yang.

The whole idea with the Bastion is keeping chaos out (its not just a gigantic physical wall, its a ton of wards and whatnot).

Magic (as in teleportation magic in this case) is the purest form of chaos. They even reflect this in game by having winds of magic breaking against the bastion.

So it would be weird if you could just teleport past it (Perhaps if its some sort of huge ritual that only works under very specific conditions that either empower the spell or weaken the bastion, or both).

You used to be able to. I thought that was the reason they put Vilitch there in the first place? So he could harass Cathay without bothering with the Bastion? I guess they changed it after people complained or something, idk

As said above^, you used to be able to easily teleport over the Great Bastion and start harassing cathay off the bat, but CA and small parts of the community found it far too difficult dealing with vilitch and his gang of misfits on turn 10, so now he needs to take the gates/walk all the way around in order to start attacking cathay

There is a "bug" where you can go back near his capital and teleport to a rock across the water but sometimes it lets me do it and other times it doesn't "shrug"

[Hex]

Used to be able to, then CA realized how utterly moronic it was because Vilitch would constantly just negate the entire point of the Bastion by teleporting to the other side. The same reason it's disabled in Ulthuan because it makes the Gates utterly pointless.
