Djinn serves as an exit portal, while Lamp is the entrance. Djinn is quiet expensive, so consider other options for moving your army first. Teleportation is best used late-game, and for transporting substantial armies. Getting Djinn into a correct position can be tricky as well, as it's quiet slow and somewhat squishy under prolonged fire. Main options here include: |
* Moving Djinn under water, as many maps have a coastline along their borders, hidden from radars. | * Moving Djinn under water, as many maps have a coastline along their borders, hidden from radars. | ||

For the duration of establishing teleportation link it must be completely immobile. For that reason, while not using [[Athena]]s, it is recommended to set-up Lamp as soon as Djinn comes from production lines. |

To teleport your units, lead them close to the Lamp and right-click the context command (which looks like [[Load Command]] icon, [[File:Load.png|16px]]). After a few seconds, the unit will be teleported to the Djinns position. The bigger the unit, the longer the process will take. As such, if your enemy is unaware about the use of teleportation, it is better to transport bigger units first. When teleported, units will clutter-up near Djinn. If there is no terrain available for units to be transported to, the teleportation wont occur. As such, after ordering units into lamp, give a Shift-Move command somewhere near Djinn, in order to immediately lead them away from it. Djinn can teleport anything, from small [[Glaive]]s, to striders like [[Paladin]] and even air units! |
