Blinking buildings

Description
Don't blink! Or you'll miss the Daemons blinking their buildings!
Using collected Souls, the Daemons can relocate their buildings. So a Daemon assault won't just include units - their buildings may materialise around your base as well!
I hope Towers cannot Blink, otherwise it will be broken OP.
They can't, neither can Broods.
You also can't Blink buildings into FoW / Hidden Map, so you'll need line of sight to where you want to place the building.
Well, I figured that, I was just afraid of Towers, specially with Tough Towers on, and filled with strong ranged units.
I do like the Building Blink mechanic, though. It fits that the extra-dimensional Daemons would also summon their own fortresses and holdings into the world they are invading.
This is one of the most nutty concepts in TPC. Is this by default or after a research? Either way it's very freaky (translation: it's daunting, in a very good and refreshing way).
It's available from the start.
What does this do exactly? For me the "grid" looks bad. It should be a shortcut to enable/disable it, so you can build accordingly I guess. Or do I get something wrong here?
The grid is visually optional. This is the "power" of the Daemon race: they colect souls (see top right icons in this picture) and use them as a resource to move your buildings over the map. So far, the minotaurs have the "power" or racial trait named rage (not sure what it does).
The "grid" can be disabled in the options menu.
