Ambushes

[Andrew1994]

The idea is too make hiding not only to the woods but to the mountains too.
Currently the only ambush that is available is at the woods.
This seems to be unfair.

For example if an English army marches towards the scotish highlands the scots have no chance of wining them at a lineup battle.Historically the used to ambush english armies at this rough mountains

I doubt that can be done. I'd be very surprised if that isn't hardcoded.

Hmmm...
Why don't you check it?
I think it worths it

There is nothing that can be moddable in regards to terrain types that indicates ambush-ability. Only forests can make ambushes

Well thats easily taken advantage off... mix some hillside battlemaps into the tree regions and partly remove the campaign map trees. If the ambush can't get to the hill get the hill to the forest... errr...
I'm only half kidding here but that solution doesn't sound very viable or stable to me. Wouldn't be suprised if the placement of the ambushed army would end up all over the battlemap.

it would be interesting if certain area's could also have strategic points where you could ambush.. mountain passes.. small openings.. but off course if you want it so bad.. you could add some forest on the map near the hill to make it optional i guess?

What a same...

If you play like me on Scotland,there are two patches of trees above York you can use to ambush from, and the path from the left has plenty, so you shouldn't have too much trouble ambushing them! You could also always use the trees next to roads connecting their settlements.

to be honest, as scotland i never had to play defensive on the english continent.. dominating england is easy and the only problem lies in a backstab from norway by boat if you expect it the least.. but well.. you can't really await them with an ambush.. but most battles where open ground anyway so to much ambush locations wouldn't be fun i guess
