    Icon9 Why can't I lay an ambush?

    On the campaign map, when I try to ambush an enemy by moving my army into a forest area, the general dude just won't kneel and say "Ready to ambush!", btw im not standing next to any enemy armies.

    Also, it seems that if I split my army into smaller ones, I can lay an ambush? so is my army to big or something? or is this a bug?

    It may be the characteristics of some of the units in the army that prevent the ambush from being set up.

    In the file export_descr_unit.txt there needs ot be an entry like this:

    ye I got hide_forest , I can setup an ambush though, when my general sets up one by himself, and the army joins him, any other suggestions?
