Ambush Problem

[Stingraey]

I use to ambush a lot in vanilla M2TW but I cant seem to get them to work in third age.
I hid my units in the trees next to a pinch point (enemies had no option but to go adjacent to my force in order to get by). And then I hit the end turn button and the enemy force just runs by me entirely. Doesn't even get stopped for going into a red circle adjacent to my force.

My units ducked down like they were suppose to and said something about being able to do a cowardly ambush if need be. Even if they didn't duck down I dont see why the enemy could just fly right past my force. Happened on 4 different occasions now.

Several things:

With regards to completely bypassing your army; can you screenshot the area you're talking about? It may be that there's an area that they can pass your army without getting stuck in it's zone of control?

With regards to not entering an ambush, I think it depends on the skill of the general commanding the ambush as to how likely an ambush is (or it might always be the same and the "Good Ambusher" trait only increases command during ambushes...)

Thanks,
