    Default No Flaming Boulders in Ambushes?

    Why can't we use them when we ambush the enemy if we have the army tradition that gives them to us?

    Bit odd, another oversight by CA I'm sure, as all of those types of things should be employable during an ambush. Flaming pits/spike traps/caltrops/flaming boulders, they should all be in ambushes if you have them unlocked.

    This is a bit offtopic but I was wondering if it's even worth to ambush your enemies? I'm playing as the arverni at the moment and I've never tried to use ambushes before because I simply don't need to. While I apreciate they added this sort of battle, I doubt most people ever even use the stance..

    If I remember correctly either your army needs certain traditions, or it's part of a tech unlock.

    yes i think in order to get the flaming boulders etc during ambushes your general needs to have I think the 'ambush' or 'defense' skill.

    Also answering previous question, yes ambushes work quite well.
    Basically all your troops are invisible and can be moved at will until one of your units is ordered to attack, then usual LOS rules apply to all your troops.

    hmm I am sure one of the pickable General's skills list "+1 flaming boulders Ambush" in description..
    just checked the encyclopedia but it doesn't even list the defense skill as gaining barricades and spikes and the like, so don't think it will be listed there
    doesn't seem that you can use any equipment during custom ambush battles either.
    I must say that I have only had about 5 ambushes but have not seen the boulders either. I had thought I had just picked the wrong skills but, as I thought I had seen +1 boulders as above when mousing over one of the skills.. hmm

    edit:
    actually custom ambush battle automatically gives 2 sets of 'fireballs' to the attacking side.
