    To ambush move an army to some woodland on the campaign map. The soldier will crouch down and say something like "Ready to ambush". Then you just wait for an enemy army to move nearby him. Good chance that your ambush will be successful and you'll be fighting.

    I have done it once and I thought it was a cool new feature. You get to set up your units all around the enemy as their units are marching in a single column. You can place your units really close to the enemy too, well within archer range. The ambushed army must go in with a penalty to morale too I think because it didn't take much to rout them.

    Once you do this are you obliged to carry out the ambush?

    I can't remember if there was a withdraw option at the pre-fight window. I assume there was because you are the attacker.

    I remeber when i attacked through the forrest (never came out to the open area,) they didn't even see me until I had charged them. THey were literally just standing there oblivious to what was happening.

    I put a army on a forest and it said ready to ambush, after 2 terms it said that my forces are being attacked by the gauls i could not retreat so i choose to fight the battle myself. I only had 2 units 1 skirmish and the general, the skirmishers were hiding in the woods but the genral could not hide so i left him out in the field. the gauls were marching and they did not notic my general even though he was in the open and clear to see. they were marching towards my skirmishers that were hiding i started to move my general only a bit and then they noticed him and attacked.

    if this was an ambush why cant i hide my general and how dumb do the gauls hav to be not to notice an enemy thats standing only a few metres away.
