Expert at hiding in woods

[Oaty]

I'm thinking it has to do with the range at what they get detected. Some units can hide so close to the enemy that they can nail them in less than 2 seconds. Also it seems the unit getting targeted has a huge delay in command ability as the comp always turns unit's around when you are going to hit them in the back but for some reason they never turn if the unit just came out of hiding.

Hmmm, okay, thanks Oaty and Lonewarrior. I'll have to play as Gauls or Germania in my next campaign and test it out a little better. I have noticed that hidden units are discovered when enemies are fairly close but always wondered it they lost the element of surprise or if the morale penalty for the enemy is the same.
Playing the Romans, the whole hiding and ambushing thing seems to have very little utility. In my current campaign, I've had 1 instance where I was able to hide, but I'm almost always attacking so it's not very helpful. I've never been able to draw a defender into extending themselves into an ambush. Thanks again.
