Hiding in tall grass/scrub?

**BobTheTerrible** · 02-05-2005, 20:32

Is this new to the patch? I ask this because I never had seen this before. Last night I had a battle as the Gauls, and my skirmishers were hiding in the tall grass. In a later battle, the AI Roman Velites did the same. Perhaps I had never fought on maps with tall grass before. Does anyone know if this was just added in the patch?

No this is not new. It's been in the game since day one.

Yeah but it hasn't been working until now...

I have never seen velites and other troops that could "hide in long grass" do so before this patch.

Hiding in grass, yahooo. Up the rebels!

I always wondered how long the grass had to be for the soldiers to hide in the grass. No wonder it seemed that i could never find long enough grass to hide my guys in. Cool.

Ok that's what I was thinking. I knew many unit types had this ability, but I wasn't sure whether it was in game or not before the patch, since I hadn't seen it.

I've seen it this morning, Velites would prone/crouch and hide.

However, Velites would be the worst ambush unit though

. There must be some better units out there to do the dirty and demanding deed
