Crazy Workaround for Battlefield Fortifications

If the army that this thing is in gets caught in an ambush what happens then? Kinda kills some of the point of an ambush.

Would it be possible for someone to make a very very simple model (a wall basically), with very very simple skin to test it? To see if it would work and if AI would not kill themselves with it? Rarely when I'm sallying forth do the AI advance upon me. Usually they either sit back and wait or retire to a more easily defended spot of grass further back.

I think they attack when they have a good numerical advantage. Not certain about that, though.

Well I'm gonna give myself a little skinning tutorial and see what I can come up with. It'll take a while. I'm not just talking about city sieges, btw, but using pallisades in any battle. And what I envision is not one siege tower, but 160 (whatever) units each of which represent a section of wall that you position during the deployment phase. Unfortunately only in a straight line.
