Just had the perfect ambush terrain playing as al Mohads /Normal /Early.

In Leon against the Spanish with their jinetes and javelins. Put a mix of troops in a forest and behind a hill i.e. a hill-covered forest.I only had two cav to spare-some bodyguards and merc mamluk archers at 3 valour. So I added desert archers, counting on their speed, and murabitin inf.

If you hide behind a hill I ve noticed the AI doesn t really notice except by accident-on Normal anyway.The Spanish went straight for my main army out in the open.

It was great to watch my guys come over the hill behind the Spanish. Charging downhill really has a devastating effect! And the height adv with the missiles...
