dont forget traits of your generals that increase chances of a successfull ambush.
i preferr to ambush an army of elite Seleucids with my lower quality Pontic, Armenian forces and if not succeeded in routin the entire enemy army than i'd withraw after significant casualties being inflicted. so the next time i meet the same army (usually attacking it myself next turn) it is half its initial strength and i have better chances of winning an open field battle with my inferiour troops
