Ambushing

[OSDSET]

This is just a Question i've been thinking about latly and would like to know the answer.
How will ambushes work do you tell your army to ambush another army or do u place them somwhere you think they will be so u can ambush them?
What will happen when you get ambushed will the game tell you you'r being ambushed and you can instantly go to the battle or will the game not tell you untill the battles over so you get a measage out of the blue saying stuff like "This knights army has been ambushed by the franks and have been killed"?

thx

There is no "ambush" feature in the game. We planned to have one but we could not make it to fit in the game.

For instance
When you ambush, AI should ambush too.

Q: How will you visualize an ambush for the AI?

A: Making them to disappear? -> not good for the player

A: Changing the looking for an army? -> Then it would be no ambush anymore. Ambush = surprise.


Q: How will the gameplay mechanics work for that? The one who ambush need to have an advantage. But how making it in a game?

A: No answer for that which would be satisfying

I guess Frujin can tell you more.

Ambushing wasn't common in the medieval era anyway.
