Re: Ambush hole
Sounds cool, but nobody seems to notice. Sad really...
But I like the idea! Hiding units beforehand sounds good.

Leader of the Aegis Protectorate, the proud Defenders of Ambidia! If you would like some heavy protection, we can do some mercenary work... but such elite warriors come with an elite price.
Re: Ambush hole
Yeah, sad.
This actually could be really useful.
Many new things to do.

A fairly good example of the ambush hole when the Romans fought an ambush led by the Celts.

Re: Ambush hole
I like it.
I think it needs less HP though.
19 is more than some actual buildings, considering this is just a covered hole I think it should be about 5 HP.
That way you need to be careful where you build them. As most units would one-shot it.
Also, archers shouldn't be able to shoot from inside it, and siege equipment shouldn't be able to garrison inside it.

Re: Ambush hole
Hmm I agree bout the hp but Just a step on the ambush hole and it is ruined so I thought it could have the same hp as Wolf hole. 20, just decreased 1 for ambush hole.
units cannot attack inside, it's just a hiding spot.
Siege and mounted units shouldn't go in it on the first place. I already said at the beginning that infantry can only get inside.

Sounds like it would be a useful unit that would allow for some interesting strategies.
I couldn't get the image to load to full size on my end, but it looks good from the preview.

Re: Ambush hole
Yes, I like this idea.
I think labourers should also be able to start constructing this, it's not logistically anymore difficult than a wolfhole or frisian horse.
Also, since it's underground, should it be buildable on wooded terrain too? (Or if not, shall we consider a hide or something that allows similar actions in woods?)
And is it possible that any unit exiting the hole can have a morale boost for that turn to simulate the effect of a surprise attack?

Re: Ambush hole
Hmm yes, I think laborers could also have this.
Not too hard to dig a hole that can fit a human inside and also add a cover.

Yeah, probably.. But wolf hole isn't buildable at woods terrain.phoenixffyrnig wrote: ↑Sun Nov 01, 2020 10:00 am Also, since it's underground, should it be buildable on wooded terrain too? (Or if not, shall we consider a hide or something that allows similar actions in woods?)
