Nerfed Balanced Ambush

In 1 collection by Forlorn
SFO: Enhanced

Description
Ambush meta is real. Easiest way to win in campaign by far, makes MP especially boring and unfun.

Let's fix it!

Terrain is more logical, ambush chances:

chaotic wasteland: 45% -> 40%
dense forest: 80% -> 75%
desert: 40%
grassland: 45% -> 25%
hills: 45% -> 50%
hilly light forest: 80% -> 75%
jungle 80%
light_forest 70% -> 55%
marsh 45%
mountain 70%
plains 40% -> 15%
swamp 50%
tundra 40%
wasteland 40% -> 30%

AR Values:

You no longer get a massive AR bonus just for ambushing. Ambush relies more on penalties to ranged units, and leadership values. Overall it's a nerf but ambush will still outperform in AR when you expect it to, just not against a beefy frontline army.

Nuna: I have no idea why this mod would affect Changeling mechanics. I don't own that DLC but I can't see why lower ambush chances would make him visible with a cult.

This is a very small mod that changes like 5 variables. I doubt this mod is causing your issue.

This mod completely kills Changeling. The whole mechanics of finding the Changeling faction army, when there is a cult in a settlement, the army is invisible. This mod makes it so that it is now visible. Recruitment is impossible even when there is a cult and is only available in the camp. So it's all bad. Can you fix nerf without making factions useless?

Mod works fine

does this mod still work?

can confirm that ambush stance is easily, by far, the strongest stance and maybe even element to an army in the entire game.

I would add this mod also helps get rid of unfair ambush mechanics:

Kitty, don't know of any such mod, however, Skaven are a special ruleset to begin with. They are allowed to "attack/ambush" by design, and yes it is insanely OP. I HIGHLY recommend SFO with this mod, as ambush stances are nerfed further for specialized mechanics like Skaven (and Alith Anar, and Tzeentch teleport).

If you can't do it, do you know if there's anywhere where I can get such a mod? I can't abide the Skaven being able to enter ambush stance, and then attack while 'ambushing'. Especially when it comes to encamped armies (how do you ambush an immobile camp anyway???)

I wish I knew how to do such a thing

Can you create a mod that removes movement in ambush stance? This rule is often enforced in multiplayer campaigns, so a mod for it would be very useful.
There is a mod that makes ambush stance require 100% movement, but that is a bit too much of a nerf. Only movement while in ambush should be disabled.
