How does 100% ambush chance still fail?

[fastidious]

Playing as Lybaras on Immortal Empires and multiple times I have had an army with 100% ambush chance fail. Is this some kind of bug or is there something else that can be affecting ambush stat that I can't see?

you dont consider the enemys %
but you did get unlucky

It can fail if your opponent have even a 1% chance of spotting you (from skills and such). This seems to be always in disfavour of the player

Ambush Success = Your_Ambush_Success_Chance - Enemy_Chance_To_Discover_Ambush

So that 100% you see is just part of the equation

XCOM 2 - 98% chance to hit.

Then you reload the save, move to a different tile with a similar rate and get a hit

Its 100% before the enemy armies ambush defence is taken into account. Also its only the chance of a ambush if they walk into it, you being discovered is a different calculation.

Beats xcom 1's missing a 100% shot (There was a rounding error in the code in that game, the actual value being calculated used more decimals then the UI so the UI displayed a rounded value, so it the actual % was 99,9% or something else close to 100% the UI would round it to 100%).
