Appreciate it mate, they are such terrible mechanics, make the game so damn easy when youre using it, frustrating when youre not, and removes so much strategy from the overworld.

The goat! I was using a old remove stalk for skaven mod but it seems to be vanished.

This is even better, I was already using another mod to lightning batles, but this removes all the absurd ambush attack stances too!

Must have mod!

Is this safe to add mid campaign?
big fella Nov 17, 2024 @ 4:58pm 
perfect. thanks.

Updated to clear up some text that had been added over the last few updates and clear the outdated tag.
Cerb  [author] Nov 17, 2024 @ 2:46pm 
Np, made it clearer, thanks for the feedback
big fella Nov 17, 2024 @ 2:41pm 
oh ok you should make that clear in the description. i also wanted ambushes to be replaced with vanguard just because playing either side of ambushes is so boring. still a very good mod! thank you for making the mod and responding!
Cerb  [author] Nov 17, 2024 @ 1:47pm 
Ahh, i think youre misunderstanding this mods purpose. This mod only stops ambush attacks, i.e. attacking someone and still getting an ambush, skaven/beastmen/alith anars stance that allows them to attack and still get an ambush. It does not stop regular ambushes, which are decently balanced as is by the difficulty of getting an enemy to walk through the position you want them to, outside of cheeky exploits.

The vanguard deployment ambush is, again, only for those races/factions that can do an ambush attack, i.e. skaven/beastmen/alith anar again.

Thanks ill check it out
big fella Nov 17, 2024 @ 1:40pm 
it says "out of date" on the modloader and i got ambushed normal style once with the mod on. it seems to be effective when stopping snikch from ambushing but i got normal ambushed with this mod on I've never been able to do the vanguard deployment ambush pls update.
Cerb  [author] Nov 15, 2024 @ 1:36pm 
is it not working or?
big fella Nov 14, 2024 @ 7:30pm 
update it!
Cerb  [author] Jul 9, 2024 @ 10:17pm 
Yep, its awful, makes no sense, and breaks my immersion :(
tovie Jul 9, 2024 @ 7:47pm 
thanks, hate the idea of army being able to ambush my not moving army. especialy the idea that encampement doesnt even counter it. my 2 armies are camped next to each other yet 1 gets ambushed out in the open???
Cerb  [author] May 3, 2024 @ 5:58pm 
Cheers dude
Shhhhhhhhhh May 3, 2024 @ 5:57pm 
Thank you for update man. Exactly what i wanted with my friend, we are mostly play coop against buffed army size AIs and AI can abuse ambush and lightning sometimes, even in normal game the ambush and lightning can be annoying.

Having this kind of mod around for option to have is nice. Good work.
Cerb  [author] Feb 15, 2024 @ 1:21pm 
Yeah you could, it wouldnt be too hard - whenever ive changed night battles to be set to 0, change it back to 1 and remove the balancing work :)

can you just make a mod that removes ambush attacks , but keep lighting strike ?
MINOS Oct 23, 2023 @ 2:27pm 
The Stalking Stance is not only op , it also sucks for the Enemy Ai.

Thing is, for Example, Skaven will attack your Armies even with no Chance of winning, if you uncover their Stalking Stance with Heroes standing around.

The AI doesnt recognize it doesnt attack in stalking Stance, because it got uncovered, in Contrast to the normal Ambush Stance.

So thanks, ill try it out.

Working for me still? Which part isnt working for you?
BennyBerns Jul 1, 2023 @ 6:17pm 
doesnt work
Cerb  [author] Apr 15, 2023 @ 9:59am 
Update for chorfs
Cerb  [author] Apr 2, 2023 @ 5:25pm 
Fixed - in a manner of speaking - thanks for your help mate.
Cerb  [author] Apr 2, 2023 @ 4:34pm 
So the only way to turn that off for tzeentch is to stop them from being able to attack at all in teleport stance - so realistically i cant turn that off - i will rebalance it to give them some serious penalties if they use, however.

Hello, lightning strike is gone for me but the daemons of chaos faction can still ambush attack with the tzeentch teleport stance. Is it intended? If yes, is there a possibility to nerf this stance too in upcoming updates?
Cerb  [author] Apr 2, 2023 @ 6:37am 
Changed base reinforcement time to be considerably lower, so while lightning strike is still powerful, it wont drag out the battle.
Cerb  [author] Mar 28, 2023 @ 8:33pm 
yeah its not good on either side of it.
Thuynder Mar 28, 2023 @ 8:31am 
I actually really like this -- lightning strike makes things too easy when i have endgame armies.
