Has anyone else found this issue? Like the ambush skill on my Straussenberg or macmahon almost never triggers, even though it is maxed out. AND whenever it does trigger, its normally triggering after an attack from a super weak unit like militia. BUT when I play against generals that do have ambush ( Haig I'm pretty sure) the skill like triggers once every 3 turns. Like I was once super pissed, as Jackson, moltke, and plumer attacked haig, but all their attacks missed, and then when I attacked with militia, haig then butchered it with 120+ crit dmg.
I honestly think ambush is quite overrated, as like, the game mechanics make it so unfavorable to the player. But, on the other hand, the cover skill on my Stepanovic, I find to trigger quite often. Its only lvl 2 (7% of triggering) but I find it triggers once every 3-4 turns, and most importantly- NOT on useless units, like once it triggered twice on the same turn when Hotzendorf and Boroevic attacked. I have rarely ever seen the cover skill trigger on some meaningless attack, so I think cover is somewhat underrated and ambush is overrated.
Right now, ambush is thought of as a 'good' skill, and cover is mediocre to bad, but I think cover is mediocre to good, and ambush is mediocre or maybe even bad.

In my opinion, both are mostly useless. |

Yes, a chance to get less damage is great, but it doesn't trigger enough and it isn't equal to skills like tactics master or the expert skills. |

Ambush is 100% damage reduction. Cover is just 50%. Both have same rate, but ambush is limited to infantry, so in the end, cover is just a weaker alternative to ambush, and other troop types wont ever need it. Cavalry has victory rush, so cover's not synergistic to cav tactics, artillery and navy has bombard, which will just overlap with cover.

Right now, ambush is thought of as a 'good' skill, and cover is mediocre to bad, but I think cover is mediocre to good, and ambush is mediocre or maybe even bad. I think it’s all about luck, but the bad thing is, Easy Tech never details about true mechanics of those skills... maybe, I guess, when the skill say “when attacking”, it only has effect when you attack the enemies, not defending or counter attacking. When the skill say “when fighting”, it has effect when attacking, defending, counter attacking... those skills descriptions made me crazy all the time. I even change the language to chinese and use google to understand what the skills saying exactly. And about Ambush and Cover, I tried to test them in some place using attack-restart-attack to see whether the percent is 10% or not. It’s exactly 10% triggered when you attack and enemy counter. But I dunno if they count those skills (or one of the two skills) triggered when the enemy destroyed by your attack. Nevertheless, we never know about the true mechanics of those skills, it’s all about luck then |
