Watchful Sentries (Ambush attack fix)

Description
As of March 2021, CA finally added ambush defense to several stances, including siege and encamp. This mod is no longer needed.

You can still download it if you want to go from 75% to 100% ambush defence chance on the encamp stance.




What does it do?
This mod adds 100% ambush defence chance to the encamp and laying siege stances for all factions. This will prevent Skaven, Beastmen and Alith Anar from ambushing your armies when attacking in those situations.

Edit :
The sieging armies won't be able to be ambushed in a future update (towards the end of 2019 I imagine) as stated by CA here :
https://www.reddit.com/r/totalwar/comments/940lhw/my_take_on_the_ambush_attack_stance_problem/e3j6rr5/
The mod will then only apply the bonus to the encamp army.

Compatibility and issues
Compatible with most mods, SFO included.
Savegame compatible.
If a major overhaul modifies stances types (in the effect_bundles table), or if a new faction is released with special stances, the aforementioned effect may not apply.

Updates
Should be ok not matter what is updated, even is the mod is marked as "out-of-date".
Don't spam in the comment section, only one comment is more than enough.

Does this still work on besieging armies? I know you updated it saying there is a fix by CA but I still got ambushed by an external skaven army even though I was besieging a settlement.

True, and I'll remove the now useless siege changes.

1) Mod works (Increases from 75% to 100%).
2) Mod works with "Radius"
3) If you want your mod to be more popular, then I recommend renaming it to something similar to "Encamp: abush defense stanse + 100%"

Yeah thanks I didn't take the time to read that

> "Unless 'Stalk' is the same stance Alithanar uses?"

I think it's the same yes, there's a tickbox like "Do standard stance trigger ambushes" for each faction, and it's ticked for skavens and alith anar.

I'm quite satisfied with the change, I'll mark this mod as obsolete and make another one if I want to make other changes about ambushes.

Unless 'Stalk' is the same stance Alithanar uses? ((That ones beyond me to find out easily and cant play atm))
Jeslis 20 Mar, 2021 @ 12:43pm 
Stalk Stance now reduces Ambush Success Chance by 15%
This does not affect the Beastman equivalent
Various stances will now affect Ambush Defence Chance
Forced March: -25%
Besieging: +100%
Underway/Worldroots/Beastpaths: +25%
Encampment Stance: +75%

so.. does NOT effect alithanar or beastmen 'ambush on attack' penalty... Might be worth you keeping the mod around with +25% more on encamp? (or keeping the flat 100%)
Jeslis 20 Mar, 2021 @ 12:41pm 
Patch notes say 100% to siege, 75% to encamp.. AND being in stalking stance reduces the skaven success chance by.. I think it said 15%, might have been 25%.

Either way, thats close enough to 100% in encamp for my take.

Great news, a bit late tho, they said they would fix it more than 2 years ago, and it's litteraly like 10 lines to edit.

Can someone onfirm that they added it to both encamp and siege stance ? And which values they have used.

If they added it only to siege camps I'll edit this mod to work with encamp stances only. If they cover everything I modified, I'll mark it as obsolete.

Finally this was implemented by CA in the last patch! This mod is not needed anymore :steamthumbsup:
