No ambush in Skaven/BM/Nagarythe default stance

Description
Prevents attacks in the normal marching stances of Beastmen, Skaven and Alith Anar's forces being ambushes.

Also re-enabled ambushes in the hidden encampment stance of the beastmen, which CA quietly disabled at some point, for some reason.

If you want to preserve ambush attacks, but prevent them from working on encamped/besieging armies, look here:

By popular demand, a Skaven only version:

Hey Macallan, I'm a little rusty with WH modding but I did change the ambush chance of a stance in this mod.

Specifically I edited "effect_bundles_to_effects_junctions_tables", changing the effect "wh_dlc03_effect_stealth_bonus_hidden" from -100 to 0 on the beastmen hidden encampment table. By default beastmen camp stance had 0 ambush chance, which I kinda needed to fix if I was removing their stalk ability.

So basically my advice is to make a "wh_dlc03_effect_stealth_bonus_hidden" effect with a negative value, and tie it to the stalking stance. There is a chance that the stalking stance is actually just the default stance so you'd have to add it to the default stance. I haven't looked into it too closely, just trawl the effect bundle key for that table for stances and it won't be too hard to see.

Good luck!

Heyo all good? I want to nerf the stance instead of removing. I've read that by default its -15% chance to ambush but honestly after playing a lot it seems to ALWAYS proc... What the name of the table and where should I look for to just nerf the chance from -15 to idk -70 lol I will need to test a lil bit. Ty :D

I'm afraid I dont have WH3, or any immediate plans to get it.

My mod is pretty simple and if anyone wants to copy it and see if it works the same in WH3 they have my blessing.

@Steevo Will the mod be transferred to Total War: Warhammer III ?

Could you also make a Nagarythe only version ?

I really hate this mechanic, so thank you.

Thanks Trekdoek, I'm always happy to hear updating will be easy!

Playing beastmen without the mod in the new patch, 50 or so turns in always got an ambush, turned mod back on, 5x no ambush when I attacked, so seems to still be working!!

Hey folks, I cant get to my PC for 2 weeks. Hopefully it still works but given beastmen got an update, let me know if its broken
