Strategy[edit | edit source]
Going into ambush stance can work to lure an enemy towards you. By going into the stance right outside a weak city, the enemy may be tricked into thinking it is undefended and move within striking or ambushing range. It can also be a good move in general to try and conceal your movements from your enemies, that way they won't react defensively if they see you coming for a settlement of theirs.
