Hey, I haven't been able to find a complete list anywhere about where each game stands on having ambush spawns. I was wondering if anyone could help me fill in the blanks on the following list. Note that I'm using the following terms: NA: No Ambush. In these games or game modes, there is always a full player phase between when reinforcements spawn and when they can act. SA: Semi Ambush. Refers to instances where certain game flags cause enemies to spawn in the middle of the player's turn, giving them the rest of their turn to react, however many units they're lucky enough to still be able to use. FA: Full Ambush. Refers to instances where reinforcements spawn on the enemy phase and then can immediately move, with no time for the player to respond. From what I know/remember: FE1: FA. FE2: NA, with the exception of FA for the first turn when you get ambushed on the world map when enemy troops move onto your space. This generally doesn't let them reach your units, but not always. FE3: FA. FE4: FA, though only at specific predictable story flags or when battalions are resupplied from castles. It never happens out of nowhere as a genuine "ambush". FE5: FA FE6: FA FE7: FA in early chapters, NA later FE8: NA. FE9: Mostly NA, with some FA in certain chapters, namely with the Black Knight. FE10: NA on all difficulties, with one instance of FA far from the player on the first turn of 3-3. FE11: NA on normal, FA on all higher difficulties. FE12: NA on normal, FA on all higher difficulties. FE13: NA on normal. FA on all higher difficulties. FE14: NA, with some instances of SA on a few levels of Birthright and several in Revelation, and one instance of FA with Xander's troops in Chapter 12 of Birthright (it's nearly impossible for them to reach you on that turn, but it qualifies). Conquest is entirely NA. FE15: NA, with the exception of FA for the first turn when you get ambushed on the world map when enemy troops move onto your space. This generally doesn't let them reach your units, but not always. FE16: SA in several chapters, FA on Maddening, FA on all difficulties for some reinforcements in the chapter where you fight Sylvain's brother, possibly others. Can anyone make any corrections or fill in the blanks?
