General Information

• The Ambush Trap is a Trap Type Defensive Structure that produces 2 troops when an enemy gets too close

• It has a one time use and has to be re-armed after you're attacked (if it was triggered during the attack)

• The research Deception, chapter 3 at the Library increases the amount of ambushers by 1

Defensive Strategies

• Use these traps to delay or distract your opponent

• You can put the ambush traps in front of the Ballista/Cannon Tower so when enemy troops come near it such as Heavy Cavalry, the soldiers will distract the heavy cavalry, giving the Ballista/Cannon Tower more time to fire

• You can also put it within the radius of Angkor Wat, combined with healing power, they can take more hits

• It's also effective to put two or more next to each other so they distract the enemy longer
