Wouldn't it make sense to give certain infantry like units the ability to lay in wait to ambush their foes? The system could be very simply implemented...Add an order for said unit to (A)mbush. After the end of the next full turn the unit would be concealed until the ambush is canceled, or an enemy unit enters the same square. For instance, a unit in the square next to the ambush unit would not even be aware of the ambushers' presence if/until the moved into the same square. Where upon the ambushing unit would be given a bonus toward their attack factor (the element of surprise). Conversely, the ambushee would suffer a defense penalty (having been surprised). From that point on combat would be conducted as normal.
I think that with this idea in place, combat would be enhanced while not adding too much depth & clutter. <IMG SRC="http://forums.civfanatics.com/ubb/Instagib.gif" border=0>
