There should be lvl/hp check in ambushes also, I've seen too many 1k mobs
ambushing +80 lvl guys, would think that the miserable mob is too afraid of
even fighting clearly a superior opponent :)

Oh, man, this is almost too easy. My responses shall be threefold:

1) Unless the monster stops to use consider, there is no "obviously superior".
Heck, with people reincing all the time, I don't even know who's a level 90
merchant and who's a level 112 ninjagaiden anymore.

2) Ambush avoidance is done by certain skills and stats. You know what they
are. If you're level 100 and don't have any int, dex, or alertness, and you
get ambushed, this is not entirely our fault.

5) If you're so "obviously superiour" why don't you just take the 1 or 2
battle rounds to make the 1k monster into a small red smear of ansi and
possibly get a mithril or box out of it? If some punk comes at you with a
sharpened stick, and you've got a shotgun, maybe he should pay for it, ja?

Well maybbe that 1k mob can try to ambush but 100lvl tank with torsomakers
shouldnt get hindered by it. Ie maybe some compare of monster hp / size+dmg of
player tms if one can just walk through it without first whacking mob to
pieces. Or maybe if ya do enough dam for mob in 1 round it ends ambush. Hey
come one ya can ambush a truck but it will most likely ignore ya and drive ya
flat.
