Going off the description here, I have not watched the clip.

An army gets caught against terrain when it is already trying to leave. It is the same thing I said about the fighting retreat video. The moment you turn, your damage is pointed the wrong way and the map is deciding where you can go instead of you. Terrain is that with the map doing the deciding earlier.

Whether any of that carries into Ashes II I could not tell you, I have not played it. In Escalation the answer was never better ground. It was not ending up somewhere I needed any.
