In overland travel, encounters initiate without monster visible. #237

In overland travel, in 'valley' scenario, sometimes combat is initiated without seein an enemy on map beforehand. Is this a bug?

We can call if 'ambush feature' for now. :)

I just thought of a possible cause for this. Outdoor monster groups have a flag to trigger the encounter the moment they spawn, rather than when the group encounters the party. This is intended for special encounters, for example when you step on a white dot and happen upon an enemy camp, that sort of thing. But if the flag isn't properly initialized, perhaps it's getting set to true for some wandering groups too?
