What is the point of the stealth ability? What are they hiding from? The units are instantly revealed by enemies and there is also a sound effect to make sure your opponent notices even if they’re not looking there. It seems like a negative ability in this form
Your Spy can be hidden to help spy on the enemy unnoticed in they don’t have anything close enough to spot them.
Ocelotl Warrior and Jaguar Rider has a Ambush Attack that is good for stealth attack on enemies lured into your hidden units and the game has a achievement for such a thing.

My point is that they get revealed from a very long range and make a sound effect on top of that.
isn’t the sound effect just for yourself? didn’t notice it happending to hear its the enemy.
Only attacking buildings and all the units can see stealth units. So this is more of a raid mechanic. Also, units are invisible at the edge of the vision radius. This means that normal units become visible 2 LoS earlier. Thats all.
Not really, at least not in this general way you put it.
The Explorer has quite the big Los, you can keep track of units and them not spotting you if you move accordingly.
The oceloti warrior can raid and use their charge ability before being noticed by most units so it helps you set up the engagement.
Jaguar rider can also side raid while on stealth and wont show on the mini map (dunno if this is intended or a bug but its there)
The mythic age doggo can lurk in shorelines while stealth and use its ability to out position key targets.
These are nice and all only in theory because of the two issues I listed. In reality, it’s just a gimmick that doesn’t work.

No, they work in reality, most units dont have a big enough los to detect them and attack them before their leap
Also not showing in mini map is very big imo. Its def not theorycrafts.
Which is too loud and distracting in my opinion.
Ocelotl Warriors get significant attack speed boost after a successful ambush (stealthed+leap special). Just put Ocelotl Warriors next to a woodline between their army and your other units (ie. your harassment raids with Eagle Warriors or myth) and you’ll get a VERY big advantage.

Have you tested these numbers? None of it is explained anywhere
As far as I know the charged attack always does the same damage independent of if the units are in stealth or not.
