And here's an important piece of advice: "You are not supposed to trample them"

Are you sure about that? I know that this is what the manual says, but I had
a horde (40+) of ice elementals try to trample one Jarl, and they barely scratched
him although they were trying until the clock ran out. It's possible that he
was getting low damage because he was dodging the tramples, but as I said, there
was a horde, and I have trouble believing that his defense was his only salvation.

In my test to see if Cave Drakes could be used to stop elephants, I found out that they can't. They seemed to take just as much trampling damage as normal size 2 humans; had the size difference had an effect, their armor would have protected them from most of the attacks.

I am quite certain that it is only the size of the trampler that matters. Size 5 creatures do not take any less damage from trampling then size 2.


As an aside, seeing awed units stopped elephants is very amusing.

Well, I guess it is size then. I would love to see it changed, though.
