I am sure it is the same against any other SC who has quickness/flying/mistform. Trample has a pathetically low probability against these buffs.
Nope, the big decider here is etherealness (although if the trampled has a lifedraining attack it's even worse). For the record, I saw an AI Dagon lose an arena dearhmatch to a Black Servant once.

Myself I learned the effectiveness of etherealness vs trampling the hard way in my first MP a few years ago, when I lost THREE Iron Dragons to a Dusk Elder and an etherealized Ghoul!
Just a few days back I've learned that trampling is much more dangerous than I thought. Some crazy golem with stymphalian wings had nearly trampled my fully equipped wraith lord to death. The problem is that the trampling still causes the damage (1 hp) and the wraith lord doesn't have too many of them to start with and there's no way to replenish them vs Golem. My WL has barely get away with it, finishing the battle with only few HP left.
