I realize it may be a balancing issue for flier to get free attacks, but when flying units use talons to attack, it is hard to imagine they are getting low enough to be trampled underfoot. So units that are birds, I cannot see them getting trampled. sorry. I can see them getting hit with weapons since they are low enough to attack. But how the hell is an elephant going to knock down an eagle and trample it? Under your scenario, maybe it should have a chance to knock the flying unit to the ground, then a trample, but i do not think it should be an automatic trample, which effectively means the elephant hits the flier(not easy to do) with its trunk 100 percent of the time and that the flier lost its ability to fly every time.

I think tramplers should get an attack with its trunk or weapon against flyers, but that is it.

With respect to caleaum, i think the assumption that they are on the ground when shooting their bows is valid. But their units attacking with melee weapons should be in the air, with the endurance penalty for fighting in the air that will bring them to the ground after 2-3 rounds of combat.

I mean if you had wings and a sword, if you had the endurance, would you be attacking the elephant on foot, or flying up and driving the sword down through its skull? Some common sense goes a long way here.

Flying units like demons, that use talons and claws, and have zero encumbrance, I just cannot imagine they would be attacking from ground instead of from above.
