Default Re: The Illogic of Flight

My only issue with flight, is that i think they should be immune to trample. I raised this in an earlier thread.

Natural flying units that use claws or beaks to attack have to be very skilled flying fighters, and i am sure they would likely attack from behind. To imagine a bird getting trampled by an animal is hard for me. I just do not see an elephant having the requisite skill with its trunk to grab a bird in midair and throw it underfoot to trample.

Scenarios are theoretically possible(ie the trunk hits the bird and knocks it to the ground), but i would think this to be the exception rahter than the rule.
