Default Re: A Cunning Plan: Trample

One more idea...

We could simply use the mechanic listed above and have a base Unit Size threshold (say =>3), and simply add Trample for unusually bulky units that can reduce the Unit Size threshold.

So, for example, a Unit Size 6 Titan can auto-trample up to Size 3 enemies and thus cause them great confusion, while a Size 6 Elephant w/Trample (+1) can auto-trample up to Size 4 enemies.

As for flying units, I think it's safe to say that they can't Trample at all, or that they have a penalty to auto-trample (Trample (-2)?). Same goes w/Ethereal and other units that have an innately low mass.

What do you think? Remember, it's important to think of Trample less as a weapon and more along the lines of Repel. Otherwise, it'd just be too "imba".
