Default Re: Giants can\'t trample?

I have to start by saying that I dislike the trampling mechanics of Dominions
more than any other part of the game. There are too many nations that have no
counter to it, and there are a few problems that make it very unbalancing (chief
among these is that damage is based on the trampler's size as opposed to the size
difference between the two units) When you see an ice elemental merrily trampling
Niefel Jarls whose waist it barely reaches, you'll know what I mean.

That said, trampling on giants is not necessarily a boon. Trampling on some
giants would be a huge improvement that giant nations simply do not need, as they
are strong enough already. Trampling on all giants would be a nerf that
would cripple giants as far as I am concerned, because in mid/late game, a trampling
commander is at a huge disadvantage against a non-trampling one.
