Rather a awake pretender + trampler rush looks almost unbeatable.

I've seen this sentiment elsewhere, but I just don't see it. Their tramplers have 25 hp, cost 75 gold and very high resources. That means a rush is going to see a very low amount of hitpoints in it - you can't afford too many and they've got very low hp compared to elephants. That means any 1) High damage dealers (halberds, greatsword, etc.) or 2) AP (xbows!) or AN (low level lighting spells!) will drop them like flies.

Anyway, yeah they can be good, but depending on the nation elephants are way scarier in a low research (rush) environment.
