[AreaOfEffect]

For the most part I have always found the price of the trampler to be fair. Most of the weaknesses of the elephant and Hinnom chariots don't warrant a higher gold cost in my opinion.

I do however find them too easy to amass in large numbers during the early game, which often upsets most of their weakness at this point. Nothing follows the rule of critical mass more faithfully then tramplers. Gold costs in my opinion aren't much of a barrier as huge quantities can be had at great personal cost. So if anything, I'm in favor of resource increases over gold increases.
