A Cunning Plan: Trample
Let's see...
I was looking at my notes, and wondered if there was a reason why Trample couldn't be handled like Repel.
Hypothetically, of course.
Namely, compare unit sizes and if the difference crosses a threshold, then Trample is available as an attack.
For example, instead of specifically saying that a unit does or does not have trample, could we not simply say that a unit can trample any unit with Unit Size 2 less or more? So, a Size 6 Titan could auto-trample units of Size 4 or less. Or Size 4 Heavy Cavalry could auto-trample Size 2 Infantry.
I like this concept because it seems simpler to apply. I could be missing something though. Does Trample only apply to particularly bulky units for a given Unit Size? Or something else?
I realize that this is just an intellectual excercise, but I'm curious what the community thinks of this. If such a change would make Trample overpowered, how could it be re-balanced?
