Help countering trampling monsters

If there's a swamp handy, try luring the enemy into it. Most units move more slowly there, limiting the effectiveness of tramplers.

How do you determine the size of a unit in game?

From the unit's information screen, click on the "Hit Points" field and another window will open showing basic hit points, current hit points and size.

The mass of trampling troglodytes was not very effectively countered by even high defense Calvary that is only 1 size below them so I had to just recruit some very expensive and very big Elephants.... Really the only thing I have that seems able to effectively counter 20+ of the things. Kind of sucks because I just happen to have 1 province that can produce them. Otherwise I would be SOL.

If you are at the point of wondering about size then you should probably click everything on the unit view. Hit points, Strength, Protection, Attack Skill, etc etc. Also each weapon and each picture icon on the unit. They all provide more info which can be quite useful in some situations.

Yeah, usually do, for some reason that escaped me. Been bugging me for awhile too, especially with tramplers.

Mass archers usually do the trick. Keep them in the back and the tramplers won't have the time to get to them. Magic, too.
