Why? Have you something against trying to keep your trampler alive?
I would have thought it was obvious why. I'll give you a hint; it has nothing to do with gameplay.

I think a basalt queen, size 5, nearly as large as a elephant heavily armoured, with a shield on either arm stomping on all the little people makes perfect sense. It's not silly at all!

Even better when flying...

Should I take this as a hint of what to expect in The Middle Way?

Nah...thats nothing, compared to the 3 water queens, 3 air queens, 3 fire kings and a horde of tartarians a certain someone as...

I believe that armour still reduces the battlefield movement of 0 encumbrance units. A bane or whatever with the monolith armour will take an age to close with enemies.
unless they can fly.

Flying uses a lot of energy also. The flying plus trample could mean exhaustion in a long fight, despite reinvigoration items.

I want to know your definition of a 'horde' of tartarians before commenting on wheter I'm that 'someone' you're referring to or not.

More seriously, I also have my doubts about equiping your trampling SC's with two shields. While I suppose it does help survivability, all your opponent has to do is send an equal sized oponent at you, and you're stuck with the aptly named 'useless kick'. I very much doubt your two shields will do more than gain you a bit of time in such a situation.

You can get attacks from the head slot, feet slot and misc slots so even with 2 shields and symphalian wings you can have some attack potential.
