JimMorrison: I'd just fake the trampling with a weapon that does more damage to smaller units-I mean, you're talking about a tank, if it crashes into even a big unit, they're probably atleast going to bang a knee or something!

I wouldn't do boiling oil though, because you're running on mammoth-power, and inside the big hot metal box, they're going to eventually turn into mammoth stew.

Or more likely, just get very very pissed off, which won't be pleasant for any involved parties.

Well, that couuuuld work. Would have to give it a bunch of attacks though, to simulate it really rolling through a line. Otherwise it would become a gigantic, cool looking, joke as it killed 1-2 men per round.

As far as the oil goes, imagine that inside of the steel shell, is basically just a very large chariot, so the mammoths in front, and the crew is in back. The crew could have an open top for venting the oil fire.

But to me, the details are less important than the point that it is a late game super weapon, and I felt because of that, one thing that would help set it apart from other chariots/tramplers, is a nice damage shield. Could give it the Poison Barbs effect, but Ulm isn't really poisony, so then still have to get creative with some nonsense about a toxic byproduct of Blacksteel forging, that they apply to the spikes.
