I think that trap is a form of Punjia sticks, horrible traps. Real World those sticks were smaller and often covered with material that would sure an infection would occur.

What ever traps are implemented into Dawn of Fantasy they will make players smile as there opponents march into them, and the receiver curse the game for implementing them.

I want a trap that does this:

1. Idiot walks into the trap.
2. There hands and legs are tied to different heavy logs.
3. Each log rolls down the hill in different directions, ripping his limbs off at the same time.
4. The logs then rolls and crushes the others...

Sounds more like an interrigoation methoid after you win to find out exactly who attacked your home Castle, or for the attacker to find out where the gold and princesses are kept.

Poison could be an upgrade for just about any trap maybe a lvl 2 variant.
I am not exactly sure how live animals would be made into a trap, what with the whole how do you keep animals from killing your people. Orks are a race that traps killing your own troops might not be a bad thing or at least in character. Animal handlers such as the hunting dog trainers from Rome Total War seem plausable but they whole release them they never come back was anoying.

traps are always good yeah i know it takes a lot of the actual fighting out but it adds a lot of strategy to it, for example the following

Heavily guarded city with killzone out front
Medium sized army
which route would it take?
A: kill zone full with melee units, in range of arrows and artillery
or
B: back route in the middle of a valley, high mountains either side looks harmless.... but filled with ingenious traps

either way will be fun for a defender and could in theory teach the attacker a lesson... or just add to the fun

but yeah someone mentioned stronghold... yeah that lacked traps i remember spamming spike traps to take the brunt of the AI attack force. The rolling log trap was always a good laugh too (especially when your main entrance is at the top of a long steep hill)

I like the sappers idea, especially the orc one it made me laugh if they did that i would choose orcs just to see that nah i cant abandon the dragons... i love dragons, dragons ftw! lol
