My second time through I decided that the problem was not the mantraps, it was those pesky Ratlings distracting me while the mantraps snuck up on me. After getting bashed by the surprise attack a couple times I decided just not to worry about the Ratlings. They don't do that much damage anyway. Whenever a mantrap got near one of my Wizards cast burning haze and a bunch of flamestrikes and then we ran away before the mt could get in spewing range. Sometimes you can get flanked by another mt but you can always run into, or through, the Ratlings. If I ran out of "fire" power, I hid back along the moat until I recharged, then came back to finish off the remaining mantraps. As a bonus, most of the Ratlings get hit by the burning haze too. Using this method, I killed two mantraps before sighting the walls of Shurugeon, and the other two after taking a break in the moat & Samurai graveyard. It was a lot more fun than running and sniping from the castle walls or leaving the wimpy characters behind while the fighters went mt hunting. But I may have a salad chip on my shoulder. Just the sound of my guys going "uh! arg! mm! Ah!" as they take multiple hits from mantrap breath gets my blood pressure up!
