FAQ
Are Scorpions better or worse now?
They are more specialized. Against high pierce armor infantry (like Huskarls or Eagle Warriors), they are better due to the bonus damage. Against raw HP units like Knights, they are slightly worse due to lower base attack.
Does this affect the Roman Scorpion bonus?
Yes. Roman Scorpions fire faster, so while the base damage per shot is lower, the increased bonus damage against infantry makes them even more deadly against spam units like Halberdiers or Champions.
