In general, the new tech names are beyond bland and the Africans in particular are a joke (seriously did they research those at all before creating them?). So the Persians having "boiling oil" aren't that bad in comparison. Of course, given that the Sassanids weaponized naphtha (which was everywhere in their empire and nowhere else) and they used sulfur gas as an anti-siege weapon in at leats one occasion (https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/4240365/Ancient-Persians-who-gassed-Romans-were-the-first-to-use-chemical-weapons.html), it is a shame that this tech isn't named "Chemical Warfare", "Chemical Weapons", or similar.
