To me scorps and heavy scorps remain kind of useless and I never see them in high-level play. Mangs, rams, and bombard cannons are just too useful in comparison to spend the training time + resources on siege workshops to produce scorps. It's kind of disappointing that none of the expansions did something interesting to make them viable.

In my opinion they should either have much higher base damage (I'm talking 20-25 for scorps, 30-40 for heavy scorps) or have big bonuses against walking units and maybe even ships. They should be really good vs enemy armies but not that good against buildings, mangs can be more all-purpose against both armies and buildings (but hard to micro except against really slow units), and rams amazing vs buildings only.

Make the scorpions glass cannons like ballistas in AoE were, why not. It would make play more interesting.
