in a strict 1v1 of equal resources mangonels lose, maybe better attack ground micro and they win? if you have AI level micro with your scorpions, scorpions aboslutely destroy the arambai. but with online lag, and human reaction speed/micro it's not easy to pull it off. i do think that if you see a lot of arambai scorpions are not bad. arambai need to be massed so their poor accuracy is made up for the sheer number of darts being thrown towards groups of enemies. these groupings make them more vulnerable to scorpions. skirms or halbs with scorpions behind is not bad at all.

if they are making arambai and elephants up front i think halb and scorpion is your best option. the scorpions deal extra damage to elephants, are good against arambai because low arambai pierce armor, and the halbs are good against elephants and an effective meat shield vs arambai. this is all in imperial though. scorpions in castle are extremely fragile, expensive, and lack siege engineers.
