Heavy Scorpion

The Heavy Scorpion is an upgraded Scorpion, with more hit points and greater attack strength. In numbers, it is useful for killing large numbers of infantry, even Teutonic Knights. Just like the Scorpion, it is difficult to micromanage as it lacks the attack ground feature, unlike the Mangonel and its cousins. It has a similar appearance to the Helepolis from Age of Empires. It is avaliable to almost all civilzations except for Aztecs, Britons, Byzantines, Huns, Koreans, Saracens and Spanish.
