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.

When using Heavy Scorpions, heavy damage is inflicted. If used behind walls to attack enemy units, very heavy damage can be inflicted, because the enemy cannot reach them.

Upgrades Edit

• Chinese Rocketry improves attack by 4.
• Mongol Drill increase the Speed by 50%
• Celt Furor Celtica Increase the Hitpoints by 50%
