Age of Mythology TRL - Scorpion

Most ranged Roman soldiers are effective against other ranged units. The portable Scorpion on the other hand deals great damage against groups of infantry units but also deals decent damage to buildings. They are extremely vulnerable to cavalry, or anything that gets close enough to deal hack damage. It should be noted that two legionary like units carry this siege weapon into battle, not just one as shown above.
