  • Lien Chau Crossbow — This Au Lac unique unit has +1 increased min and range, compared to the conventional Scorpion, but has no armour-piercing bonus and lower reload time.

Notes[edit | edit source]

Originally had an attack recharge time of 80 (Lien Chau Crossbow had 60). A more plausible rate of fire, 50, has since been given to this unit (the Ballista should have a recharge rate of 80 instead).
