Unit summary[edit | edit source]

  • Lien Chau — This Au Lac unique unit has 2 movement speed, +30 projectile speed and +1 increased min and range, compared to the conventional Scorpion. In addition, it also has an attack bonus versus chariots and war elephants, but has -8 attack strength, no armour-piercing bonus and a 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).
