The scorpion is another all right but not as good as you know who unit, being able to take down multiple guys with one shot at a better rate of fire than the ballista. The smaller artillery, the scorpion and the polybios, also suffer from the 'not as good as the ballista' brush in vanilla Rome 2. As for the morale effect, crushing half of the enemy unit with giant rocks tends to hurt morale more than having a temporary bee effect. They do do damage over time, which is all right if the AI has a stroke and decides to stand around doing nothing while you twiddle your thumbs and quote Nicholas Cage. The bee onagers are an utter waste of an army slot because they're a siege engine which can't do an onager's job and also mess up your army if you get the target timing wrong. They also come across as less accurate because the up and down trajectory can miss things altogether, while the flat trajectory tends to keep going until it obliterates someone. ![]() This means that the shot lands on top of one or two guys and destroys them beyond all recognition but then doesn't really bounce much like the ballista so they're rarely as devastating. Onagers fire in a much deeper trajectory, where the shot does up and then down on top of the target. It also tends to hit any protruding limbs from soldiers standing beside people in the direct path of the shot, killing them too. A ballista fires like in a very shallow parabolic trajectory that on a hit sees the shot travel through (aka kill) about three guys in a row before hitting the ground and bouncing out through (and killing) every soldier behind those three guys. Onagers (all kinds) are better at breaking walls because of greater rate of fire and slightly greater damage, but fall down when targeting enemy armies because of how the trajectory works. The basis of using non-ballista units in Rome 2 is not to use non-ballista units because they aren't as good as a ballista. Think we missed one?
