Personally, I am not very knowledgeable about the specific scorpion advancements that each civilization receives.
While I am aware that civilizations that are known for their strength in siege warfare, such as the Bulgarians, Celts, and Ethiopians, may receive heavy scorpions and siege engineers, I may not have a comprehensive understanding of which civilizations receive these upgrades.
In regards to monks, I find it difficult to keep track of all the available technologies.
I know that civilizations like the Aztecs, Saracens, and Spanish have a complete set of monastery upgrades, while the Burmese lack only the heresy technology.
However, since there are a total of 42 civilizations, I may not be familiar with the upgrades that each individual civilization receives.
Lastly, I have limited knowledge about cavalry archers and their available technologies.
I recently realized that Italians do not have access to heavy cavalry archers.
Additionally, the concept of parthian tactics and thumb ring can further complicate understanding the available upgrades.
Given the sheer number of civilizations, it can be challenging to keep track of these details.
Tower, fire ship, any ship.
I was shocked when caster said Portuguese don’t have fast fire the other day.
If we are going beyond just units but include techs as well I will say I have no idea who has stone shaft mining/gold shaft mining and who doesn’t
Towers.
I’m a tech tree nerd but fuck if I know who does and doesn’t get keep/arrowslits/architecture etc.
Khmer and Chinese also have great scorps
You know what civs do get HCA?
Celts and Franks.
That’s right, two civs that lack thumb ring, bracer, bloodlines, and ring archer armor get the Imperial upgrade to a unit that falls off so quickly that it’s not worth making them even in early Castle Age.
I so badly want to play an Amazon tunnel 4v4 as Celts, Ethiopians, Khmer, and Mongols and make a deathball of 160 of the deadliest scorpions of all time (20-40 pop allowance per team member for meat shield units).
