Use mobility and raid or push before they get there.

If you let your opponent get 30 heavy scorps you definitely weren’t in control.

Mayans have good units for fast attacks in imp and whatnot but they don’t have good units if opponent can force fights.

Mayans is one of the worst civs to play vs siege infantry comps (hence one of the worst civs for closed maps) but on open maps these comps rarely work if you play properly.

Make one mangonel.

Eagles should be able to clear it if one attacks from different directions.

[supervoegli]

meso civs are fast civs.

you have lots of advantages in early and midgame.

they are *not* late game civs.

if your opponent booms out to heavy siege and cav, you missed your window of opportunity.

Aside from the other answers, the fact that he was able to mass 30 Heavy scorpions menas that you let him sit idle for a long time.

Also you probably didn’t actively scout him.

Scorpions are not cheap, and massing 30 should take a lot of time and resources.

[Umdeuter]

Make more pressure.

It takes forever to mass scorps and while you’re massing them, you’re super vulnerable to Mangonel pressure.

[damnimadeanaccount]

Siege rams filled with eagles and attack from different directions.

You can also try to use mobility and fight/raid at multiple spots.

Scorpions are slow and only strong in masses.

[rainbow6play]

As others said, (filled) rams and onagers are the way to go.

[Scoo_By]

Raid his eco.

Dont focus on a single spot with eagles.

If you deny vils gathering res, opponent will struggle to field army+vil.

You will eventually win if you keep adding vils and strong military units.

[TheConqueror753]

HC definitely aren’t going to be that great of a counter.

It’s onagers you want.

They are probably the best counter in the game, then BBC, then heavy cav.

Scorps all tend to stack up in a few tiles super easily, and an onager shot or two can kill almost an entire scorpion army in a few seconds.
