Warcry improves atack

Most basic unit of all. However, it's useful if you want to "transfer population" from one settlement to another (Show me How). Barbarian peasants are more hardy, though.

Owing to the fact that all Scythian cavalry is in principle light, you could say that the faction (and the general's unit, too) is a bad one, but I would not agree - you must use this faction's armies carefully. Putting them head-to-head with legions and cataphracts is not the way.

Inaccurate against troops

The last attribute is totally unjust. These machines are priceless whe taking cities because they are able from a safe position to devastate enemy forces which are behind the walls, leading to panic. With luck and skill you can exterminate half the enemy army before going in.
