===Overall strategy===
The Scimitar consists of a robotic tank, armed with Alienum torpedoes. Capable of launching four of these missiles, the Scimitar best used as a light weapons platform, intended to defeat units and structhres that have not been sufficiently hardened against the power of its ordnance. Its only weakness is that it cannot engage air units, and that it is costlier to build if compared to a Hunter, nor is it as efficient a devastor as the Hyperion.
Scimitars are nevertheless stronger than a Hunter, although they clearly are a slower unit to use. For this reason, the Scimitar is best used for clearing out enemy fortifications, where its treated armour and sheer forepower allow this unit to come into its own.  The Scimitar is clearly a superior siege unit, so expect your artillery units to convert to them once research is complete.
