The Khmer civilization in Age of Empires 2 is centered around powerful Elephants and versatile Scorpions. To complement this theme, a Ballista Tower could replace the Bombard Tower. Functionally similar to a Scorpion but with shorter range and a fixed position, it is not especially effective against buildings but excels at controlling and denying key areas by doing pass through damage on groups of enemy units, providing strong crowd control on the defensive front.
Do we really need more gimmicks for old civis?

You’re right, we don’t need gimmicks. The idea isn’t to add new flair, but to offer a strategic fork that deepens the existing Khmer theme.
