Strategic Analysis
Tactical Identity
The Dromon is your **Castle Age siege ship**. It brings Cannon Galleon-like range before Imperial Age.
Tactical Playbook
Extreme Range
12 range in Castle Age is unmatched. Outranges everything except Castles.
Shore Bombardment
Attack bonus vs buildings makes Dromons excellent at destroying shoreline structures.
Fire Damage
Deals fire damage that can spread to grouped units. Devastating vs clumped ships.
Critical Point
**Slow at 1.2 speed**. Galleys can kite you if not supported. War Galleys at 1.43 speed will close and overwhelm you. Mix with faster ships.
Understanding The Stats
The Dromon is a unique siege warship with exceptional range for its age.
Castle Age Range
Nearly Cannon Galleon range in Castle Age. Huge advantage.
Fire Attack
Deals fire damage. Spreads to grouped targets.
Building Bonus
Effective shore bombardment capability.
Slow Speed
Slower than War Galleys. Needs escort.
Coach's Tip
125 HP is good but not exceptional. Your value is range and fire damage, not tanking. Stay at maximum range.
