Dromon coastal-siege escort
Dromon: Dromons combine long range with strong building damage, letting a fleet pressure shore defenses from outside many defensive structures’ reach. Their splash can also support naval engagements near the coast.
Overview
Dromon: Dromons combine long range with strong building damage, letting a fleet pressure shore defenses from outside many defensive structures’ reach. Their splash can also support naval engagements near the coast.
Plan and execution
Scout from the water, then use Dromons to target the building that protects an important crossing or landing site. Keep warships between the Dromons and the enemy fleet, and coordinate with land units so the shore can be occupied once defenses weaken.
Risks and adaptation
Dromons remain exposed if the fleet screen collapses and should not sail alone into enemy warships. Do not mistake long range for safety from every Castle or specialized defense.
