Which civ has the best Dromon | Age of Empires 2
The dromon, from Greek word δρόμων meaning 'runner' was a type of galley and the most important warship of the Byzantine navy from the 5th to 12th centuries AD. In age of empires 2 though it is regional unit also shared by Armenians, Goths, Huns and Romans. It basically replaces the bombard galleon but besides being an anti building unit too, it has a more versatile role. It is cheaper than an canon galleon and doesn't requires upgrades like chemistry or elite upgrade in order to be trainable. It's attack is more of a splash damage looking similar to that of a mangonel. Dromons can be both good against buildings as well as enemy ships. So, let's find out who has the best dromon in game. We have five civs, which none of them get fully upgraded dromos. They have their unique bonuses though, so let's take a look.
Armenians: Dromons fire two projectiles, Cilician Fleet: Demolition Ships get 20% more blast radius; Galley-line and Dromons get +1 range.
Byzantines: Dromons attack 25% faster. Greek Fire: Fire Ships have +1 range; Bombard Towers receive +0.5 blast radius (25% area of effect damage); Dromons receive +0.2 blast radius
Romans: Dromons have +1 melee and +1 pierce armor.

    I never stopped to think about this, but you are right. I would change towers in the following ways to push them further to any reasonable use: - Increase their building time +20%. (This will disencourage players to rush). - Decrease the time it takes with extra willagers. (This will encourage players to use extra builders). - Increase the velocity of their arrows. - Increase their HPs significantlly, (so the time siege weapons targets them is trully wasted for the opponent). - Increase their damage a little bit, say +1 per type of tower. This will PUSH towers to being used more, I think, and this will count only as an experiment to see and analyze the reaction of the playerbase. I don't think any of my changes will solve this phenomenon.

    Hello, I played your mission Basil, what I think is TOP is the landscape, it looks completely believable and real, no dull places where there is only grass - luxurious as a whole. The mission as such was fine, no problems and all the tasks were completed as they were supposed to be, probably the only thing I would cancel is the infinite spawn of the light blue player, it's annoying when you're already preparing for the final, the only thing that was a little difficult were the first attacks.. everyone suddenly and for the first time it destroyed me, otherwise great and I hope that the next missions will be just as graphically elaborate. Thanks

As for the light blue player,I had to add the spam, since by that time you're overpowered with basically two small opponents to win. I didn't want it to feel boring at that point of the game. Next mission is 10x better in my opinion. You are back to Constantinople and you must retake it from usurpers, while you must convince the Rus to send you reinforcements, the famous Varangian Guard. It's a fun campaign and almost ready
