The Dromon is a small galley available to the Mediterranean based Christian factions. It's speed under oars is ideal for the Med (and enables it to catch or evade enemy ships), but it does not have much fighting capability. It is restricted to coastal waters, but serves it's purpose opening trade routes with other factions. The Galley is the better option for combat, but the Dromon has cheaper upkeep for maintaining trade routes.
