		In its new incarnation the triacontor came to be known as the Dromon, or racer.
		It would be unwise to push too far the implication that the Dromon was a lineal descendant of the 8th century BC triacontor or pentecontor.
		Dromons were still fitted with rams, but the main method of naval warfare was missile hurling with catapults, together with the new weapon of Greek fire which was projected through tubes built into the stem of the galley.

		Dromon is an offensive unit 2/1 with bombard.
		Dromons are quite useful tools in the hands of the AI - whenever I've played against the Byzantines I always see hordes of them floating around dumping fire all over the coastland.
		The question of how to balance building Dromons against building galleys and caravels is also a strategically interesting one (at least with the cost of Dromons increased), and there are advantages to not having Dromons become obsolete until a regular unit with similar firepower becomes available.

		built " his great Dromions Which passed other great shippes of the commons." The " dromion," " dromon," or " dromedary " was a large warship, the prototype of which was furnished by the Saracens.
		It required the united force of the king's galleys, and an obstinate fight, to capture the dromon.
		The foundation of a regular British navy, by the establishment of dockyards, and the formation of a board, consisting of certain commissioners for the management of its affairs, was first laid by Henry VIII., and the first dockyard erected during his reign was that of Woolwich.

		Dromons were the fastest ships afloat—at least, during the period before their rowers tired—and by far the most maneuverable.
		Despite the greater weight of the approaching dromon, it would still be faster than their own galley.
		Less than a minute later, the dromon was pulling away from the ship and heading straight toward the enemy fleet.

		As she hurried down the catwalk toward her cabin, Antonina noted that the appearance of the eight dromons had at least had the salutory effect of eliminating the danger of capsizing her ships.
		But it was obvious to Antonina that the dromon would be able to ram her on an instant's notice.
		The grenadiers, Antonina saw, would be invisible to the seamen manning the low-lying dromon until they appeared at the rail itself, tossing their grenades.

		Although originally in the 9th century the chelandion was a different type of ship from the dromon, both terms came to be used later for the same vessel, as Basileios Parakoimomenos attests in his On Naval Warfare (2nd half of the 10th century).
		The word dromon (in Greek edramon means "I ran") suggests the ship's speed, while the chelandion (χελάνδιον - from chetys, Greek for "eel") refers to its elongated shape and was a term used in common parlance.

		Invading with near impunity (galleys and caravels are loath to intercept this monster) the Dromon is unique in that its job has only really just begun.
		The enemy city will be treated to a 'stream of fire' reducing the defense strength of the units within, also once the city is taken the Dromon can enter the city itself and provide bombard service to the responding AI units in the surrounding inland squares, and thus greatly diminish the AIs counter-attack power.
		Secondly, despite the fearsome nature of the Dromon, it is quite awkward to properly initiate your GA with it - especially with the AI sea vessels running like hell in your presence!

		The historical Dromon, or "racer," was employed by the Byzantines as a small, speedy vessel; ideally suited for scouting, chasing pirates, or raiding.
		Such was the success of its design that the Dromon sailed the waters of the Mediterranean Sea for more than 500 years.
		In the Medieval Age the Dromon eventually gives way to the Caravel, a larger, more powerful sailing vessel that essentially fulfills a similar function.
