Dromons are insane, let’s counteract this by buffing the cannon gallleon’s projectile speed. Thoughts?

I was gonna say, buff their projectile speed AND blast radius to be the same level of bombard cannon. Then I realize dromon has 3.5 speed and cannon galleon has 3. So having them both at 3.5 is perfectly fine to begin with.
Even Spanish cannon galleon is not broken.
Honestly If the dromon is considered too strong, I’d rather it’s building bonus dmg be reduced. I think it’s very flavorful we now have a water mangonel unit, and I think firstly it’s easier to balance the rarer unit by changing the rarer unit, instead of changing the more common correlate, and secondarily, I’d prefer if, even though the dromon and cannon galleon fill the same niche (destroy buildings) that they fill those roles more differently not less. So if the dromon needs a nerf, let it stay better against units and bunched up ships, but make it worse against buildings.

Yep. That’s the first thing came into my mind after watching latest YouTube video of Hera. Make CG projectile as fast as BBC projectile.
Change Spanish CG projectile 3.6x faster bonus to CG 2x blast radius.
Also, aesthetically, I’d want all the cannons to move at the same speed, just like how arrows and bullets all move at the same speed.
Until you see the pooplord strat of camping a pond with said cannon galleons.
Yea this is long overdue. All cannon galleons can get the Spanish treatment. And it won’t be broken. Its hardly like currently Spanish cannon galleons dominate every water game, from what I can tell they are hardly even the top pick on water maps. And if there was an issue, they could tweak the reload time if need be. They gave the Roman scorpions with ballistics to every civ and that was a way more dramatic change I don’t see why they can’t give the Spanish cannon galeons to every civ. Currently the cannon galeons just look super comical.

The problem with Dromons is that it has the the range of a bbc, the splash damage of a mangonel, the durability and speed of a ship. On water fights Dromons are strong but balanced win condition unit. Against land army they have no counters.
