Its all about the Dromons.
Top Ten things I like about them.
1 If you build a dozen of them as soon as you get the tech, you have the worlds best Navy right up until destroyers appear.
2 Because of the lethal bombardment, you almost never lose any of them, so an efficient use of shields. And you can start your golden age whenever you want.
3 I love it when they chase an enemy ship into a port and destroy it. That is just fun.
4 You can conquer the world with archers on some maps, because the dromons redline the garrison so archers are all you need. Iron? dont need it. Horses? Dont need it.
5 You can put a couple of them cruising the coast early and get a trading advantage by making first contact, and they can often cross deep water without sinking. More often than a galley, anyway.
6 If you stick a warrior on one, you can send it along the enemy coast to grab a slave or two. Okay, you can do that with any ship, but the dromon is more likely to make it back home alive with the slave cargo.
7 THat flamethrower thing just looks cool.
8 You can upgrade them to transports if you get the far up the tech tree before the game ends because you conquered everyone with your archers.
9 Chasing down an ironclad and sinking it with a thousand year old fleet of dromons, is fun. And silly, too.
10 They amplify your military, by adding firepower and speed of movement.

Never join foreign workers to your cities. They will become foreign nationals and can increase the chance of a flip. Foreign workers also carry no maintenance costs while your own workers do. My point - You should join your own workers to the cities, not foreign workers.
