Tech Tree
Being a special tribe, their tech tree is modified. Here are a list of changes:
- Free Spirit is renamed "Free Diving", and allows for movement in ocean.
- Chivalry is renamed "Spearing", which allows you to train a Tridention instead of a Knight.
- Both Riding and Sailing allow movement in shallow water for units with swim. Riding also allows you to train an Amphibian instead of a Rider. Likewise, both Free Diving and Navigation allow movement in ocean for units with swim.

Trivia
- If you convert an Amphibian, Tridention, or Crab, it will say [tribe] amphibian, tridention, or crab, respectively.
- It is the first "Special" tribe in Polytopia, with its own section below the human tribes.
- Converted Aquarion Knights and Riders have slightly larger turtles than Amphibians and Tridentions.
- Aquarion’s special units do not get a defence bonus in cities, yet they get a defence bonus in tech-specific terrain once that tech is researched.
