The Aquarion are the 11th tribe in Polytopia and the first special tribe. The Aquarion start off with no technology, but instead three tribe-specific units: the Amphibian, the Tridention and the Crab, replacing the Rider, Knight and Giant, respectively. They resemble the ancient Atlantis culture, conceived by the Greek mythology.
In-game description:
"From the deep oceans a long lost civilization appears. Their extreme isolation has given them special aquatic abilities that are unknown to the other more human tribes."
Cities: Gray stone pillars with red roofs, grey designs on the walls, and gold rooftops
Helmet: Fish head
Color: Salmon pink
NOTE: All official names for fruits, game etc. are taken from the official web shop.
An outdated picture of an Aquarion city. The mountains have since been changed, and the Crab has replaced the Giant. The rooftops' color has also been changed to gold instead of steel gray.
Tech Tree
Being a special tribe, their tech tree is modified. Here are a list of changes:
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.
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.
According to the web shop, the Aquarion's favourite drink is a mixture of salt water and octopus blood, that is usually drunk by their warriors before going to battle.
While in beta testing, Aquarion started with the Aquatism tech.
In the ambience which plays throughout Aquarion lands, several sounds are heard. These sounds are the sound of the sea and of calm music being continously played in the background.
