As a special tribe, Aquarion has a modified technology tree.
- Riding allows the player to train Amphibians instead of Riders. Amphibians can move in water but can only move one tile at a time on land.
- Free Spirit is renamed "Free Diving", and allows for movement in ocean.
- Chivalry is renamed "Spearing" and unlocks the Tridention instead of the Knight.
- Both Riding and Sailing allow movement in shallow water for units with the swim skill. Likewise, both Free Diving and Navigation allow movement in ocean for those units.
