It was a pact long ago that brought the Crabs and the Aquarion together, and this pact will remain until peace is brought to the Square once again. The 2020 Aquarion Tribe Day poster2020 Tribe Day: The Aquarion empire is vigilantly defended by the mighty behemoths, the Crabs. However, Aquarion was disturbed by and now participate in "Square-wide struggle." Tribe Celebrations Their tribe previously lived in harmony with Turmelons and crabs. The Aquarion are ocean-dwelling, water-breathing, and fish-like Polytopians. (Although the Amphibian does not experience this issue, researching Riding instead of a resource technology early on slows down economic development even more.) Finally, the utility of the Amphibian is limited by its reduced movement on land (without Roads), and the Crab's lack of a ranged attack makes it weaker in naval combat than a Giant Battleship. Furthermore, Aquarion's fragmented landmasses may hinder Warriors, particularly during early-game exploration. Also, the investment in Spearing often comes at the cost of faster economic development. This leaves Aquarion vulnerable in the early and mid-game. However, researching Spearing, the technology that unlocks the Tridention, is a slow process because Aquarion has no starting technology, its resources are few and varied, and Spearing is on a different branch from the resource technologies. Aquarion's main strength is the Tridention, a powerful ranged unit with high mobility and a strong attack that can be unstoppable in large numbers. Aquarion does not have any starting technology, but it has three tribe-specific units, the Amphibian, the Tridention, and the Crab.Īquarion takes a long time to develop its economy and military, so it is weak unless the game has a large map size or low opponent count. Aquarion is the first special tribe and the 11th tribe overall in Polytopia.
