Cipactli Worship
Cipactli Worship is an Aztec naval technology that combines an immediate canoe delivery with a lasting warship improvement. It becomes available through the Dock, so it ties water control to the Aztec economy rather than functioning as a War Hut or Home City unit shipment.

Effect
In the Commerce Age, the research takes 10 seconds and costs 2,000 Food and 500 Coin. It delivers four Tlaloc Canoes and increases Aztec warship hit points and damage by 10%. The Canoes add to the fleet immediately; the percentage bonus applies to the civilization’s warships after the technology is researched.
Research condition
Available in the Commerce Age* at Dock. Research time: 10 seconds. Cost: 2,000 food, 500 coin. Civilization-specific building access can vary.
Research decision
Choose it when the water fight is likely to continue long enough for the warship improvement to matter, and when the economy can afford the large Food payment. The four Canoes can help contest the sea, but they still need a useful target and protection from the opposing fleet. Coordinate the research with the timing of the naval push.
A major investment in Aztec naval control
The Commerce Age Dock research costs 2,000 Food and 500 Coin and takes ten seconds. It sends four Tlaloc Canoes and increases Aztec warship hit points and damage by 10%. The immediate Canoes can contest water, while the percentage improvement rewards a fleet that remains active afterward. The high Food cost makes it less attractive if the player cannot hold the sea or needs those resources for land defense. Time it before a sustained naval engagement rather than after control has already been lost.
