Canoe Tactics is a unique naval technology available to the Malians in Age of Empires IV that can be researched at the Dock starting in the Feudal Age. It adds another attack to archer ships, firing a burst of 2 javelins dealing 4 attack each. It also adds +20 attack bonus vs incendiary ships, which increases its attack vs Incendiary Ships from 18 to 38.
Like with all Malian technologies, the Manuscript Trade civilization bonus reduces the research time of this technology depending on how much gold has been obtained through trade.
