"The Maya teach you how to weave cotton armor. Hand infantry hitpoints increased."—In-game description
Maya Cotton Armor is a technology in Age of Empires III that can be researched at a Trading Post built on a Maya settlement. Once researched, it increases the hit points of melee infantry by 20%.
Strategy 
Edit
Maya Cotton Armor is especially useful with civilizations featuring strong melee infantry.
- The Spanish have many cards boosting their melee infantry in combat, and combined with the Missionary Unction, the technology can prove very powerful for their Rodeleros, Pikemen, and Holcan Spearmen mercenary shipments.
- Dutch Halberdiers can benefit greatly from this technology.
- The Japanese Samurai can use this technology to great effect due to their very high siege attack in the Colonial Age.
- The Aztec Coyote Runner is classified as melee infantry, making this technology very useful because it also affects their strong melee infantry such as Puma Spearmen, Jaguar Prowl Knights and Skull Knights.
