Tlaloc Canoe is very effective against other boats and undefended buildings, but like all ships, it is vulnerable to artillery and defensive buildings. It has good range, speed, and damage, but like all canoes, is most potent if built in numbers. The Tlaloc Canoe is the strongest native boat in the game, being able to defeat most Galleons in one-on-one combat. The Frigate can defeat them by a very narrow margin, but Tlaloc Canoes are much cheaper than Frigates. It can also fish, but like all other canoes and the Marathan Catamaran, it is far less efficient at the role than other Fishing Boats.

Chaac, the namesake of the Chaac Canoe, is the Mayan god of rain, thunder, and lightning.
Despite its in-game description, the Tlaloc Canoe does not have a broadside attack. It is unknown if this is a mistake in the description or a bug in the unit.
The Lakota have the Birchbark card, which also reduces the cost of Tlaloc Canoes, but does not grant access to them.
History[]
โ
Canoes were widely used by the Aztecs to transport goods throughout Tenochtitlan's many water causeways and canals. (As the Aztecs had neither horses, oxen, nor the wheel, this mode of transport was critical to their economy.) Warriors also used dugout canoes when traveling to remote parts of their empire.
