The Book of Atlantean Palace Guards
 

_________________________________________________________________

Character Bio - Atlantis is an advanced civilization with a unique understanding of the Earth's oceans. Much could be gained from peaceful sharing of knowledge between their culture and that of the surface dwellers. Unfortunately, peace can be hard for Atlantis to maintain. Its precarious position as an undersea culture breeds constant conflicts both internal and external. The rulers of Atlantis know that a strong, loyal guard is vital to keeping the peace and maintaining order. (By Ronin)

LOYAL TO THE THRONE
After taking a turn with an Atlantean King or Atlantean Queen you control, you may move any number of Atlantean Palace Guards you control up to 5 spaces each. Any Atlantean Palace Guard moved this way must end its move adjacent to an Atlantean King or Atlantean Queen you control.

PROTECT THE THRONE
Atlantean Kings and Atlantean Queens you control add 1 die to their defense for each adjacent Atlantean Palace Guard you control.

Nice!

This is all I got for em, photo wise:


Don't have any others - I imagine the other angles I took must have come out crappy.

Re: The Book of Atlantean Palace Guards (Breathing Period)
 

Other than some subject/verb agreement errors to clean up, it's looking good. :-)

For Protect the Throne do we really want to go friendly or should it be one that you control? It'll only matter in team games (so probably 4+) but I think I like it better if the same person has to take the guards and the King/Queen to get the bonus.

Not hugely important to me, since I never play with such numbers, but I thought it was worth consideration.

First sentence should probably read like this for a squad.

Looks cool.

Re: The Book of Atlantean Palace Guards (Breathing Period)
 

No new comments. I appreciate lifting the limit on the defense power. Might want to tag the CRB sooner rather than later.

Re: The Book of Atlantean Palace Guards (Breathing Period)
 

Anyone else have a preference on this? As I really don't.

Either way, I went ahead and updated the SP with some wording changes (hopefully for the better).

@dok @Soundwarp SG-1 @Dysole @weebaer , thoughts/worries?

Re: The Book of Atlantean Palace Guards (Breathing Period)
 

It's pretty minor but it makes sense that it should be the same player.

Re: The Book of Atlantean Palace Guards (Breathing Period)
 

No concerns

Re: The Book of Atlantean Palace Guards (Breathing Period)
 

I think it should just be cards you control. If you are playing a part of a team and draft this Unique Squad you should be the one to draft the King & Queen anyway. One team is team Atlantis, then the other team can be something else entirely that complements it well.
