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)

First sentence should probably read like this for a squad.

LOYAL TO THE THRONE
After taking a turn with an Atlantean King or Atlantean Queen figure 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 figure you control.

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

(the last change to Protect the Throne isn't critical or anything, but it made more sense to me to line up the 'defense boost' wording with the wording in Water Strength)

Plus it's shorter and that means larger text.

4 Yeas, just need 1 more. Thanks for wording Ronin, and updating SP Scapey.

Will need a bio, anyone want to write one up for me?

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.

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.

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?

Looks cool.

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