0DST Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 So, a few days ago I had an idea that centered around the "Untouchable" theory, where you have a large amount of beefy defenders, with some weapons attached to pick away at the life-points of the enemy. After a few beers and a game of Carcassonne later, the idea became set in my mind that this would work as an archetype. Having just joined, this seems like the perfect time to post what I have so far. Generally, the idea works around the "Harpy Lady" theory that you have one "Imperial Fortress" that the rest of the constructs spiral off of. The support structures are protected resources as long as an Imperial Fortress is alive and well, with Artillery and Legendary Fortresses making up the rest of it. Of course, there will no doubt be spells and traps that tie into this as well, but for now I have a basic structure to build upon. [spoiler=Light Defences ] Basic Imperial Fortress EARTH/Rock/Effect Level 2 This card counts as "Imperial Fortress". You can Special Summon this card in Face-Up Defence Position (This counts as a Normal Summon).

Number IV Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Hi there, im here to rate and review. -> 6.5/10 -> I feel as though your Legendary Forts should be Extra Deck Monsters, preferably Xyz -> You should also change your Support Structures to Pendulum Monsters, seeing as the main point of this deck from what I can gather is to build up a lot of defense quickly and the brokeness of Pendulum Summoning would help -> If you had planned on Spell/Trap card, you should pull a Ghostrick and have 2 Field Spells along with some Con't/Quick-Play Spells and Con't/Counter Traps -> Good job so far.

0DST Posted August 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Thanks for the review, Leo! The idea behind using Pendulum Monsters sounds interesting, but I have very little experience with their terminology, so I will have to look into it before going making the change. I like the rest of them, though. I was thinking about making some field spells to denote areas of the Empire, and I was going to have traps that acted like the traps you would find in a regular castle or fortress. Also, as an update, I have added two new Support Structures, the first three pieces of Artillery, and some Workers of the Empire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number IV Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 I like this update as well -> Instead of saying "this card counts as 'Imperial Fortress'", you want the terminology to say "(this card is always treated as "Imperial Fortress") ->I like the fact that the workers of the empire can summon the support structures, but if you aren't going to do Pendulum, i would either reverse the levels btwn the 2 or increase the levels of the support structures to 3 -> Provided you are adding more Mild and Heavy defenses, you should add some flip effects and have more tribute effects in the event that you need to clear your and/or both sides of the field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0DST Posted August 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 The upset sigh-bump of lack of views. Just to make sure this doesn't die without me noticing. Haven't had much time to update the set, but there will be one soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
