'''Atlantean''' outposts are a feature found on all oceans.

In the weeks leading up to the Atlantis release on Ice, [[Pillars|Antediluvian Pillars]] were discovered across all 5 production [[ocean]]s.   Beginning on August 3, 2007, [[antediluvian conch]] artifacts were released in tournaments and bake-offs.  Anyone holding an antediluvian conch artifact on August 16, 2007, was granted a map to Atlantis on Ice, giving them the initial first-hand looks at the new feature.

All Atlantean outpost battles are [[sinking]].

== Charting ==
[[Image:Atlantis map.png|thumb|left|Atlantis maps]][[Image:Atlantis league point.png|frame|right|Atlantis league point]]
[[Chart#Sea_Monster_maps|Maps]] to the Atlantean outposts are in the form of special charts, which can only be obtained from [[pillaging]] battles, defeating [[skellies]] and [[Zombie|zombies]], or randomly found inside [[black market|black boxes]] but can be traded between players as normal. They mark a route between an island and a unique league point, which are similiar to [[flotilla]] league point markers, except that they cannot be memorized.  To chart an Atlantean course, the map must be placed on the ship's navigation table. Maps are "locked" to the navigation table while a route is charted to the sea monster league point. Also, there is an Atlantean [[voyage configuration]]. Once the vessel safely reaches port, the charted course can be cleared and the map can be reclaimed by any Officer.

Upon entering the [[sea battle]] board, a vessel will start in a safe zone to the top-right or bottom-left of the board.

== Treasure Haul ==
{{Main|Treasure Haul}}
Treasure Haul is available throughout various blocks in the Atlantean Attack board.  The puzzle is played as normal, except for the addition of a 2x2 chest. If the chest piece is cleared to the top of the Treasure Haul board, a [[treasure chest]], or locker, is transferred to the [[Booty]] and its contents will be distributed to the players during booty division.

== Dragoons ==
{{Main|Dragoon}}
At any time in an Atlantis outpost battle, Atlantean [[dragoon]]s may board a player's ship. The rate at which dragoons board the ship is increasing with its size and by not using movement tokens.

These dragoons will challenge players aboard to a [[swordfight]], which will include a new piece, the aqua trident.  If the players win, the dragoon will exit the ship. However, if the player loses, the dragoon will remain aboard and attempt to take over the vessel.  Additional dragoons will board over time, up to the number of players aboard the ship. If the number of [[Dragoons]] equals or exceeds the number of players aboad the ship, everyone on board recieves a message reading: ''"Arr! Those pesky Dragoons be wanting yer ship! All hands join the fight to save the vessel!"'', and automaticaly enter a swordfight, which includes the new aqua trident piece. If the players win, the Dragoons leave. However, if the Dragoons win, they take over the ship and throw the players overboard. All effects take place as if the vessel had been sunk.

== Sea monsters ==
{{main|Sea monster}}

Another challenge of Atlantis is to sink or avoid the [[sea monster]]s which spawn throughout the board.  They will attempt to sink or trap player ships, preventing the players from hauling treasure or defend against dragoons.  Because of these monsters, pirates commonly call voyages to Atlantean outposts Sea Monster Hunts, or SMH for short.

A [http://forums.puzzlepirates.com/community/mvnforum/viewthread?p=2055103#2055103 trike board] is an Atlantis board where the dominant monster battled is a [[triketos]].

== Citadels ==
Atlantean command citadels will sometimes rise from beneath the surface to coordinate an attack. If a ship is navigated into the U shaped building, it will be protected from attacks from outside, and will be thrown into a ship wide swordfight [[brawl|fray]] which also uses the new trident piece. If the citadel is defeated treasure chests of varying quality are awarded to the ship and the citadel dives beneath the surface leaving the ship to defend itself against the waiting sea monsters. If the ship loses the citadel simply dives without giving any reward. Upon entering the Citadel, all players aboard the ship get a message saying, "''All hands join in the fight to defeat the strangers and loot their treasure.''"

==Atlantis Exclusives==
Certain [[Clothing|clothing items]], [[trinket]]s, [[Furniture|furniture items]], and [[Injury|injuries]] can only be obtained during a sea monster hunt in Atlantis. On rare occasions, [[pet]]s and [[familiar]]s are awarded. Some of these items are given out in the hauled treasure chests and some are given upon the ship sinking.

===Clothes===

In addition to being able to obtain numerous standard clothing items in the Atlantis-exclusive color Atlantean, Atlantean helmets in both male and female are given out as prize items from the hauled treasure chests. These are just a few examples.

== Booty Division ==

At the end of the pillage, booty is divided in the usual way, with a few exceptions.  The treasure chests acquired from [[Treasure Haul]] are divided based on various tasks completed during the voyage.  Below is a complete list of reasons a treasure chest may be awarded to a pirate.

* Amazing Bilging
* Amazing Carpentry
* Amazing Gunning
* Amazing Rigging
* Amazing Sailing
* Amazing Treasure Haul
* Battle Navigation
* Brave Defense of the Ship
* Consistent Bilging
* Consistent Carpentry
* Consistent Gunning
* Consistent Rigging
* Consistent Sailing
* Consistent Treasure Haul
* Outstanding Bilging
* Outstanding Carpentry
* Outstanding Gunning
* Outstanding Rigging
* Outstanding Sailing
* Outstanding Treasure Haul


In addition to these reasons, any treasure chests left over that are not allocated to players will be awarded randomly. The vessel owner receives a percentage of chests, just as they receive a percentage of the booty.

== History == 

* Starting with the July 2007 [[PoEmail]], hints about Atlantis were given out. 
* On August 16th 2007, Atlantis was released on the [[Ice Ocean]] with blacked-out art and preliminary conditions for testing.
* When Atlantis was first tested on the [[Ice_Ocean_changelog#2007-08-16_ATLANTIS_OUTPOSTS|Atlantis Outposts]] release, the Sea Monster AI was extremely weak, resulting in less challenge for those who got their maps and went to it at 11AM pirate time. 
* Atlantean AI was fixed along with other bugs later that day with the [[Ice_Ocean_changelog#2007-08-16_-_Secret_of_the_Ooze|Secret of the Ooze]] release. 
* Many players tested and reported about Atlantis, as a result of this the next day the [[Ice_Ocean_changelog#2007-08-17_-_Son_of_The_Mask|Son of The Mask]] release was issued along with an [[Ice_Ocean_changelog#2007-08-17|unnamed release]].
* Atlantis continued to be modfied when an [[Ice_Ocean_changelog#2007-08-23|unnamed release]] and the [[Ice_Ocean_changelog#2007-08-24_-_Here_there_be_dragoons|Here there be dragoons]] release came out; dated August the 23rd and the 24th respectively.
* Atlantis was released on to the production oceans on September 4th, 2007 under the release known as [[Release_2007-09-04]].
* In {{release|2009-05-27}}, Atlantis maps were given new images to distinguish them from [[Cursed Isles]] maps and regular charts. Also, the Atlantean princess statue was renamed to Atlantean priestess statue.
