Description
So... When I saw 'The Crystal Empire' and Cadance's flickery force-field spell, the first thing that popped into my head was 'What they really need right now is Dr. McKay with a ZPM. That'd solve everything'As a result, the Crystal Empire-Atlantis idea has been sitting in my head until I decided to put this together and get it out of my system for a while.
Overall, I was trying to create an impression of the Crystal Empire 'at the height of it's glory' ala Atlantis-before-the-Fall (Thus the large spires instead of small crystalline houses), but i'm not really sure how well it turned out. The Force field turned out rather well, though, considering it took the longest to get looking right.

Is this the Stargate version of Atlantis, or the Disney version of Atlantis?
If it's the former, then it looks really nice.
If it's the latter, then you win the Internet and all of my respect for making AMAZINGNESS happen.
Either way, it looks really good. Nice touch with the spires. You also did the force-field well, and the entire Empire looks pretty darned nice.

It's the Stargate version of Atlantis. To my shame, I have not yet seen Disney's Atlantis.
Glad that you like it, though!

To be honest, I believe the Crystal Empire + Force Field were in fact a direct reference to Stargate: Atlantis.
At least in the MLP wiki it is stated as such.

I thought it was a reference to Disney's Atlantis.
I mean, it has the part where the streets of the city glow, while the antagonist is destroyed by a crystal in some form or other, and so on.

Oh, now thats a movie I haven't seen in a long time. It could be possible though.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if it was a deliberate reference. While watching the episode, my housemate spotted that scene and for a moment thought that I was watching a cartoon version of SG:A. HeΒ was quite excited until I informed him it was an FiM episode.
