Test Description

• During periodic "Tower Hours", you (and others willing to help you) will construct temporary towers to "control" the land.
• Building more towers than other players, and placing them strategically, is the key to controlling more territory, bringing you greater progress toward passing the test.

Tower Types

• 

  Solid Land Tower

• 

  Rich Soil Tower

• 

  Hand of Man Tower

• 

  Living Land Tower

• 

  New Life Tower

• 

  Racing Mind Tower

• 

  Night Tower

Scoring

• During the Hour of Towers, participants may build towers. Each tower will control all the land that is closer to it than to any other tower. A single uncontested tower would control 100% of Egypt. The amount of land controlled is based on Voronoi diagrams quantized with quadtrees.

• Any towers you own at the end of the hour count towards your cumulative total control of Egypt for that tower type. (This means that you can have other people build towers for you, as long as they transfer ownership to you before the end of the hour.) The percentage you earned during that hour will be shown in a message in Main, and the top 14 scores will be listed in a message in System.

• The top 14 scorers in any particular Hour of Towers get to apply all of the percentage points they scored that round to their total. Participants not in the top 14 only get to add 1/7 of their percentage points to their total.

Passing the Test

• Your total cumulative score for each type of tower can be viewed from your Tasks menu. Though you will receive a talent point when each tower type reaches 100%, each must be complete to pass the Test of Towers.
