Build great Towers across Egypt. Building far from others allows control of more land. 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.

The Hour of Towers occurs about once per three (Egypt) days. The schedule for the next seven Hours of Towers is shown on the calendar. When the hour arrives, build any number of Towers across the land. You control all land that is closest to one of your towers. Control an amount of land equal to all of Egypt to pass the Test of Towers.
+
*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.
  
−
Hint: Since you only have 20 minutes to place your towers, contract with others to build for you. Be sure to transfer ownership before the end of the Hour of Towers.

== Additional Information ==

== Task List ==
−
The '''Test of Towers''' is a [[Tests|test]] in the discipline of [[Architecture]].  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.

−
Each Hour of Towers uses just one of the seven types of towers shown below.  At the end of the hour, all towers disappear.  Tower Hours last for one in-game hour—which is to say, about 20 real-time minutes.

−
Towers are built in a [[Medium Construction Site]] (2 canvas, 8 rope, 100 boards) and are only available on the build menu during one of the hours for that type of tower.  If you fail to load the required resources onto the construction site before the period ends, your construction site remains; you may disassemble it to get your resources back.

== Scoring ==
 
== 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.

Solid Land Tower

Rich Soil Tower

New Life Tower

Hand of Man Tower

Racing Mind Tower

Living Land Tower

Night Tower

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

Task List

  • Control 100% of Egypt with Solid Land Towers (1 Talent Point) ✓
  • Control 100% of Egypt with Rich Soil Towers (1 Talent Point) ✓
  • Control 100% of Egypt with New Life Towers (1 Talent Point) ✓
  • Control 100% of Egypt with Hand of Man Towers (1 Talent Point) ✓
  • Control 100% of Egypt with Racing Mind Towers (1 Talent Point) ✓
  • Control 100% of Egypt with Living Land Towers (1 Talent Point) ✓
  • Control 100% of Egypt with Night Towers (1 Talent Point) ✓

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

Control 100% of Egypt with all 7 tower types.
