Pyramids

From A Wiki in the Desert
(Redirected from Pyramid)

Pyramids are massive construction projects which, as they are completed, bring blessings to Egypt in the form of various game-wide bonuses. They are constructed from limestone blocks which are dug out of the sand and transported to a special Pyramid Construction Site. The process is extremely time- and labor-consuming, particularly for the larger pyramids.

A 506 block pyramid

You must have the Pyramid Construction skill learned in order to help build pyramids.

Pyramid types are based on the order they're built and pyramid size is based on the number of pyramids to come before it. So 8 size 55 pyramids, 1 of each type, had to be built before the first size 140 pyramid could be built.

The exception to this rule are the size 14 Pyramid of the People which are for the Test of The People's Pyramid. The number of these built have no effect on the pyramids that give Egyptwide buffs.

Pyramidions

Before a size 55 or greater pyramid may be consecrated, a Pyramidion must be installed into it.

Rite of Investiture

From size 140 and up, all three factions need to work together to finish a pyramid, through performing the rite of investiture. This can be done as soon as the Pyramid Construction Site has been built, and is done by clicking on the site (which needs to be publicly usable) and choosing Perform the Rite of Investiture as a <rank> of the <faction> faction. The number of people required from each faction to perform the rite is shown in the table below:

Size (blocks) Members Kinsmen Fellows Patriarchs Elders
55 0 0 0 0 0
140 1 0 0 0 0
506 2 1 0 0 0
