Test of ornamental banner
Life in ancient Egypt was and is very much the color of sand, as is expected from life in a desert. Along the Nile and in the northern (Egyptian southern?) delta the green leaves and colorful flowers was used as inspiration in most home decor in the ancient world.
Life in Egypt for us, in this game today, have for that reason the same need for decoration as did the homes in ancient Egypt.
With factions being overthrown, discarded, nuked (and any other way to say "yey, be gone you evil invention") there will be three in themselves beautiful banners that we can use to decorate with various types of gems, colored cloth, gold wire and foil, raeli tiles and silk ribbons in all the colors of the rainbow.
This art-test will give us the opportunity to create unique banners for our guilds and home camps. This require the builder to have the camp decoration technology unlocked at at least level 2.
When the technology Sign Construction 2 and Banner construction have been unlocked we can choose to build one of the current three house banners.
Todays models (with new requirements for the sake of the test)
Build cost: 100 Termite-resistent, fireproof, blond boards, 20 wool cloth, 25 linen cord, 25 rawhide strips.
These three different banners give different possibilities when decorated since they are so differently designed, with Meshwesh banner being the least decorated, limited to 100 items, the Hyksos banner is a mid. level with a limitation of 150 items and the Kush banner have a limit of 200 items (attached items, not counting the frame and "flag" that goes with the non-decorated banner) (this may change as needed depending on the limitations of the game and code, so should be seen as a mere suggestion.)
When the base for the banner have been completed we can add decorations: (1 decoration + material to attach count as 1 item)
Decorating the wooden frame use 50 raeli tiles in the color of your choice (all banners)
Pearls, 1 gold wire for each pearl to attach them to the wool cloth
Colored cloth: Silk or linen, (same cost as always to create). Attach using copper wire, 4 / linen cloth and 4 silver wire for silk cloth.
Colored Ribbons and panels (same cost as always to create) used as an outline for your pattern: Attach in patterns using raw silk.
Colored ribbons attached to the outer end of the wooden frame (one silver nail each) display the same way as ribbons attached to your body.
Cut gems, 1 gold wire for each gem attached to the wool cloth OR mandibular glue to attach to the wooden frame (_after_ any potential use of raeli tiles. If the gems are attached before raeli tiles they will break when removed, and they will have to be removed using a mallet and chisel).
Considering the different gem cuts with different colors is already present in the game it seems like a good idea for us to be able to display them.
Gold Wire and Gold Foil for outlines of selected parts of the image we create on the banner. Attached with 1 mandibular glue/item (10 wire=10glue, 10 foil=10 glue)
The artistic limitation resemble the limitations from raeli mosaic combined with statues, this will however give more artistic freedom to the creator than the mosaic tables since this will not have the edged leaning shapes. This will give us the opportunity to create beautiful and colorful decorations for our favorite places in Egypt. The difference from the statue is the use of items that may be seen as "complex". This may therefor be changed if needed for the game to work but part of the point is to be able to display all the wonderful gem cuts and shiny pearls that only sit in our warehouses today.
To avoid some of the common problem with low FPS in overly populated areas and around player made statues these banners need to be spaced out at least 25 coordinates apart.
Judging the banners is based on the same principle as other art tests, looks and skill and follow the same idea as for example opticon and raeli mosaics.
There will be 2 test passes each week for the highest rated banners throughout Egypt.
