Test of Hor-em-akhet

Test of Hor-em-akhet

Overview

"The Sphinx" is an alias, created by the Ancient Greeks for a statue that was already centuries old. The statues original purpose was to ask for protection from the god of the sky, Horus, and would of been known by the Ancient Egyptians as "Hor-em-akhet" meaning "Horus in the horizon". Begin this test at the University of Architecture.

Test Goal

Master the art of relief sculpting and band together as a group of 14 players to carve out Hor-em-akhet

Task List

• Smith a Copper (or better) Chisel on an anvil. It is recommended to make a Bronze Chisel which is capable of cutting both High and Sunken Reliefs
• Dig up a Silicified Sandstone block (1 TP) (Specifically slide rollers under this block)
• Dig up an Anhydrite Block (1 TP) (Specifically slide rollers under this block)
• Add a High Relief Carving to a Hor-em-ahket Site (1 TP)
• Add a Sunken Relief Carving to a Hor-em-ahket Site (1 TP)
• Complete Hor-em-akhet (3 TP)

Skills and Items

Relief Carving

• Skill/Relief Carving (Skill)
  • Lvl 0 - Low Relief. Tuition: 25 Shabti Dolls.
    • Tied in with Carving, requires level 5 to produce Low Relief Carving from 4 wood using at least a Utility Knife(click Relief Carving in Skills menu)
  • Lvl 1 - High Relief. Tuition: 100 Shabti Dolls, 100 Low Relief Carving
    • Carved out of an Silicified Sandstone Blocks using a Chisel at a ratio of 1:1
  • Lvl 2 - Sunken Relief. Tuition: 1 High Relief Carving (Not a carried item - transport via pushing or dragging with Horse and Chariot), 500 Shabti Dolls.
    • Carved out of an Anhydrite Block using a Chisel at a ratio of 1:1

Creating Shabti Dolls

• First craft a Shabti Mould
  • Same process as Nail Mould, made on a Mason's Bench from 1 Medium Stone, loaded into a Kiln. The moulds remain after firing, but can be removed. The Shabti Mould produces and cooks one Faience at a time, but takes up the space of one item when cooking other items, like Jugs.

• Then craft Faience
  • 1 Faience requires 1 Clay and 1 Small Quartz and is fired normally in a kiln that has been upgraded with a Shabti Mould.

• Finally, craft the Shabti Doll
  • 1 Shabti Doll is created on any type of Glazier's Bench, takes 90 seconds, and uses 1 Faience (consumed) and 1 db of molten Glass.

Stone Blocks and Carving the Reliefs

The High and Low Relief Scupltures needed to build Hor-Em-Akhet are carved from Silicified Sandstone and Anhydrite blocks respectively. These are found and excavated in the same way as Limestone Blocks.
Note: Carving a Relief on a stone block shows % progress, and triggers DEX and FOC timers (Dex being longer duration - 1m 30s at 4 dex). The amount of progress made each click appears to vary from <1% to >30%. You will need a heavy mallet and copper chisel (high relief) or bronze chisel (sunken relief).

• Silicified Sandstone
  • Appears to be roughly the lower 1/3 of the map - not dependent on region borders
  • Carving uses DEX & FOC and at least a Copper Chisel
  • 1x Silicified Sandstone Block = 1 High Relief Carving
    

• Anhydrite
  • Only found in the Red Sea region of Egypt (This needs clarification, whether it's the Red Sea Region, any region bordering the actual sea, or if it's the upper 1/3 of the whole map.)
  • Carving uses DEX & FOC and at least a Bronze Chisel
  • 1x Anhydrite Block = 1 Sunken Relief Carving

= Horkem-Atem Construction Site

The construction site costs 5 linen and 16 copper wire. The builder is credited as the "master architect" for the project. When other people are nearby, the builder can "Invite to team..." and pick the person from a menu list. The person is added as an "apprentice architect". Once they add a carving to the site, they are promoted to "architect". The builder can use the "remove from team..." option to remove apprentice architects, but once the person loads a block, they are a permanent part of the construction team. Only 14 people can be added.

Invite to team

Remove from team

Check Relif progress will show how many of each type of statue have been added, and a list of contributing builders.

Load materials gives the normal menu for adding items (see below).

View the team inscriptions will show the master architect (builder), architects (people invited who have loaded at least on statue), and apprentice architects (people who have been invited but haven't loaded statues and could be removed/replaced).
