What do you have to do?
The event will take you back in time for a trip down memory lane and your first visit to Egypt on Welcome Island. It also combines features of WI (Welcome Island) with Principles of Architecture building your first compound.
You will be transported to a special event area with items similar to what exists on WI. You will not carry any materials from the main game into the area. You will be given a few things to start with.
The arena has some trees around the outside and a fountain with water in the middle. There is sand on the outer edge and grass in between. There is mud next to the fountain. Slate is scattered around the water area. There are plants, shrubs and thorns.
- You will need to build a compound from scratch of a particular size.
- Unknown: If the size the same for everyone. (probably)
- You will be given 1 Old Egypt Flax seed.
- This is weed 2 times and harvest.
- If you plant and harvest your only seed you will have failed the challenge.
- You will have to build and expand a compound to the stated size.
Elementary Compound Construction
After the start of tale, the rigors of building a compound fade away. This challenge is a re-enactment of all the issues of building a compound before there are any large machines to help. It's Doing It The Old Fashioned Way.
Things to remember about early construction.
- Flimsy Brick Racks
- Wood Planes with Stone Blades
- Flax Comb
- Hand picked Grass
- Hand picked Slate
- Growing and Harvesting early variety flax seeds.
- Processing flax on early flimsy machinery.
The Compound
You will be given a size of compound you must finish in the 2 hour period to get the cheese recipe. You can take as long as you like to complete the challenge but only those finishing withing 2 hours get a recipe.
You can exit at any time. When you exit you will get a message "Checking the Results".
- If you exit and fail you will have to pay another Malardium Ore fee to enter and retry the challenge.
Sizing a compound can be confusing. Is it by "additional sectors" on the blue prints or is it by the amount of cells a sector can hold? A sector is 16x16 cells. A compound can hold at max 50 sectors unless you have passed one of the Architecture Tests where you can add more.
- There is often a confusion (in the wiki) between "cells" and "sectors" and "interior grid cells".
The challenge size is not about "interior grid cells" it a number of expansions of the building via "Add a Sector".
- How many? Good Question....
How you decide to build out the compound and the manner in which you gather and use limited resources will determine your success in meeting the 2 hour limitation for the recipe.
- READ the instructions carefully when using the blueprint menu on the compound.
How will I know if I won?
I dunno I haven't won yet .... I'll update this if I manage it.
