Construct as many Phoenix as possible in a short time. By enlisting the aid of other architects, you will progress far faster.
Test Description
The Test of Seven Phoenix will challenge your skills as a contractor, not a laborer. When the Hour of the Phoenix arrives, you'll be given a number of glorious Phoenix Statues that you must ensure get built at specific Phoenix parks throughout Egypt. Complete all seven within a (game) hour for maximum score. If you waypoint travel during the Hour, you will be disqualified from that hour. No Egyptian may build more than a single statue in a given hour, and no Egyptian who has travelled during the hour may build. A minimum score of 21 is required to have the possibility of advancement.
Principles
Direct teams to build Phoenix in far-flung stadiums.
- Build a Useful Phoenix for Someone Else
- Have a Phoenix built for You
Additional Information
The Hour of the Phoenix is scheduled several times per real-life week and upcoming hours can be viewed in the calendar.
At the start of the hour, a list of Phoenix Statue requirements will be published at the School of Architecture, this gives the location of seven Phoenix Parks and the corresponding Phoenix Statue which must be built at each park. These parks are randomly distributed throughout Egypt and the selected list is not known in advance.
The list of parks is the same for everyone, and can be seen from the Calendar, but the list of which Phoenix needs to be build at each park is specific to the player and can only be obtained from the School.
Rules
- From the time the hour starts until the System announcement that the hour has ended, no waypoint travel, chariot travel or expedition travel is allowed. Spousewarp travel is allowed.
- A player can build a statue for themselves, and is routinely done (you are able to run half the map in the hour with good food)
- No Egyptian may build more than a single statue in a given hour. If you want points for more than one statue, you'll have to get other people to build each additional statue and give them to you (similar to the Test of Towers).
- At the end of a Hour of the Phoenix, all Phoenix built burn to nothing (Phoenix are fleeting).
- Only one of any type of bird is allowed per location. Extra birds of the same type will give zero credit.
Scoring
At the end of the Hour of the Phoenix, you will receive n^2 points, where n is the number of statues built. This means 1 point for a single Phoenix, 4 for two, etc up to a max of 49 points for building all 7 Phoenix in a single hour.
Passing the Test
The three Architects with the highest number of points will pass the test each week.
