The Test of the Library of Alexandria |
---|
(Test - Architecture) |
Verification |
|
Build a Library and convince others to fill it with their knowledge. Those libraries that amass the most books shall be collectively known as the Libraries of Alexandria.
Test Description
You begin the Test of the Library of Alexandria. Build your Library, and convince scholars to fill your shelves with unique tomes.
Those with the most books pass the Test, while runners-up get the option to expand their shelves.
Principles
Principles of the Library require you to build a Library and fill it with 14 books.
- Build a Library
- Collect 14 Books
Library Cost
- 15000 Bricks
- 5000 Boards
- 100 Sheet Glass
- 1000 Concrete
- 750 Cut Stone
- 1568 Green Paint
- 1568 Yellow Paint
- 2000 Plaster
- 4000 Nails
- 500 Papyrus Paper
- 500 Ink
- 4 Quills
Books for your Library
Once you have built your library you can start filling it with books. To do this simply click on the library and click "Author Book". You can add a book to your own library. Players can author as many books as they want but can only place one book in any library unless the library expands. They don't need to be signed up for the test to author books. Sometimes a player will be unable to author a book for a library due to hash functions: the message they get is a bit misleading, since it doesn't mention a hash issue, but a lack of shelf space (Sorry, but the shelves are getting full. Come back once this library has been expanded). Library owners might think they need to wait till they get an advance, so they can expand the library (see below), instead of looking for more people to author books for them.
Each book costs:
- 100 Papyrus Paper
- 100 Ink
- 10 Twine
- 1 Leather
- 2 Mandibular Glue
This test brings with it a new "Achievement"; "Author A Book".
Passes
Each week, the owners of the two largest libraries (with most books) pass the test. The owners of the next seven largest libraries get an option to expand their libraries. Once expanded, prior authors can now add an additional book.
First Expansion
Expanding the library changes the graphics. A second set of shelves is added to the front of the library and an ornate sculpture is placed between the shelves. |
Second Expansion
This expansion adds meditation platforms to either side and a third set of shelves. It is unknown whether there are any additional expansions |
Demonstrating the Test
To open the Library of Alexandria Test the following requirements are needed:
- 1 Mandibular Glue
- 1 Sheet Glass
- 1 Concrete
- 1 Ink
- 1 Papyrus Paper
- 1 Oyster Shell Marble
