Construct a glorious Temple to entice the dead to visit earth. Only the finest will pass the Test of the Funerary Temple.
Test Description
Build a most glorious temple, in dazzling colors, to welcome spirits of those past back to earth. Temples' scores are heavily weighted on the variety of colors, and far less so on the quantity. The exact formula is a mystery.
Principles
The Glory of Funerary Temples comes more from the range of colors used in their construction than in the number of tiles.
- Build a Raeli Oven (optional)
- Start the oven Dredging
- Begin the Baking Process
- Bake a tile color other than Black or White
- Build a Funerary Temple
- Glorify the Temple with at least 7 colors of Tiles
- Achieve a Glory Rating of 7000
Passing the Test
Each week, the two Funerary Temples with the highest Glory ratings pass the test.
- WARNING* Do not guild your temple! A guilded temple cannot pass; it must be owned by you.
Glory Calculation
The following information is unverified in T8
Glory is calculated individually for each type of tile, then added. More tiles of the same type increase your glory, but there are diminishing returns: for example, 343 tiles of the same color only give twice the glory of 7 tiles. So to maximize the glory of your temple, you should try to have many different colors. See the table below.
| Tiles of the same color | 1 | 2 | 7 | 14 | 49 | 98 | 343 | 686 | 2401 | 4802 | 16807 | 33614 | 117649 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Glory for that color | 100 | 135 | 200 | 235 | 300 | 335 | 400 | 435 | 500 | 535 | 600 | 635 | 700 |
In general, N tiles of one color give 100*(1+log7(N)) points for that color.
Or, if you don't have log7 on your calculator: 100*(1+log(N)/log(7)).
The glory value is rounded down to the nearest integer after summing up all individual colors (e.g. even though 2 of 1 color will give you 135, and 8 of another will give you 206, combined they will give you 342, since their fractional components still get added before rounding down for the final score).
