The '''Test of Towers''' is a [[Tests|test]] in the discipline of [[Architecture]].  During periodic "Tower Hours", you (and others willing to help you) will construct temporary towers to "control" the land.  Building more towers than other players, and placing them strategically, is the key to controlling more territory, bringing you greater progress toward passing the test.

The Test of Towers
The Test of Towers
(Test - Architecture)
Other Requirements
Verification

Unverified


Build great Towers across Egypt. Building far from others allows control of more land. Your total cumulative score for each type of tower can be viewed from your Tasks menu. Though you will receive a talent point when each tower type reaches 100%, each must be complete to pass the Test of Towers.

Test Description

The Hour of Towers occurs about once per three (Egypt) days. The schedule for the next seven Hours of Towers is shown on the calendar. When the hour arrives, build any number of Towers across the land. You control all land that is closest to one of your towers. Control an amount of land equal to all of Egypt to pass the Test of Towers.

Hint: Since you only have 20 minutes to place your towers, contract with others to build for you. Be sure to transfer ownership before the end of the Hour of Towers.

Additional Information

The Test of Towers is a test in the discipline of Architecture. During periodic "Tower Hours", you (and others willing to help you) will construct temporary towers to "control" the land. Building more towers than other players, and placing them strategically, is the key to controlling more territory, bringing you greater progress toward passing the test.

Each Hour of Towers uses just one of the seven types of towers shown below. At the end of the hour, all towers disappear. Tower Hours last for one in-game hour—which is to say, about 20 real-time minutes.

Towers are built in a Medium Construction Site (2 canvas, 8 rope, 100 boards) and are only available on the build menu during one of the hours for that type of tower. If you fail to load the required resources onto the construction site before the period ends, your construction site remains; you may disassemble it to get your resources back.

Scoring

During the Hour of Towers, participants may build towers. Each tower will control all the land that is closer to it than to any other tower. A single uncontested tower would control 100% of Egypt. The amount of land controlled is based on Voronoi diagrams quantized with quadtrees.

Any towers you own at the end of the hour count towards your cumulative total control of Egypt for that tower type. (This means that you can have other people build towers for you, as long as they transfer ownership to you before the end of the hour.) The percentage you earned during that hour will be shown in a message in Main, and the top 14 scores will be listed in a message in System.

The top 14 scorers in any particular Hour of Towers get to apply all of the percentage points they scored that round to their total. Participants not in the top 14 only get to add 1/7 of their percentage points to their total.

Passing the Test

Your total cumulative score for each type of tower can be viewed from your Tasks menu. Though you will receive a talent point when each tower type reaches 100%, each must be complete to pass the Test of Towers.

Tower Types

There are seven kinds of towers. Each type requires a demonstration of materials.

Monumental Towers

As a reward, once you've passed the test, you can build monumental towers. They look the same as the standard towers, but they don't disappear. You may only build one monumental tower of each type. After building, you can reposition them once.

Rich Soil (after you get 100%)

Solid Land (after you get 110%)

Hand of Man (after you get 140%)

Living Land Tower (after you get 200%)

Racing Mind Tower (after you get 300%)

New Life Tower (after you get 500%)

Night Tower (after you get 700%)
