Construct a glorious Temple to entice the dead to visit earth. Only the finest will pass the Test of the Funerary Temple.

Test Description

Funerary Temples are built and then grow significantly larger as you add tiles to them. They can never be reset. Although you can add tiles to your temple at any time, you can never remove them.

Principles

• 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

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).
