Short Description
This astronomy test is about discovering heavenly bodies, which may be stars, planets or galaxies, or anything else that shines a light in the sky. The players my construct observatories in order to make observations, and each observation takes a certain amount of time. Players are awarded points for the bodies they discover, and once a week the 7 highest ranking players pass, provided a certain type of body (level 7) is found during the week.
Full Description
In order to pass this test you must collect points from locating heavenly bodies, and be among the 7 highest ranking at the end of the week. There are 7 levels of heavenly bodies (various levels of radiation), and points are awarded as follows:
| Level | Egyptian days to observe | Points |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 1-2 | 2 | 3 |
| 1-3 | 4 | 7 |
| 1-4 | 8 | 21 |
| 1-5 | 16 | 49 |
| 1-6 | 32 | 147 |
| 1-7 | 64 | 343 |
In order to make observations you must build observatories. Each player may only build 7 observatories, but is allowed to own any amount. When making an observation the player must decide first how wide a field to span, size 1, 3 or 7 (values correspond to 1/7, 3/7 and 1 degree respectively). Next the player must decide upon the place on the sky (set relative to the visible stars) to observe, given in 1/7 of degrees. And finally the player must set the obervation time. After the observation time has passed, the player may read the number of stars within the field of observation of the levels given by the observation time.
Observatories must be built at a height of at least 200. The cost of an observatory is (suggestion):
- 1500 Bricks
- 350 Rotproof, Termite Resistant Boards
- 350 Dark Blue Paint
- 150 Cadet Blue Paint
- 50 Yellow Paint
- 4 Glass Lenses (new glass item)
- 8 Lens Cut Jade
- 20 Washers
- 2 Large Gears
- 14 Medium Gears
- 28 Small Gears
- 20 Linen
- 500 Resin of any type
- 5 Maat Compound Extract
- 1 Random 3-Output Springbox Quality 5000+
If the field size is 1 and there is only one star within the field of view, the star is discovered and points awarded. At the end of the week, the 7 highest ranking players pass, provided that a level 7 heavenly body has been located during the week.
Passing Principle
- Build an observatory
- Discover 1 heavenly body
