Test Instructions

When you start the test at the University of Architecture, you get this information:

''The test of the megalopolis is simple: you must build a megalopolis. When you finish, up to 49 people will pass the test.

The first step to building a megalopolis is to click on your small construction site and select 'Build a Megalopolis Construction Site'. Note: you aren't building the megalopolis yet. You're just building the construction site.

The megalopolis construction site consists of one central structure surrounded by 48 smaller construction sites. Each of these smaller sites will be used to build a piece of the megalopolis.

You are the owner of all 48 smaller construction sites. You can give them to different people individually, or make some of them guild owned, or even grant some to the public.

When all 48 pieces are finished, the site builder will pass the test. Whomever completes a piece will pass the test along with you. Note that starting a piece doesn't count -- it is whomever finishes the piece that gets credit for the test. You yourself automatically get credit for the center piece, so you do not need to finish one of the 48 pieces yourself.

A single person can finish more than one piece. But of course, a single person cannot pass the test twice, so this is very inefficient. You would be wise to seek out a full complement of 49 players.

WARNING: From the time that the megalopolis construction site is built, you have one real-world week to finish the megalopolis. If all 48 pieces are not finished by the end of the week, the megalopolis will crumble to dust, taking all your labors with it. Because of this, it is wise to gather all the people and materials before you raise the construction site.

The first step in the process is to build a small construction site, and click on Projects >> Architecture >> Megalopolis.''

Furthermore, the central structure cannot be salvaged, and there is no way to take materials back out of or tear down the other 48 sites, so do not put anything in until you're sure you can complete the structure, and have extra materials on hand if you intend to retry building the construction site for easier requirements overall.

Standard Materials Required

Each person will have different requirements. but if the same person builds two sites, they will have identical requirements. Wish I knew that before blowing 12 lapis bridges :-(

Each Megalopolis can vary from 25% of the standard to 300% of the standard for each material. In the table below, section types are listed in bold, with the materials required for a single section of that type listed below it. Totals by material are given on Megalopolis Planning Template or for a handy spreadsheet form, see the attachment at the bottom of the page.

NOTE- The list below has be updated to reflect what actually shows up on the Construction Sites. This does not agree with the "parts list" in
the Tests Menu.
