A Tale in the Desert 1.0

A Tale in the Desert is a Massive Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game (MMO) set in ancient Egypt. The game focuses on crafting and trading, mixed with strong social challenges. Several things need to be considered while determining which skills are available to you: Your current level, The tuition cost of a School skill, and the status of research for a University skill. First and foremost every skill has an associated level. For example, as a Level 0 Peasant you have the ability to learn all the skills required to complete the Principles of Citizenship: Stone Blade Fabrication, Carpentry, and Brick Rack Construction at the School of Architecture and Flax Processing and Clothwork at the School of Art and Music. Skills that can be learned at Egypts universities have an

additional requirement of completing research. Research

replaces the individual tuition cost with a community-level

research cost. Players homesteading in the area work

together to earn and donate the goods required to research

and unlock a university skill, which is then available to

anyone that travels to that university at no cost. Both the

ability to research these skills and the ability to learn the

resulting skill is level dependent. These university skills are

shown along with available test on your "Level and Future

Goals" screen.
