back to [[Groentje Players Manual]] content page

= HOW TO START =
To play ‘The Reincarnation’, you need to be connected to the internet and have a web-browser open (e.g. Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Opera, Safari, Firefox).

== Creating a The Reincarnation account ==
* First surf to http://www.the-reincarnation.com
* Then click the 'Register an account' link, to get access to our forum and our game servers
** You will need a working email-address and click a link in an email to activate your account
** The account gives you access to your mages, but also our forum 'the UBB'. The account name is also known as the '''UBB account'''.
** Choose a name that is not insulting, sexist, racist or otherwise offensive.
** If you are the only person using your computer, why not set it to remember your TR password.
** [[Groentje_Players_Manual_Ch10#The Reincarnation's Bulletin Boards|Chapter 10]] has a section explaining on our forum.

=== Account Creation Trouble ===

* Carefully check your email inbox. In the text of the email that TR send you, there is a link. You have to click that link to activate your account. Thereafter you can use your login and password combination, to log in at any time.

* If you remain unable to activate your account: contact the admins [http://www.the-reincarnation.com/contact.php by email].
** Use the same email that you used for your Account creation.
** Admins only answer to known email-adresses.
** Do not forget to mention the approximate time that you created your account.

* If your account worked, but suddenly doesn't anymore: contact the admins [http://www.the-reincarnation.com/contact.php by email].
** It is possible that admins disabled your access because you broke rules of conduct on the forum or cheated in the game, or because you are mistaken to have done so.

== Creating a New Mage ==
=== Pick your server(s) ===
* After you gain access to the forum, go to the main page and create a mage on the server(s) of your choice.
** You may want to bookmark our main page as one of your favourites, because you’ll need to login at this page each time you decide to play your mage in the future.
** The GUILD server is the best environment for new players nowadays.
** The SOLO server is particularly suited for returning veterans who want to brush up their skills and test out how TR evolved since they retired.
** The ARCH server is great for players who like a slower game, focusing more on stacking and strategy as the strongest spells and units are not present on this server.
** TR-addicts play all servers. You may play the same colour (wise for newbies) or different colours (challenging) on each server.
* A new mage is created by giving it a name and selecting a color.
** You can only have one mage on each server.
** You can play one mage on each servers.
** All your mages are tied to your single TR-account (UBB-account).
*** Admins monitor for players with multiple UBB accounts and multiple mages on a server.
*** Such is considered cheating and associated accounts are deactivated and removed.
** Note that the rules of TR, the so-called [[Decalogue]] are flashed when you reincarnate your mage.
*** The game rules are on display on each game server (in the Great Council section), in this [[Decalogue|wiki]] and [http://www.the-reincarnation.com/viewtopic.php?t=14200 on the UBB forum]

=== Magename and Magenumber ===
* Because your mage is connected to your general account, you only need to choose a mage name and a mage speciality.
** You will not be able to change your mage name in the game, so choose carefully (and note Decalogue statement on foul language).
** You can decide to have mage name the same as your UBB account (very proud) or a different mage name (more anonymous).

* You’ll also receive your mage number, unique to you, that is an additional identifier in the game.
** You cannot change that number.

=== Only One Mage per Player per Server! ===

'''Important''': Players are supposed to play only one mage on a server (see the [[Decalogue]]). Creating a second account to reincarnate extra mages while you still have an old one is considered cheating (‘multi-maging’) and will result in deletion of both mages and all but one accounts (if not all accounts). Players are allowed to play mages on each server, but one per server only.'''

=== Sharing a computer ===

'''Important:''' If you share a computer with another player or other players - in most circumstances each of you can play the game, BUT you will have to inform the developers/admin team about your shared connection situation. Hereto, there is a 'Multi-account registration' link for each server, e.g. found in the Council of the Emperor screen in the game.
This information can be found on each of the servers: [http://guild.the-reincarnation.com/main/multireg.html Guild] | [http://arch.the-reincarnation.com/main/multireg.html Arch] | [http://solo.the-reincarnation.com/main/multireg.html Solo] | [http://beta.the-reincarnation.com/main/multireg.html Beta]

* If you do not inform the developers, your accounts will be considered to violate gaming rules ('multi-maging').
* You can read [http://www.the-reincarnation.com/viewtopic.php?p=230372 this 'FAQ on when to register']. It deals with most situations regarding sharing computers.

== Playing your Mage ==
Every time you decide it is time to play your mage - whether once every few days, once a day, a couple of times per day - you'll find yourself surfing to our website and entering Terra through the gates of the server.

'''Note that players are supposed to play only their own mage (see the Decalogue). Checking, playing, maintaining or inheriting someone else his mage, even on the owners request, is considered cheating and will result in account deletion.'''

=== Log In ===
'''The quickest login''' is through [http://www.the-reincarnation.com The Reincarnation's portal page]. That way you can even glance at some information on your mage and decide if you have to log in or not.
* If you have saved the password on your computer, you just surf to http://www.the-reincarnation.com and click and play.
* If you are playing from a new computer or a public computer, you have to login to [http://www.the-reincarnation.com www.the-reincarnation.com] to be able to play your mage:
** Enter your mage name and password exactly as you originally specified
** Check CapsLock if login fails; passwords and account names are case sensitive.

=== Alternative Log In ===
When the server of '''www.the-reincarnation.com''' is down for some unfortunate reason, you can use alternative log in links. There is one for each server. See the [[Groentje Players Manual Ch2#Troubleshooting|the troubleshooting section]] below.

=== Log Out ===
* On shared computers, you should log out from the portal page after you are done playing.
** You can bring up [http://www.the-reincarnation.com www.the-reincarnation.com] and see if you are logged out correctly at the top of your screen.
* If it is just you using your computer for The Reincarnation: don't bother about logging out:
** just close your browser window when you have had enough of it.

== Web navigation in ‘The Reincarnation’ ==
The Reincarnation is a web-based game, that you play using your web browser. '''Take notice that once retrieved, game pages do not update themselves.''' Not having up-to-date information has proven disastrous for many mages, so be aware of this when using browsers buttons like ‘back’ and ‘forward’. You can use the ‘Refresh’/‘Reload’ button to retrieve an updated game page (e.g. your ‘main menu’ or your ‘status report’). Again, be aware, because in some cases this may make you repeat a previous action by accident. If you want to pop-up a game page in a separate window, you can try pressing the ‘shift’-key while you click on a link (e.g. your status report or a rank screen). Navigating from page to page is most straightforward just using the links on The Reincarnations web pages itself, avoiding your browser's features.

=== The First 120 Turns ===
A new mage is protected from hostility for the first 120 [[turns]]. This gives newly reincarnated characters a chance to develop their initial land and fortify their kingdom. During these first 120 turns there are some restrictions to in-game activities: the mage can start summoning troops and after turn 60 also start recruiting troops, but is unable to attack other kingdoms and may not buy on the Black Market. Neither can a mage offer/accept an alliance or join a guild and be attacked by other mages in any way.

To set new players on the right track when starting to play the game, The Reincarnation provides [[Beginner%27s_guides|dedicated WIKI pages]]. They give suggestions on how to spend the first 120 turns, and help you familiarise with the game controls, while preparing you somewhat for the unprotected game play after turn 120.

== Troubleshooting ==
If you have trouble logging in to The Reincarnation, while other web pages can be accessed like always, it is possible that The Reincarnation's servers are very busy and unable to support more players at the moment. You should continue attempting to log in until you succeed or you wait for a while and try again after some time. This is an imperfect world, and from time to time our servers will be down. The volunteer developers/admin team is generally alerted to this almost as soon as it happens, and will work to have the servers up and running as soon as possible if trouble occurs.

===Alternative ways to Log In===
In the rare case that www.the-reincarnation.com is down, you can try to login through
* [http://guild.the-reincarnation.com Guild Server directly] - ''use your TR portal name (=UBB name), not your mage name''
* [http://app.the-reincarnation.com App server directly] - ''use your TR portal name (=UBB name), not your mage name''
* [http://solo.the-reincarnation.com Solo server directly] - ''use your TR portal name (=UBB name), not your mage name''
* [http://blitz.the-reincarnation.com Blitz server directly] - ''use your TR portal name (=UBB name), not your mage name''
* [http://beta.the-reincarnation.com Beta server directly] - ''use your TR portal name (=UBB name), not your mage name''

===Account deactivated===
Our administrators can decide to reject access to our servers - usually when you are suspected from breaking game rules, such as 'only play one mage on each server'. Email is the only remaining way of contacting the admins.

===Your entry has expired===
You may receive a message reading ‘Your entry has expired’ every now and then when you are playing the game. This indicates that your 'cookie' information has expired, which effectively means you are logged out. You can simply log in again and thereby refresh the 'cookie'. Generally, this message will only appear once in while, when you are online for a long time. Occasionally you will receive this message several times, indicating that the server is too busy for you to be able to re-enter. In this case you should try to log in at a later time.

Groentje Players Manual

Basmith: /* HOW TO START */

{{Navigation}}

Originally featured on the [[The Reincarnation]]s portal main page, this is the wiki version of the Player's Manual.

This version is a more up-to-date, edited and cross-linked version, that started from the portal-version by [[User:Groentje|Groentje]].

= WHAT IS THE REINCARNATION =
[[Groentje Players Manual Ch1|Chapter 1]] briefly introduces wannabe players what the game is:
* turns and time | competition | the five mage specialities (colours)

= HOW TO START =
[[Groentje Players Manual Ch2|Chapter 2]] explains how to create a New Mage
* one time TR account creation | day-to-day login for mage play.
* It advises on what to do when you have trouble Logging In.
* It points to other sources that are useful when learning to play, e.g. by guiding you through your First 120 turns.

= THRONE ROOM =
[[Groentje Players Manual Ch3|Chapter 3]] goes through the Throne Room options in the Main Menu.
* It explains what your Status Report is for and how In-game messaging works.
* It goes along all the mage options, including [[Mage Description]] | [[Meditation]] | Deleting your mage.
* The Audience link is more or less skipped, as heroes are discussed in a later chapter.

= INTERIOR =
[[Groentje Players Manual Ch4|Chapter 4]] goes through most of the INTERIOR part of the main menu. It discusses:
* Buildings and what you need them for.
* Resources and what you use them for.
* Gelding, Recruiting and Exploring.

= MAGIC =
[[Groentje Players Manual Ch5|Chapter 5]] goes through the MAGIC section of the main menu. It explains:
* Adjacent and opposite magic specialities
* Researching spells
* M.P. charging and using [[Spells]] and [[Items]]
* Running, dispelling and tracking [[enchantments]]
* The concept of [[Armageddon]]

= WAR =
[[Groentje Players Manual Ch6|Chapter 6]] deals with the battle aspects of the game.
* It explains [[attack limitation]], [[protection]] and [[counter systems]] in the game.
* It discusses the types of combat and gives clues for understanding battle results.
* The principles of [[stack modifiers]], [[initiative]], [[accuracy]] are explained.
* It ends with aspects of player-player interaction and social aspects that have developed within the player community.

= SOOTHSAYER =
[[Groentje Players Manual Ch7|Chapter 7]] decribes the SOOTHSAYER part of the main menu. It deals with:
* Ranklists, the Chronicle, the Arena and the Encyclopedia.
* The working of the [[Black Market]] and the [[GodFavour|Altar of Darkness]]
It briefly explains [[Heroes]].

= DIPLOMACY AND SOCIETY =
[[Groentje Players Manual Ch8|Chapter 8]] deals with the Diplomacy and Society sections of the main menu.
* It discusses allies and guilds (why to seek them and join them)
* It explains the guild management functions.
* It includes the [[Supporting Guild Features]]

= SKILLS =
This section is not written yet. Will be [[Groentje Players Manual Ch9|Chapter 9]] one day, perhaps --- for now: see [[skills]].

= MISCELLANEOUS =
[[Groentje Players Manual Ch10|Chapter 10]] deals with the cemetery, the decalogue, and the UBB board.
Come to speak of it, this wiki should also be mentioned there!

(-: We're glad to inform you this was the final chapter :-)
The entire development team of The Reincarnation and their helpers wish you good luck and fun playing!

= HOW TO START =
To play ‘The Reincarnation’, you need to be connected to the internet and have a web-browser open (e.g. Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Opera, Safari, Firefox).

== Creating a The Reincarnation account ==
* First surf to http://www.the-reincarnation.com
* Then click the 'Register an account' link, to get access to our forum and our game servers
** You will need a working email-address and click a link in an email to activate your account
** The account gives you access to your mages, but also our forum 'the UBB'. The account name is also known as the '''UBB account'''.
** Choose a name that is not insulting, sexist, racist or otherwise offensive.
** If you are the only person using your computer, why not set it to remember your TR password.
** [[Groentje_Players_Manual_Ch10#The Reincarnation's Bulletin Boards|Chapter 10]] has a section explaining on our forum.

=== Account Creation Trouble ===

* Carefully check your email inbox. In the text of the email that TR send you, there is a link. You have to click that link to activate your account. Thereafter you can use your login and password combination, to log in at any time.

* If you remain unable to activate your account: contact the admins [http://www.the-reincarnation.com/contact.php by email].
** Use the same email that you used for your Account creation.
** Admins only answer to known email-adresses.
** Do not forget to mention the approximate time that you created your account.

* If your account worked, but suddenly doesn't anymore: contact the admins [http://www.the-reincarnation.com/contact.php by email].
** It is possible that admins disabled your access because you broke rules of conduct on the forum or cheated in the game, or because you are mistaken to have done so.

== Creating a New Mage ==
=== Pick your server(s) ===
* After you got access to the forum, go to the main page and create a mage on your server(s) of choice.
** You may want to bookmark our main page as one of your favourites, because you’ll need to login at this page each time you decide to play your mage in the future.
** The GUILD server is the best environment for new players nowadays.
** The SOLO server is particularly suited for returning veterans who want to brush up their skills and test out how TR evolved since they retired.
** The ARCH server is great for players who like a slower game, focusing more on stacking and strategy as the strongest spells and units are not present on this server.

* A new mage is created by giving it a name and selecting a color.
** You can only have one mage on each server.
** You can play one mage on each servers.
** All your mages are tied to your single TR-account (UBB-account).
*** Admins monitor for players with multiple UBB accounts and multiple mages on a server.
*** Such is considered cheating and associated accounts are deactivated and removed.
** Note that the rules of TR, the so-called [[Decalogue]] are flashed when you reincarnate your mage.
*** The game rules are on display on each game server (in the Great Council section), in this [[Decalogue|wiki]] and [http://www.the-reincarnation.com/viewtopic.php?t=14200 on the UBB forum]

=== Magename and Magenumber ===
* Because your mage is connected to your general account, you only need to choose a mage name and a mage speciality.
** You will not be able to change your mage name in the game, so choose carefully (and note Decalogue statement on foul language).
** You can decide to have mage name the same as your UBB account (very proud) or a different mage name (more anonymous).

* You’ll also receive your mage number, unique to you, that is an additional identifier in the game.
** You cannot change that number.

=== Only One Mage per Player per Server! ===

'''Important''': Players are supposed to play only one mage on a server (see the [[Decalogue]]). Creating a second account to reincarnate extra mages while you still have an old one is considered cheating (‘multi-maging’) and will result in deletion of both mages and all but one accounts (if not all accounts). Players are allowed to play mages on each server, but one per server only.'''

=== Sharing a computer ===

'''Important:''' If you share a computer with another player or other players - in most circumstances each of you can play the game, BUT you will have to inform the developers/admin team about your shared connection situation. Hereto, there is a 'Multi-account registration' link for each server, e.g. found in the Council of the Emperor screen in the game.
This information can be found on each of the servers: [http://guild.the-reincarnation.com/main/multireg.html Guild] | [http://arch.the-reincarnation.com/main/multireg.html Arch] | [http://solo.the-reincarnation.com/main/multireg.html Solo] | [http://beta.the-reincarnation.com/main/multireg.html Beta]

* If you do not inform the developers, your accounts will be considered to violate gaming rules ('multi-maging').
* You can read [http://www.the-reincarnation.com/viewtopic.php?p=230372 this 'FAQ on when to register']. It deals with most situations regarding sharing computers.

== Playing your Mage ==
Every time you decide it is time to play your mage - whether once every few days, once a day, a couple of times per day - you'll find yourself surfing to our website and entering Terra through the gates of the server.

'''Note that players are supposed to play only their own mage (see the Decalogue). Checking, playing, maintaining or inheriting someone else his mage, even on the owners request, is considered cheating and will result in account deletion.'''

=== Log In ===
'''The quickest login''' is through [http://www.the-reincarnation.com The Reincarnation's portal page]. That way you can even glance at some information on your mage and decide if you have to log in or not.
* If you have saved the password on your computer, you just surf to http://www.the-reincarnation.com and click and play.
* If you are playing from a new computer or a public computer, you have to login to [http://www.the-reincarnation.com www.the-reincarnation.com] to be able to play your mage:
** Enter your mage name and password exactly as you originally specified
** Check CapsLock if login fails; passwords and account names are case sensitive.

=== Alternative Log In ===
When the server of '''www.the-reincarnation.com''' is down for some unfortunate reason, you can use alternative log in links. There is one for each server. See the [[Groentje Players Manual Ch2#Troubleshooting|the troubleshooting section]] below.

=== Log Out ===
* On shared computers, you should log out from the portal page after you are done playing.
** You can bring up [http://www.the-reincarnation.com www.the-reincarnation.com] and see if you are logged out correctly at the top of your screen.
* If it is just you using your computer for The Reincarnation: don't bother about logging out:
** just close your browser window when you have had enough of it.

== Web navigation in ‘The Reincarnation’ ==
The Reincarnation is a web-based game, that you play using your web browser. '''Take notice that once retrieved, game pages do not update themselves.''' Not having up-to-date information has proven disastrous for many mages, so be aware of this when using browsers buttons like ‘back’ and ‘forward’. You can use the ‘Refresh’/‘Reload’ button to retrieve an updated game page (e.g. your ‘main menu’ or your ‘status report’). Again, be aware, because in some cases this may make you repeat a previous action by accident. If you want to pop-up a game page in a separate window, you can try pressing the ‘shift’-key while you click on a link (e.g. your status report or a rank screen). Navigating from page to page is most straightforward just using the links on The Reincarnations web pages itself, avoiding your browser's features.

=== The First 120 Turns ===
A new mage is protected from hostility for the first 120 [[turns]]. This gives newly reincarnated characters a chance to develop their initial land and fortify their kingdom. During these first 120 turns there are some restrictions to in-game activities: the mage can start summoning troops and after turn 60 also start recruiting troops, but is unable to attack other kingdoms and may not buy on the Black Market. Neither can a mage offer/accept an alliance or join a guild and be attacked by other mages in any way.

To set new players on the right track when starting to play the game, The Reincarnation provides [[Beginner%27s_guides|dedicated WIKI pages]]. They give suggestions on how to spend the first 120 turns, and help you familiarise with the game controls, while preparing you somewhat for the unprotected game play after turn 120.

== Troubleshooting ==
If you have trouble logging in to The Reincarnation, while other web pages can be accessed like always, it is possible that The Reincarnation's servers are very busy and unable to support more players at the moment. You should continue attempting to log in until you succeed or you wait for a while and try again after some time. This is an imperfect world, and from time to time our servers will be down. The volunteer developers/admin team is generally alerted to this almost as soon as it happens, and will work to have the servers up and running as soon as possible if trouble occurs.

===Alternative ways to Log In===
In the rare case that www.the-reincarnation.com is down, you can try to login through
* [http://guild.the-reincarnation.com Guild Server directly] - ''use your TR portal name (=UBB name), not your mage name''
* [http://app.the-reincarnation.com App server directly] - ''use your TR portal name (=UBB name), not your mage name''
* [http://solo.the-reincarnation.com Solo server directly] - ''use your TR portal name (=UBB name), not your mage name''
* [http://blitz.the-reincarnation.com Blitz server directly] - ''use your TR portal name (=UBB name), not your mage name''
* [http://beta.the-reincarnation.com Beta server directly] - ''use your TR portal name (=UBB name), not your mage name''

===Account deactivated===
Our administrators can decide to reject access to our servers - usually when you are suspected from breaking game rules, such as 'only play one mage on each server'. Email is the only remaining way of contacting the admins.

===Your entry has expired===
You may receive a message reading ‘Your entry has expired’ every now and then when you are playing the game. This indicates that your 'cookie' information has expired, which effectively means you are logged out. You can simply log in again and thereby refresh the 'cookie'. Generally, this message will only appear once in while, when you are online for a long time. Occasionally you will receive this message several times, indicating that the server is too busy for you to be able to re-enter. In this case you should try to log in at a later time.

= HOW TO START =
To play ‘The Reincarnation’, you need to be connected to the internet and have a web-browser open (e.g. Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Opera, Safari, Firefox).

== Creating a The Reincarnation account ==
* First surf to http://www.the-reincarnation.com
* Then click the 'Register an account' link, to get access to our forum and our game servers
** You will need a working email-address and click a link in an email to activate your account
** The account gives you access to your mages, but also our forum 'the UBB'. The account name is also known as the '''UBB account'''.
** Choose a name that is not insulting, sexist, racist or otherwise offensive.
** If you are the only person using your computer, why not set it to remember your TR password.
** [[Groentje_Players_Manual_Ch10#The Reincarnation's Bulletin Boards|Chapter 10]] has a section explaining on our forum.

=== Account Creation Trouble ===

* Carefully check your email inbox. In the text of the email that TR send you, there is a link. You have to click that link to activate your account. Thereafter you can use your login and password combination, to log in at any time.

* If you remain unable to activate your account: contact the admins [http://www.the-reincarnation.com/contact.php by email].
** Use the same email that you used for your Account creation.
** Admins only answer to known email-adresses.
** Do not forget to mention the approximate time that you created your account.

* If your account worked, but suddenly doesn't anymore: contact the admins [http://www.the-reincarnation.com/contact.php by email].
** It is possible that admins disabled your access because you broke rules of conduct on the forum or cheated in the game, or because you are mistaken to have done so.

== Creating a New Mage ==
=== Pick your server(s) ===
* After you got access to the forum, go to the main page and create a mage on your server(s) of choice.
** You may want to bookmark our main page as one of your favourites, because you’ll need to login at this page each time you decide to play your mage in the future.
** The GUILD server is the best environment for new players nowadays.
** The SOLO server is particularly suited for returning veterans who want to brush up their skills and test out how TR evolved since they retired.
** The ARCH server is great for players who like a slower game, focusing more on stacking and strategy as the strongest spells and units are not present on this server.
** TR-addicts play all servers. You may play the same colour (wise for newbies) or different colours (challenging) on each server.
* A new mage is created by giving it a name and selecting a color.
** You can only have one mage on each server.
** You can play one mage on each servers.
** All your mages are tied to your single TR-account (UBB-account).
*** Admins monitor for players with multiple UBB accounts and multiple mages on a server.
*** Such is considered cheating and associated accounts are deactivated and removed.
** Note that the rules of TR, the so-called [[Decalogue]] are flashed when you reincarnate your mage.
*** The game rules are on display on each game server (in the Great Council section), in this [[Decalogue|wiki]] and [http://www.the-reincarnation.com/viewtopic.php?t=14200 on the UBB forum]

=== Magename and Magenumber ===
* Because your mage is connected to your general account, you only need to choose a mage name and a mage speciality.
** You will not be able to change your mage name in the game, so choose carefully (and note Decalogue statement on foul language).
** You can decide to have mage name the same as your UBB account (very proud) or a different mage name (more anonymous).

** You cannot change that number.
