=Basics=
[[Image:Icongeld.gif]] Geld, also known as gold or money [[Image:Icongeld2.gif]]

Geld is created by the [[population]] in your kingdom. How much geld you generate each [[turns|turn]], depends on the population you have, and what buildings you have put on your land (with emphasis on [[Towns]]). There is no cap to the maximum amount of geld you can accumulate, but you can't have less than zero geld (no loans!).

* Geld is consumed by many army [[units]] and [[heroes]], by [[buildings]], and by going to war ([[war expense]]). Your status report breaks down the total upkeep.
* There are also game features that alter your geld generation. When [[items]], [[heroes]] or [[enchantments]] reduce your geld generation, that is called 'Hidden upkeep'.
* Geld is a pillageable resource.

The formula for base geld-income is:
* Current Pop * (((100 + 10*Town) / Land) ^ 0.5) + 1000
** When [[Geld#Gelding|gelding]], double the amount given by the formula
** When suffering hidden upkeeps, lower the amount by a certain factor (-10% means factor 0.9)
** It uses the population you have at the end of the turn ''(confirmed by marty)''
** with absolutely no pop, you will still get a tiny 1000 geld, and the next turn you will have the base 50 pop and get already more than 1000 geld.

=Game features affecting Geld=
[[:Category:Items|Items]]
* [[Sage Stone]] (lesser item), generates 1-2 million of geld (random amount, always price)
* [[Treasure Chest]] (lesser item) can generate 500k as one of the random results.
* [[Treasure Map]] (lesser item) can generate 300k as one of the random results.
* [[Official List of Demands]] (lesser item) can destroy geld
* [[Letters of the Thieves Guild]] (lesser item) can steal geld
* [[Pipes of the Sewer]] (lesser item) can destroy geld.
* [[Efreeti Bottle]] (unique item) can give a large amount of geld.

* Some Uniques reduce your geld generation (e.g. hidden upkeep)
* Selling any item on the [[Black Market]] returns geld on sale.

[[:Category:Enchantments|Enchantments]]
* [[Nature's Favor]] {{Green}} increases geld generation (10% ??)
* [[Weather Summoning]] {{Green}} increases food production meaning less farms are needed to upkeep same population. Can be used to increase geld, if you not destroy the excess farms.
* [[Battle Chant]] {{Red}} allows Eradication mages (yes, ONLY {{red}} red mages) to steal geld when succesfully [[Siege|SIEGING]].
* [[Love and Peace]] {{White}}
* ''(incomplete)''

[[:Category:Spells|Spells]]
* [[Fool's Gold]] {{Blue}} - steals a large amount of geld from target mage.
* ''(incomplete)''
* [[Wish]] {{Blue}} can give you geld or give you [[Efreeti Bottle]] which can give you geld.

[[:Category:Heroes|Heroes]]
* [[Alchemist]] {{Plain}} ....
* [[Merchant]] {{Plain}} - [[Trading]] increases Geld Income by 20k + 20k/lvl.
* ''(incomplete)''

[[GodFavour|Gods]]
* Nature god favour and most favour increases normal geld generation (by 10% resp. 20%)
* Nature god disfavour and hatred decreases normal geld generation (by 10% resp. 20%)

=Gelding =
Gelding generates geld based on your "Income": it doubles what your normal income is.

* Gelding early in the game is a common strategy to get the funds required to buy a good hero or wanted off-color/ancient spell.
* Optimizing gelding envolves a gentle balance between % of towns on your land, allowing population growth to be maximal all the time, by providing excess space for population all the time. There is a nice tool [[Geld_Optimizer_Applet|that can help you]] optimize your gelding.

=Zero geld=
Zero geld (no positive income for some time, no savings left) is the case of fully depleting your geld, complete stacks of geld consuming units may disband themselves (in random order: you may be able to keep supporting some of your smaller stacks). More dangerous (and ultimately deadly) you may start losing buildings (guilds, workshops, barracks and ultimately forts). In the case of forts: you will lose half of your forts each turn you spend without geld (i.e. you will not die of bankruptcy the next turn, but very well could die within a couple of turns if you don’t take appropriate action).

Marty: /* Some very basic things to know about IRC */

=Internet Relay Chat (IRC)=

IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat. It allows to communicate over networks of servers. People connect to the network as 'clients' using a program on their PC. People who own servers can run IRC serverprograms and setup networks where any person can connect to. TR staff has become that kind of people.

=IRC networks used by TR players=
By the TR's player community, two IRC networks are traditionally used
* since 1997: GalaxyNet [http://www.galaxynet.org] IRC service
:: Server: [irc://irc.galaxynet.org irc.galaxynet.org] and many others | [[Guides#GalaxyNet and TR IRC|Connection setup help]]
:: Main channel for TR players: <nowiki>#reincarnation</nowiki>

* since 2008: The Reincarnation is setting up it's own IRC service.
:: Server: [irc://www.the-reincarnation.com:6697 www.the-reincarnation.com], Port: 6697 | [[IRC mIRC|Connection setup help]]
:: Main channel for TR players: <nowiki>#reincarnation</nowiki>

=Some very basic things to know about IRC=
* names of connected people are known as ''nicks''
:: Typically you want to reserve a permanent name for yourself by registering the nick you are using. So that others may identify who your are from the other users around. Usually nick registration is done through Nickserv. Type the command "/msg nickserv help"
* chatrooms / chatboxes etc. are called ''channels'' on IRC, and have a <nowiki>#</nowiki> in front of their <nowiki>#name</nowiki>.
* channel moderators are called ops/chanops/ChOps , and have an @ prefix on their nicks; or "~" and "&".
:: The "~", "&" and "%" prefixes are modified ChOp prefixes granting more or less channel access. Basically it means they are still ChOps.
:: The "+" nickname prefix means the user is voiced. This is functionally used for "moderated" channels, mostly is it used to signify preferred users.
:: These are common "Channel User" modes. Take note that channel modes, user modes, and Channel User modes are 3 different things.
* some connected nicks are not people but ''bots'', i.e. computer programs. You can give them commands, such as invite me to <nowiki>#mysecretchannel</nowiki>
:: some people like programming their own bots, with varying success. Example: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYQUsp-jxDQ This clip on YouTube]
* if you type in text and press enter... you have chatted
* if you start a chatline with a /, you are giving a command to the IRC server.
:: if the command makes sense and you have the right access levels, it works.
:: otherwise the IRC server will echo back that it did not understand you and points you to help
* On start up, the regular IRC user lets the program perform a series of commands automatically, such as ''identify me'' and ''join my favorite channels''.

=Installing and setting up IRC chatsoftware=
* There are several options, but most players use [http://www.mirc.com mIRC].
:: See the guides [[Guides#GalaxyNet_and_TR_IRC|here]]!

* '''I use mIRC all the time, I just want to connect to the new server'''
:: [[IRC mIRC|See this page for that!]]

* '''I used Galaxynet all the time, I need to know some commands for TR's server'''
:: [[IRC_NickCommands | Nick commands]] for creating a nick and authenticating it 
:: [[IRC_ChanCommands | Channel commands]] for creating a channel and maintaining it

* '''I kinda dont want to download anything though'''
