Question: /* Phantasm {{Blue}} */

{{spellnav}}

Spells are the bread and butter of The Reincarnation. They are used for a variety of purposes: summoning units, casting offensive and defensive enchantments both in battle and out of battle, allocation of resources, and more. The spells in the spell book are seen as one a basic [[resources|resource]] for each mage, because the amount of spells that you have, determines your basic spell level. Once acquired, you'll never lose the spell and never lower basic spell level, as long as you keep your mage alive.

Each color can learn their own [[:Category:Simple Spells|Simple]], [[:Category:Average Spells|Average]], [[:Category:Complex Spells|Complex]], [[:Category:Ultimate Spells|Ultimate]] and [[:Category:Ancient Spells|Ancient]] spells. They can learn their own adjacent color's [[:Category:Simple Spells|Simple]], [[:Category:Average Spells|Average]], and [[:Category:Complex Spells|Complex]] spells, and finally can learn their opposite color's Simple and Average spells. Phantasm is the exception: they can learn every color's Simple, Average, and Complex spells, so their [[spell level]] is the highest of all the colors. [[:Category:Ancient Spells|Ancient]] spell scrolls are hard to learn for adjacent and opposite colors - but spell level helps. Admins have their own set of [[:Category:Admin Spells|spells]], and so [[:Category:God Spells|have the Gods]].

<table width=66% align="Center"><tr>
<td>[[Image:spectrum.jpg]]</td>
<td>Each color has two adjacent and opposite colors, which you can imagine as adjacent and opposite points of the pentegram diagram below, or as the diagrams to the side, looped.</td>
<td>[[Image:spectrum.jpg]]</td>
</tr></table>

{{PentagramWithoutPlain}}

[[GodFavour|Gods]] and [[Skills]] and the [[Black Market]] can add some extra spell level. Every color's Simple, Average, Complex spells are available on the [[Black Market]] under [[Exotic Mageware]]. This is one of two places [[:Category:Ancient Spells|Ancient]] spells can be learned; the other method is from using specific Unique [[items]] that have a fixed percentage chance of allowing your mage to learn an [[:Category:Ancient Spells|Ancient]] spell. Bidding on the spells on the [[Black Market]] is a guaranteed way to learn the spell if you have the highest bid, while the [[Unique Items]] carry a risk of destroying your entire [[mana]] reserve.

<center><table>
<tr><td colspan=4><b>Mana cost for spell casting</b></td></tr>
<tr><td> </td><td>Spell Type</td><td>On-Colour</td><td>Adjacent Colour</td><td>Opposite Colour</td></tr>
<tr><td> </td><td>Simple</td><td>100%</td><td>125%</td><td>200%</td></tr>
<tr><td> </td><td>Average</td><td>100%</td><td>150%</td><td>350%</td></tr>

</table></center>
Casting adjacent and off-color spells is more [[mana]] costly than on-color, especially for off-color complex spells. Casting the spell of off-color spells further carries a risk of failure, depending on the complexity of the spell. If the casting fails, turns and mana and are consumed without benefit. Opposite color casting carries a greater risk of failure than adjacent color casting. The risk of failure increases with the complexity of the spell. It decreases with [[Spell Level]]. Failure rate can be further reduced by the [[:Category:Phantasm Spells|Phantasm]] enchantment {{blue}} [[Concentration]]. [[Concentration]] also reduces research time for spells (for all colors) and increases off-color summoning yields (for Phantasm mages).

Question: /* Phantasm {{Blue}} */

{{spellnav}}

Spells are the bread and butter of The Reincarnation. They are used for a variety of purposes: summoning units, casting offensive and defensive enchantments both in battle and out of battle, allocation of resources, and more. The spells in the spell book are seen as one a basic [[resources|resource]] for each mage, because the amount of spells that you have, determines your basic spell level. Once acquired, you'll never lose the spell and never lower basic spell level, as long as you keep your mage alive.

Each color can learn their own [[:Category:Simple Spells|Simple]], [[:Category:Average Spells|Average]], [[:Category:Complex Spells|Complex]], [[:Category:Ultimate Spells|Ultimate]] and [[:Category:Ancient Spells|Ancient]] spells. They can learn their own adjacent color's [[:Category:Simple Spells|Simple]], [[:Category:Average Spells|Average]], and [[:Category:Complex Spells|Complex]] spells, and finally can learn their opposite color's Simple and Average spells. Phantasm is the exception: they can learn every color's Simple, Average, and Complex spells, so their [[spell level]] is the highest of all the colors. [[:Category:Ancient Spells|Ancient]] spell scrolls are hard to learn for adjacent and opposite colors - but spell level helps. Admins have their own set of [[:Category:Admin Spells|spells]], and so [[:Category:God Spells|have the Gods]].

<table width=66% align="Center"><tr>
<td>[[Image:spectrum.jpg]]</td>
<td>Each color has two adjacent and opposite colors, which you can imagine as adjacent and opposite points of the pentegram diagram below, or as the diagrams to the side, looped.</td>
<td>[[Image:spectrum.jpg]]</td>
</tr></table>

{{PentagramWithoutPlain}}

[[GodFavour|Gods]] and [[Skills]] and the [[Black Market]] can add some extra spell level. Every color's Simple, Average, Complex spells are available on the [[Black Market]] under [[Exotic Mageware]]. This is one of two places [[:Category:Ancient Spells|Ancient]] spells can be learned; the other method is from using specific Unique [[items]] that have a fixed percentage chance of allowing your mage to learn an [[:Category:Ancient Spells|Ancient]] spell. Bidding on the spells on the [[Black Market]] is a guaranteed way to learn the spell if you have the highest bid, while the [[Unique Items]] carry a risk of destroying your entire [[mana]] reserve.

<center><table>
<tr><td colspan=4><b>Mana cost for spell casting</b></td></tr>
<tr><td> </td><td>Spell Type</td><td>On-Colour</td><td>Adjacent Colour</td><td>Opposite Colour</td></tr>
<tr><td> </td><td>Simple</td><td>100%</td><td>125%</td><td>200%</td></tr>
<tr><td> </td><td>Average</td><td>100%</td><td>150%</td><td>350%</td></tr>
<tr><td> </td><td>Complex</td><td>100%</td><td>200%</td><td>600%</td></tr>
<tr><td> </td><td>Ultimate</td><td>100%</td><td colspan=2>not possible</td></tr>
<tr><td> </td><td>Ancient</td><td>100%</td><td>112.5%</td><td>200%</td></tr>
</table></center>
Casting adjacent and off-color spells is more [[mana]] costly than on-color, especially for off-color complex spells. Casting the spell of off-color spells further carries a risk of failure, depending on the complexity of the spell. If the casting fails, turns and mana and are consumed without benefit. Opposite color casting carries a greater risk of failure than adjacent color casting. The risk of failure increases with the complexity of the spell. It decreases with [[Spell Level]]. Failure rate can be further reduced by the [[:Category:Phantasm Spells|Phantasm]] enchantment {{blue}} [[Concentration]]. [[Concentration]] also reduces research time for spells (for all colors) and increases off-color summoning yields (for Phantasm mages).

Illusionist

2010-03-17T12:48:26Z

Question: /* Summary */

{{Heronav}}
<br>
The Illusionist's skill is in tricks of the mind, and perception. Undoubtedly the most mischievous of any of the wizard classes, the illusionist can weave powerful psychic spells causing serious brain damage, while protecting his allies from such attacks. Powerful illusionists can even create huge monsters to appear right before your very eyes.
{|
|Magic Speciality: ||{{blue}}
|-
|Attribute: ||MERCENARY
|-
|Race: ||MINDRIPPER
|-
|Gender: ||MALE
|-
|Attack Power: ||5000 + 2500*level
|-
|Attack Type: ||RANGED PSYCHIC
|-
|Counter Attack: ||-
|-
|Hitpoints: ||1600 + 800*level
|-
|Upkeep Costs: ||50 + 5*level m.p. 1000 + 1000*level gold
|-
|Abilities: ||[[Mind Blast]] (9), [[Mind Shield]] (14), [[Illusion]] (18)
|}

==Mind Blast==
*Deals 20k/lvl PSYCHIC damage to one random enemy stack. Is a Phantasm spell thus can be resisted.

==Mind Shield==
* Increases all your units' PSYCHIC resistance by 5% + 1%/lvl.

==Illusion==
Creates a stack of illusionary units worth 200k NP/lvl. The illusion stack contains the same type of units as one of your real stacks chosen at random, and can be affected by spells, items, and abilities in the same manner as real stacks. The illusion stack will attack and cause damage like a real stack. The illusion stack is never commanded by a hero, and does not count towards total army power or total power loss. This ability is extremely powerful.

==Summary==
The Illusionist doesn't have all that much going for it at low levels. They have low health, relatively low attack and don't have many abilities. Their [[Mind Shield]] protects against only a small number of psychic units, who besides Mind Rippers and Unholy Reavers, simply aren't that powerful or common. Their [[Mind Blast]] power does relatively little damage and can be resisted. They do have the benefit of being rather cheap, however. If they are leading a group of Mind Rippers they will also give it an [[efficiency]] bonus, and Mind Rippers also happen to be one of the most damaging units in the game.

At higher levels, the Illusionist becomes extremely powerful and could be a truly potent weapon. At lvl 20, it can create an extra 15 Dominions or 12 Titans for instance. This can be especially deadly at lower ranks and for [[catfisher]]s where such a boost in net power could be a large percentage increase.

Low level Illusionists are only bought to lead Mind Ripper stacks, high level (16 or 17) Illusionists on the other hand command a very high price.

Farms

Question:

{{Navigation}}
Produces food (500) for your [[population]]. You need decent number of farmlands to support your growing [[population]].

Also provides 100 residential space for your pop.

In order to match food production with max population provided by towns/farms, a 2.5 ratio of farms to towns is advised. With 299 workshops, you can build 7 towns and 18 farms in one turn, which is fairly close.

10 towns = 10k max pop <br>
25 farms = 2.5k max pop + 12.5k food

==Destroying Enemy Farms==
The options to destroy enemy Farms are:

Attacks:
* [[Pillage]]
* [[Siege]],[[Regular]]

Enchantments, Spells
* [[Death and Decay]], [[Meteor Storm]],
* [[Volcano Eruption]]
*[[Summon Locust Swarm]]
Decreases food production of farms with a very expensive mana upkeep, and therefore making the targeted mage's population suffer to some extent. Not a very powerful enchantment but the spell upkeep itself is a bit of a trouble. Reduces, does not destroy.

Unique Items
* [[Atomic Bomb]]

In order to match food production with max population provided by towns/farms, a 2.5 ratio of farms to towns is advised. With 299 workshops, you can build 7 towns and 18 farms in one turn, which is fairly close.

10 towns = 10k max pop
25 farms = 2.5k max pop + 12.5k food

==Destroying Enemy Farms==
The options to destroy enemy Farms are:

Attacks:
* [[Pillage]]
* [[Siege]],[[Regular]]

Enchantments, Spells
* [[Death and Decay]], [[Meteor Storm]],
* [[Volcano Eruption]]
*[[Summon Locust Swarm]]
Decreases food production of farms with a very expensive mana upkeep, and therefore making the targeted mage's population suffer to some extent. Not a very powerful enchantment but the spell upkeep itself is a bit of a trouble. Reduces, does not destroy.

Shaman

2010-03-13T13:49:07Z

Question: /* Channeling */

{{Heronav}}
<br>
The Shaman is a mage who has long found that the serenity of the forest is superior to the chaos of 'civilization'. As such, she understands plant life. Some have spent so much time with treefolk that they developed plantlike features and can command them to do their bidding. The most ancient Shamans can drain magic power from Nature.
{|
|Magic Speciality: ||{{green}}
|-
|Attribute: ||MERCENARY

|Race: ||TREEFOLK
|-
|Gender: ||FEMALE
|-

|-

|-
|Abilities: ||[[Plant Control]] (14), [[Channeling]] (16), [[Wall of Thorn]] (18)
|}

==Plant Control==
Increases Primary and Counter AP of all your Treefolk Units by 5%/lvl. This bonus adds linearly to the effects of Plant Growth. E.G. If plantgrowth adds +200% AP to your Treefolk, level 1 Plant Control will add +205% in total.

==Channeling==
*Increases MP income by 2% + 1%/lvl.

The main reason non-greens buy the hero, increase in mana upkeep is highly valuable, but take into account the Shaman requires mana upkeep by itself. A level 17 Shaman would increase mana income by 4% but require 220 mana, in order to make a profit, you would need a base mana income of at least 4.5k/turn. Take into account the gold upkeep as well.

==Wall of Thorn==
Reduces initiative of one random enemy stack by 1. Deals 4k + 2k/lvl POISON damage to the affected stack. Is a Verdant spell thus can be resisted, however verdant spell resistance is fairly rare. Seems to be weighted to target larger stacks in preference to smaller ones.

==Summary==
Generally bought either to increase efficiency of trees or increase MP income. Commands a high price on the market.

Enchantress

2010-03-13T09:04:05Z

Question: /* Enchant Weapon */

{{Heronav}}
<br>
Enchantress is an elven woman who is skilled in nature magic. They spend most of their lifes serving simple magics to their people, but at times of war they can employ their powers to enchant weapons, making them more deadly in the battle.

|-
|Upkeep Costs: ||50 + 5*level m.p. 1000 + 1000*level gold
|-
|Abilities: ||[[Enchant Weapon]] (14), [[Enchant Item]] (18)
|}

==Enchant Weapon==
Increases Accuracy, Primary and Counter AP of one of your random stacks by +5% and + 1%/lvl. Is [[weighted]].

==Enchant Item==
Generates lesser items. The generation rate is independent of the number of Guilds. Items are generated approx once every 20-40 turns at skill level 1.

==Summary==
High level Enchantresses command a very high price as it is one of the few ways to increase accuracy and increasing item generation. However as the first ability is gotten at level 14, Enchantresses below level 14 on the market have next to no value. Enchantresses will lead Elves in preference to other stacks, however the other elven stacks are weak barracks units.

World Peace

2010-03-12T08:43:37Z

Question:

[[Unique Items|Unique Item]]

[[Category:Items]] [[Category:Unique Items]]

//Someone please fix this article to sound like less gibberish.

Are you a white or a green?Do you love geld?Hate war? then this the item you needed most.

World peace will make your people rich and make tons of geld for you.you will see an increase of 40% in geld in your kindoms.Who care for the rest of the effect as long as they give alot of geld and no mana upkeep.

Best for people who want ton of heros.This is a must buy item if you see it in a black market.If you dont like to have tons of heros mabe tons of other spell and make yourr spell level 600++ does that satify your thirst for power.

overall a Grade AAA++ item .

with 2500 land a white with love and peace can get 1500000 geld or more per turn.If you dont understand 1500000 geld per turn. I will explain it clearly here.It is 1.5 million ged without using the gelding fuction.so if you use your turn to geld you are likely to get 3 million geld a turn.for a 7000 land they dont even get 1 million geld a turn consider that they have to maintain their huge expensive army that are geld consuming.it is ususally the one with ver very huge land can have 3 million geld a turn.Usually the top ten.So do not belittle 1.5 million geld a turn as it will took you hell to get that amount.

Use this stack

Love and peace
protect from evil

At first buy a illusionist hero.And use AA as defend until your illusionisy reach level 18.

After he reach level 18,use peacher only.

Your illusionist peacher will be on the first stack and your second stack is your real peacher.

Use the spell healing and booth of protection.
why brooth of protection?as the real thing that ready kill a peacher is treant stack booth of protection will negative the effect of rush armour and stun.

healing can heal thousand of peacher.

I have over a few hundreds battle, more than 70% of the time i got all my peacher heal back.

If able buy the summoner also.

and the squire and the illusionist stack will act as the first and second stack.

With this stack over a few hundreds of battle i encounter .1 only loss less than 5%.

the most important thing is my mana upkepp for my unit is less than 500.So what i do is i rase most of the mana building and build farm and farm and farm all the way.I love to be a farmer.

After 2 month of waiting hehehe, i have most of the hero and spell ready to rock muhahahhahahaha.

illusionist if you know how to use them well you can seigh people that have higher army than you and yet win their land.I got 70% winning rate with it.

Overall this technique is not suitable for people who love kamakazi, raze ,blood lust,war war every day type.As you likely to loss alot of your hero.

-Hamster D COL

NOTE:
Testing with a white mage, August 2008:
This unique will only give you +10% hp on all defenses, but instead of -5% AP1 as this wiki used to say, it will give you +5% (so with base L&P your main attack is reduced by 25% *only*, and you get +40% hp), forgot to add, "If your hands arent bloody".
Also, the +income is of 25% only, not 40%, this works all the time.
IT ONLY WORKS ON DEFENSE.

All of your units' [[Primary Attack|Primary]] and [[Extra Attack]]s are attributed [[initiative]]=6, making it almost sure that your units strike first in a battle (unless opponent uses [[initiative]] influencing magic too). Notes:
* Any unit having an [[initiative]] above 6 (from multiple modifiers) is treated as having [[initiative]] 6 when the battle starts.
* [[Paralyze]] will cancel out the effect of [[Ash of Invisibility]] and vice versa (i.e. invisible paralysed unit will have its original initiative; no init=0 nor init=6).
* In case of Attacker and Defender use [[Ash of Invisibility]] (and no other [[initiative]] modifiers are used) both sides starts their attacks with highest [[initiative]]. It causes the battle to start with attacks of the top stacks while the first hitter is selected at random. Then the scenario repeats for next stacks which are chosen from the highest to the lowest ones.

Black Market

2010-03-12T07:55:36Z

Question: /* Bidding */

The [[Black Market]] is ''the'' place to spend geld in Terra, if you think you have too much of it.

As the server moves on and many mages look for goodies on the black market, prices inflate especially on the [[turns|faster servers]]. This means that mages that want rare items from the black market, need to concentrate on getting more than usual ammounts of [[Geld]], a dedication also known as [[Whoring]].

Anyway, this is how the [[Black Market]] works:
* [[Items]] can be sold and bought in the [[Antique Store]] of the [[Black Market]].
** If you sell a [[Items|Lesser Item]], you receive the current base price of the item (shown on Sell Page), plus a little bit more
** If you sell a [[Unique Items|Unique]], you receive its base price + about 60% of the overbid. [http://www.the-reincarnation.com/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=22103 UBB thread]
* [[Heroes]] only be hired (not traded) in the [[Tavern of Heroes]] section
* [[Spells]] can only be bought (not trade) in the [[Exotic Mageware]] section.
** This includes rare [[:category:Ancient Spells|Ancient spells]], but excludes the speciality-unique [[:category:Ultimate Spells|ultimate spells]].
* Summonable [[Units]] can be bought (not traded) in the [[Spawning Hatchery]]
** This excludes the speciality-unique [[:category:Ultimates|ultimate units]].
* [[:category:Mercenaries|Mercenary Units]] can be hired through [[Swords for Hire]].
** These units are only available this way.
* At the [[Altar of Darkness]], devoted mages can buy themselves [[God Favour|favours of Gods]].

<center>-- see also [[Groentje Players Manual Ch7#Bidding in general|Players Manual section on bidding]] -- </center>
= Bidding =
Stuff that you buy on the Black Market, you buy in a flogging. You never know before if your bid will win you the item - it is always possible it is overbid. Pay attention when buying: be sure you bid on the correct item and you enter the correct amount that you wish to bid. You cannot cancel a bid you have made!

* When you place a bid, an amount of geld is taken from your storage.
* The next bid should be at least 5% of the old bid.
* Placing a bid takes one [[turns|turn]] (regardless on how many items you do bid) and causes small net power loss.

* Other mages on the server are given 30 minutes to attempt to outbid you.
* If you are outbid you will receive an in-game informing message offering you to quickly re-establish a higher bid.
* Meanwhile, the amount of your original bid is returned to your storage.
** Net power returns some time after the money is returned, to prevent others from spotting you bidding.

* If your bid wins the goodies, you’ll receive a confirming message and will find them in your inventory.

*Starting bid price goes up/down depending on how many people bid on it as the set goes on.

==Pre Orders==
* You can set 'pre-orders', this will make an assistant bid a set price for a given item. When it becomes available, if you have turns and geld, no matter whether you are online or not.
** This setting is temporarily disabled when you are under harmfull enchantments (e.g. [[Temporal Stasis Field]]; [[Meteor Storm]]; [[Death and Decay]]; [[Frozen Hell]]; [[Fury of God]])

==Extended display time==
* When new [[Heroes]], [[Unique Items]], [[Spells]] and [[Units]] appear on the market, they stay in the market for at least 2.5 hours.
** Thereafter they are sold, 30 minutes after the winning bid.
***If nobody buys an item that you put on the market, it gets "sold" after 3 hours anyway and you still receive money(tested on arch, March 2010).

''Note: This feature has been enabled/disabled from time to time (developers are trying to make up their mind ;) )''

=Typical Questions=
==Too many [[Mercenaries]]!!!==
'''Be warned:''' Troops that you hire this way, occupy population space.
* Be sure to have sufficient towns to house them and sufficient farms to feed them.
* You'll also need suffient ordinary population or a lot of savings to fulfill their geld upkeep.
* When you hire more people than you can host, on their arrival the mercenaries will refuse to work for you - but too bad, you lost your geld.

==Why buy spells that you can research yourself?==
You may purchase Simple, Average, Complex, and Ancient spells.
* Do not purchase spells that you have already researched, as it will simply be a waste of geld.
* It is rare to find a spell for sale that you are not able to research, but it can be very beneficial to acquire such a spell (because each researched spell increases a mage’s spell level).

==Too many [[Mercenaries]]!!!==
'''Be warned:''' Troops that you hire this way, occupy population space.
* Be sure to have sufficient towns to house them and sufficient farms to feed them.
* You'll also need suffient ordinary population or a lot of savings to fulfill their geld upkeep.
* When you hire more people than you can host, on their arrival the mercenaries will refuse to work for you - but too bad, you lost your geld.

==Why buy spells that you can research yourself?==
You may purchase Simple, Average, Complex, and Ancient spells.
* Do not purchase spells that you have already researched, as it will simply be a waste of geld.
* It is rare to find a spell for sale that you are not able to research, but it can be very beneficial to acquire such a spell (because each researched spell increases a mage’s spell level).

Veteran

2010-03-11T16:57:56Z

Question:

{{Heronav}}
<br>
A survivor of many battles, this soldier knows the tricks of the soldiering trade, and uses them to his every advantage in battle. When put in command of a mercenary unit, the veteran is able to lead it much more effectively than any regular troop.

==Leadership==
*Increases Primary and Counter AP of all your Mercenary units by 5%/lvl.

==Summary==
Essentially the cheapest valor hero to upkeep. Prefers to lead plain human stacks, which are all extremely weak and easy to stackwipe. Leadership only affects mercenary units from the "Swords for hire" tavern, which are also extremely weak. Leadership is only useful when rushing with mercenary units at the start of a set.

Merchant

2010-03-11T16:53:36Z

Question:

{{Heronav}}
<br>
A skilled merchant is one of the greatest types of people to have around if you are in need of a good economy. Able to sell things no one wants and buy those things desired by everyone, the merchant is able to manipulate the economy of your country in various ways.

==Summary==

The amount of cash that a merchant makes may seem small compared to the price you pay - but it comes all the time, no matter if you keep [[towns]] and [[farms]]. This makes your mage invulnerable to death, very nice for mages fighting in the low ranks and during war. Commands a very high price on the market. Unless you expect to war, don't buy it unless there are sufficient turns left before Armageddon for you to make a sizable profit.

Engineer

Question:

{{Heronav}}
<br>
Long hours of hard study and work at a desk have made the engineer rather weak physically, but all the time he has spent is not in vain. The engineer is faced with the most taunting task of anyone, the construction of an entire city. However, the skills of the engineer allow him to direct this task in the most efficient of ways thereby allowing the buildings to be constructed at a much more rapid rate.

Alchemist

2010-03-11T16:49:35Z

Question:

{{NeedsConfirm}}<br><br>{{Heronav}}
<br>
Alchemists are those who are versed in the practice of alchemy. In the beginning, they were only interested in turning metal into gold or extracting juices from plants for medical purposes. It later brought forth the invention of so many wonders, but the secrets of alchemy were lost when the old World was destroyed millennia ago. Recently, the art of alchemy was revived by some mages and soon it became a hit topic among the mages. However, the current alchemy is quite different from the alchemy of the Old World.

==Alchemy==
* Increases [[geld]] income by 6% + 3% / lvl.
* Reduces [[mana|MP income]] by 1% / lvl.

==Summary==
Alchemists, like most non-battle heroes, only start to pay off at higher levels. At low levels, they cost a LOT of m.p. and gain only a little geld. An alchemist drains mana: if you want to test how much, disable the alchemy skill, check your status report for your base mana income, put the alchemy skill back on and check it again. You'll see a difference.

Commands a very high price on the market.

Weighted refers to the way spells/items/abilities select targets. Any spell/item/ability(with the notable exception of one unique that avoids targetting the top stack) that is described as targetting "a random stack" will prefer to target the largest stack, NP wise, instead(usually but not always the top stack).

Witch

2010-03-11T16:46:40Z

Question:

{{Heronav}}
<br>
Merely dabbling in the arts of magic, the Witch's specialty is potions and brews. While not powerful in size and strength, witches can still be somewhat useful in battle, calling upon the dark arts; they can place powerful curses upon your opponents or turn opponents into frogs.

==Polymorph==
*Level 20 witch kills 5k units. This number doesnt take into account hp or resistances. Is a nether spell and can be resisted.
**Only affects barracks units(not even those from the Swords for Hire tavern), which makes it near useless except at the start of a set where people use barracks units en-masse to rush.
***Is [[weighted]], which makes it target summoned units most of the time(unelss someone top stacks Knight Templars)

==Brewing==
*Generates items based on number of guilds. Actual effect unknown, item generation is near impossible to measure.

==Summary==
A very popular hero due to Cursing, which can inflict a large accuracy penalty to one stack. Prefers to lead Dark Elf Magicians, which are almost never used in large numbers and easy to stackwipe.

Dread Knight

Question:

{{NeedsCleanup}}<br><br>
{{Heronav}}
<br>
Awesome in power and strength, the Dread Knight is a force to be feared on the battlefield. Clad in armor the color of the darkest night, and wielding a wicked looking blade, the Dread Knight leads the march of the forces of evil, cutting down everything in his path, as they crush all opposition. On the battlefield, Dead Knights radiate aura of unholiness which protects entire army from holy attacks. Few legendary Dread Knights are so evil that they appear almost invincible and godly, striking terror into hearts of their enemies.

==Unholy Aura==
* Increases all your units' HOLY resistance by 5% + 1%/lvl

==Terror==
*Reduces Accuracy of all enemy units by 1%/lvl.

Highly questionable. Since Accuracy is a hidden attribute, it is difficult to tell for sure.

==Summary==
Dread Knight is a demon, Nether unit with a cold attack and a very high cost. Not only does he have one of the highest geld costs of any hero, but he also costs mana and population (though not much of either). Still, he is a very popular hero in TR because of his [[Terror]] ability, which is one of the few ways to reduce accurary in battle.

Generally leads Unholy Reavers, Demon Knights or Horned Demons. High level Dread Knights go for a very large amount on the market.

Question:

A Crypt Keeper is one of the few humans the undead will allow to approach them, for he has a special place in the legions of the undead. It is the work of the Crypt Keeper, which prevents the ghouls and liches from merely rotting away, and keep the vampires well fed. They posses limited necromancy abilities as well, and are capable of re-animating fallen undeads.

==Summary==
At the start of a set, Sages command a very high price as everyone is attempting to research as fast as possible. After the first few weeks though, low level sages tend to command a low price due to lack of demand(and also appear fairly rarely in the first place). High level sages have an extremely high demand as they are one of two ways to reduce spell casting costs, and [[Spell Mastery]] is a blue skill(penalty for other colors learning it).

2010-03-11T15:38:27Z

Question:

{{Heronav}}
<br>
The Illusionist's skill is in tricks of the mind, and perception. Undoubtedly the most mischievous of any of the wizard classes, the illusionist can weave powerful psychic spells causing serious brain damage, while protecting his allies from such attacks. Powerful illusionists can even create huge monsters to appear right before your very eyes.

|Abilities: ||[[Mind Blast]] (9), [[Mind Shield]] (14), [[Illusion]] (18)
|}

==Mind Blast==
*Deals 20k/lvl PSYCHIC damage to one random enemy stack. Is a Phantasm spell thus can be resisted.

==Mind Shield==
* Increases all your units' PSYCHIC resistance by 5% + 1%/lvl.

==Illusion==
Creates a stack of illusionary units worth 200k NP/lvl. The illusion stack contains the same type of units as one of your real stacks chosen at random, and can be affected by spells, items, and abilities in the same manner as real stacks. The illusion stack will attack and cause damage like a real stack. The illusion stack is never commanded by a hero, and does not count towards total army power or total power loss. This ability is extremely powerful.

==Summary==
The Illusionist doesn't have all that much going for it at low levels. They have low health, relatively low attack and don't have many abilities. Their [[Mind Shield]] protects against only a small number of psychic units, who besides Mind Rippers and Unholy Reavers, simply aren't that powerful or common. Their [[Mind Blast]] power does relatively little damage and can be resisted. They do have the benefit of being rather cheap, however. If they are leading a group of Mind Rippers they will also give it an [[efficiency]] bonus, and Mind Rippers also happen to be one of the most damaging units in the game.

At higher levels, the Illusionist becomes extremely powerful and could be a truly potent weapon. At lvl 20, it can create an extra 15 Dominions or 12 Titans for instance. This can be especially deadly at lower ranks and for [[catfisher]]s where such a boost in net power could be a large percentage increase.

Low level Illusionists are only bought to lead Mind Ripper stacks, high level (16 or 18) Illusionists on the other hand command a very high price.

Bard

2010-03-11T15:32:46Z

Question:

{{Heronav}}
<br>
Unique in their talent, it is the skill of the Bard to weave complex enchantments, not through magic, but through music. Normally residing in inns, and taverns, and easily making a profit, it is rare that a Bard should decide to work for an Archmage, but these are strange times. At times of trouble, they can use their music to inspire warriors before battle, and use their eloquence to gather more recruits for armies.

==Song==
*Increases Primary and Counter AP of all your units by 2% + 1%/lvl.
*Reduces Primary and Counter AP of all enemy units by 2% + 1%/lvl. Is a phantasm spell and can be resisted, phantasm resist is fairly rare though.

Song is a superior version of Valor in that it both increases your AP and reduces the enemy's.

==Charisma==
Increases recruit rate by 4% + 2%/lvl. Not very useful as barrack units are fairly weak and are generally only used to powerup during armageddon.

==Summary==
Bard is a Sprite, Phantasm hero. This means he can command Sprite or Siren stacks and grant them an [[efficiency]] bonus. He also has a ranged Psychic attack, which is fairly good and the hero isn't expensive to maintain.

The fact that he is a Sprite isn't very good, since Sprites/Sirens have a very bad habit of being stackwiped because of their low hp, which can result in your Bard being destroyed. I recommend that if you get a Bard to avoid using those units or stack them in sufficient numbers they won't all be killed.

Bards command a high price on the market due to Song.

Charisma

Question:

{{navigation}}
[[category:hero abilities]]
{{stub}}
Increases recruit rate by 4% + 2%/lvl. Not very useful as barrack units are fairly weak and are generally only used to powerup during armageddon.

supporting evidence:
recruit rate of 816 Militias per turn observed with 68 barracks. This is a 20% increase compared to normal rate.
2 heroes with charisma are active both with level 3 of the ability.
Therefore
2 x ( 4 + 2 x 3) = 20

My numbers from 6/29/09 do not support this formula.
Bard 14 with charisma 1. 10 barracks normally provide 100 militia. Now, it's 103.

White Knight

Question: /* Summary */

{{Heronav}}
<br>
The White Knight is a noble warrior, clad in glistening armor and hailing from the northern regions of ice and snow where even Archmages dare not to travel. White Knights are gallant, and all but fearless in battle. Any man would be proud to serve under the leadership of one of these legends, and many knights come to offer their swords to them. There are legends about White Knights so powerful, they could kill dragon single-handedly.

==Honor==
*Creates 1-9 Knight/turn at lvl 16
*Creates 10-18 Knight/turn at lvl 17

Largely useless, Knights are extremely weak and a White Knight will prefer to lead Knights, so it's a stackwipe waiting to happen.

Vampire Hunter

2010-03-11T15:14:12Z

Question:

{{Heronav}}
<br>
Relentless in their assault on the armies of the undead, Vampire Hunters have been known to track a single vampire for days, without food or rest, just to prove that there is no escape from the final retribution. They are devoted priests and can use their powers to destroy undead creatures with only a prayer. When leading armies, Vampire Hunters can make all troops eradicate undeads more efficiencly. Some most experienced hunters posses knowledge of weaknesses of demonic creatures.

*Increases damage dealt by all of your units to enemy [[Units#races|Undead units]] by 10% + 5%/lvl.

==Demon Hunter==
*Increases damage dealt by your units to enemy Demon units by 10% + 5%/lvl.

==Summary==
Undead units are one of the most commonly used units in the game, many colors use Vampires/Wraiths/Liches/Demon Knights, and zombies/skeletons show up often as fodder in many color's stacks as well. Bought primarily by whites or mages who wish to focus on attacking black. Generally leads Spirit Warriors, or less commonly, Astral Magicians.

Priestess

2010-03-11T15:09:57Z

Question: /* Turn Undead */

{{Heronav}}
<br>
The Priestess is she who has studied the arts of healing, and caring for the sick and dying. Calling upon god for help in her work, the priestess has saved many lives in battle, and someone of her skills is essential to the health of any Archmagi's lands. More experienced Priestesses can use their prayers to destroy undead creatures.

==Healing==
It resurrects 2% + 1% per level; However it always rounds down the number of units resurrected instead of rounding up.

Example:
93 Nymphs are slain during battle. With level 4 healing, 5 Nymphs would resurrected from death. Actual number is 5.58, but instead of rounding up, it rounds up.

So it only resurrects a full whole number of units. I.e., at lvl 1 (3%) of Healing, you need to lose 34 of a unit to gain one back. Which is why it's not often seen resurrecting ultimates.

==Turn Undead==
Deals 5k + 2k/lvl HOLY damage to each enemy Undead stack. However, since Undead are weak to holy, damage is doubled. Note that it is possible for undead to get holy resistance(both spell and unit resistance). In practice, Turn Undead doesnt do a lot of damage.

==Self-Resurrection==
If killed in battle, the hero will come back to the player after 48 hours with a level lost.

==Summary==
High level Priestesses can command a high price, as healed units are not counted as NP lost and can decide the outcome of a battle. Whites will almost always have a Priestess leading Archangels, and with spells/items can cause a extremely high % of units resurrected at the end of a battle. Priestesses will almost always lead Archangels or Angels.

Shieldmaiden

2010-03-11T15:02:30Z

Question:

{{Heronav}}
<br>
The Shieldmaidens are comprised of those women who have lost their mates in battle, and grown tired of watching the endless slaughter of war. Knowing they cannot stop the wars of the great mages, they themselves have taken up arms in an effort to prevent as much bloodshed as possible. When leading armies they organize troops defensive formations. Some maidens know basic priesterly magic and can heal wounded on the battlefield. Most experienced Shieldmaidens posses wide knowledge of war tactics. In presence of such general, entire army can fight with more skill.

Shieldmaiden is a Human, Ascendant hero and thus can lead Knights, Knight Templars, Crusaders, Paladins, Preachers, High Priests and give them an [[efficiency]] bonus. She has a melee attack and is fairly expensive to maintain. She is very popular as a defensive hero. In practice they are usually found leading Knight Templars, as they are the only decent Human barracks unit.

Be careful not to have Shieldmaidens lead preachers from [[Love and Peace]].

High level Shieldmaidens combo fairly well with Priestesses and white healing magic/items.

Calling up many different creatures, the Summoner is much like an apprentice archmage. The summoners of Terra are few and far between, if you should be so fortunate as to enlist one to your army, count yourself lucky, as many a mage will envy you. He can call many small creatures to assist him at battles, and some have enough power to greatly improve other mages summoning abilities.

The squirrel stack is never commanded by a hero, and does not count towards total army power or total power loss.

Tip: The squirrels will be added in at their appropriate place in your stacking as per their power rank, not simply at the bottom. This effectively gives you control over the placement of 11 stacks, if you know where the squirrels will slot in.

==Smmonning==
Increases amount of units summoned by 3% + 3%/lvl. The only way to incrase amount of units summoned other than the skill [[Augment Summoning]].

Most people buy the summoner mainly for the Summoning bonus, which can save a significant amount of turns resummoning units(especially when oversummoning units at the end of a run on Oversummoning servers). Tends to command a very high price on the market. The only unit it can lead are Earth Elementals.

Shepherdess

Question: /* Summary */

{{Heronav}}
<br>
Maintaining a herd is the specialty of this magnificent woman. The sheep she maintains will have many uses in the future when they are full grown and fat. Although shepherdesses are not naturally hostile, they have great power over all kinds of animals and will lead great armies into battle if their sheep are endangered. Most powerful Shepherdesses posses wide knowledge of nature and under their supervision all crops grow twice as fast. See [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDAM5lSPCwk here] for a demonstration of sheep usage.

*With level 5 sheep herding, 220-260 sheep/turn.

==Peace with Nature==
Increases Food Production per Farm by 20 + 10/lvl

==Summary==
The Sheperdess doesn't seem like much, but she is a very popular hero. A mid-level Shepherdess alone can make a person completely immune to pillage attempts because of the vast amount of sheep that are created. It doesn't take any active actions (unlike Total Newbie Handbooks for instance) and sheep are such low net power that even if you have hundreds of thousands of them, if you lose them all in seiges/regulars it's not likely to cost you land.

Unless you are on very low land, you will probably want to stack these 11th (or lower) as they are low init and stackwipe or die en mass easily, thus negating any pillage protection you were hoping to gain. Paradoxically, low land is probably when you need the pillage protection the most, and keeping 11+ stacks could be difficult. Be careful not to have heroes lead your sheep stacks.

High level Sheperdess will also increase the amount of geld you make per turn slightly, as you can save space on farms.

Unless you are on very low land, you will probably want to stack these 11th (or lower) as they are low init and stackwipe or die en mass easily, thus negating any pillage protection you were hoping to gain. Paradoxically, low land is probably when you need the pillage protection the most, and keeping 11+ stacks could be difficult. Be careful not to have heroes lead your sheep stacks.

Question:

{{Heronav}}
<br>
The Shaman is a mage who has long found that the serenity of the forest is superior to the chaos of 'civilization'. As such, she understands plant life. Some have spent so much time with treefolk that they developed plantlike features and can command them to do their bidding. The most ancient Shamans can drain magic power from Nature.

==Plant Control==
Increases Primary and Counter AP of all your Treefolk Units by 5%/lvl. This bonus adds linearly to the effects of Plant Growth. E.G. If plantgrowth adds +200% AP to your Treefolk, level 1 Plant Control will add +205% in total.

==Channeling==
The main reason non-greens buy the hero, increase in mana upkeep is highly valuable, but take into account the Shaman requires mana upkeep by itself. A level 17 Shaman would increase mana income by 4% but require 220 mana, in order to make a profit, you would need a base mana income of at least 4.5k/turn. Take into account the gold upkeep as well.

==Wall of Thorn==
Reduces initiative of one random enemy stack by 1. Deals 4k + 2k/lvl POISON damage to the affected stack. Is a Verdant spell thus can be resisted, however verdant spell resistance is fairly rare. Seems to be weighted to target larger stacks in preference to smaller ones.

==Summary==
Generally bought either to increase efficiency of trees or increase MP income. Commands a high price on the market.
