⚡ THE REINCARNATION – QUICK START GUIDE

Platform: All Server Level: Basic

The Reincarnation is a classic web-based strategy MMORPG where you step into the robes of a powerful Mage. In a world defined by "turns" and tactical depth, you must manage a fantasy kingdom, expand your magical influence, and build formidable armies. Whether through diplomacy or devastating spellcraft and sieges, your goal is simple: outlast your rivals and ascend to the top of the Hall of Fame.

1. 🌐 Pick a Server

Choose a server based on your preferred pace and playstyle:

Server Features
Guildwar No AI mages, 1 turn every 7 minutes, 200-turn storage, Oversummoning allowed
Blitz AI mages, 1 turn every 2.5 minutes, 400-turn storage, Oversummoning not allowed
Arch No ultimate spells or units, 1 turn every 8 minutes, 180-turn storage, Oversummoning allowed
Solo Mage names and IDs hidden, 1 turn every 7 minutes, 200-turn storage, Oversummoning not allowed
Lightning Increased turn rate and storage, 1 turn every 1.5 minutes, 500-turn storage, Oversummoning allowed
Beta Unstable testing server, settings vary

2. 🎨 Choose a Color (Magic Type)

Your color determines your magical affinity. Pick one that matches your preferred strategy:

Color Description
⚪ Ascendent Holy and defensive magic. Strong healing and protective spells, balanced units, and divine creatures. Good for steady play and new players.
🟢 Verdant Nature-based magic that harnesses animals, elves, and treefolks. Flexible playstyle with both defensive and offensive options; resilient and adaptable.
🔴 Eradication Destructive magic built around fire, dragons, and chaos. Strong offensive focus with powerful damaging units, best for aggressive players.
⚫ Nether Dark arcane magic that summons demons and undead. Powerful but costly — often consuming population and mana, making it more challenging for new players.
🔵 Phantasm Psychic and illusion magic with versatile spell options and many elemental summons. Can be played defensively or offensively, but is more complex to master.
