Knight of Dawn's The Reincarnation Simplified Guide
Contents
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011!!!!! From Knight of Dawn :)
Still under Construction. 31/12/2010 & 01/01/2011
This is a new guide that is up-to-date and more targeted to new players (or maybe even the exisiting player)
I intent to add more advanced stuff such as turn management,war,spell lock, ranking, D abuse, uniques, heroes,guild block, coordinated attacks, RoE, building through spells etc... But it depends on the responds and my time...
I'm kinda curious on what's gonna happen when every single thing becomes transparent and new mages just gonna copy what ever is posted.
Understanding the Colours
 | ||

  |
Look at this Pentagram, there are five colours in total, the two colours beside a chosen colour are the adjacent colours. The remaining non-adjacent colours left on the Pentagram form the opposite colours to your chosen specialty.
Red 
Adjacent Colours:
Pros: Units with high AP Fire based attacks, with resistance reducing spells and synergy with Oil Flask.
Cons: Units with vulnerable holes in resistance such as weakness to Cold attack and lower HP/NP ratio (in exchange for damage). Units with high gold upkeep.
Black 
Adjacent Colours:
Pros: Units with Paralyse,Magic,Cold,Poison based attacks. Units with steal-life,fear & double strike abilities.
Cons: Undisbandable pop-sucking units. Possible pop-spiral if you don't keep a careful watch on your pop. Difficult for new players.
Blue 
Adjacent Colours:
Pros: Access to all complex spells and units with various abilities and attacks. Uses ranged units with magic or psychic attacks.
Cons: Mana-intensive when you're casting off-colour spells.
White 
Adjacent Colours:
Pros: With units that have Holy based attacks and Healing & Large shield abilities. A specialty with access to various enchatments. Access to Love & Peace and the Holy Light that boost white units trememdously.
Cons: High Gold upkeep, weaker AP/NP units and mostly ground based units with melee attacks. Rely on THL or SOL to add holy attack type.
Green 
Adjacent Colours:
Pros: Access to units-enhancing enchanments such as Enlarge Animal and Plant Growth. Melee based units where their attack type can be altered by Flame Blade, Sword of Light , Vial of Venom or amplified by Rust armour. Have high HP/NP units with strong resistance to most attack types.
Cons: A specialty that rely heavily on enchaments. Mana-Intensive. Units have a low attack initiative of 1 and can be stopped by Web of the Spider woman or Slow. Melee attacks can be greatly reduced by Brooch of Protection.
What colours to attack?
Now that you have chosen a specialty and finished researching your spells. What colours to attack depends on the units that you intent to summon. Having a specific specialty allows you to summon specific units easier compared to some other units. You have to focus more on on-colour units to be efficient.
For example, you intent to summon Liches.
Liches have Cold ranged & Magic ranged attacks with the fear ability.
Looking at this unit strengths: attack type, abilities, attack resistance, spells resistance, attack initiative and Health point. You have to determine which unit liches will be efficient in killing. In this case, Red Dragon will be the easiest for Liches to kill.
Reasons:
1)Fear ability are negated when a unit with Fear attacks another unit with Fear.
2)Liches have ranged attacks that can hit flying units.(RD is a unit with flying)
3)RDs have weakness to Cold. This means Cold attack deals twice the amount of damage.
4)Liches have high resistances to most attack type.
This whole process of choosing your units for your stack continues till you're satisfied or reached the 10 combat stacks limit.
In a nutshell, attack depends on your units and the target you're hunting not on the colour you're using.
How do I defend?
Firts, you have to look at your units' strength & weakness and predict which colours and type of units will be attacking you. The colour and the stack that will deal most damage and gain land from you, will be the one that you have to stack against with usage of items and spells.
For example, you're using mono-RD. Weakness: Undisbandable,Flying,weakness to attack type cold and fear gets negated when RDs are attacked by units with fear.
Starting Strategies
1)Rushing
2)Gelding
3)Low-land research
4)High-Land research
