⚡ 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.

3. 🧙‍♂️ First 120 Turns (Apprentice Status)

During your first 120 turns, you will be learning the basics. You cannot be attacked or affected by spells, and vice versa.

✅ What to Do First

• Familiarise Yourself with the Main Menu
  • Learn the menus: Magic, Interior, Society, War, Diplomacy, and Soothsayer.
  • Each menu controls a core system of your kingdom.
  • Important: <<Status Report>> is the core of your kingdom. It shows you everything about your kingdom.

• Your First 120 Turns
  • Start by getting Lady Luck – it increases your exploration rate and gives additional bonuses.
  • (You can get Lady Luck by heading over to the Discord server >> Oracle >> #help >> follow the instructions.)
  • Explore one turn at a time to gain new lands (wilderness).
  • Build this wilderness into workshops once you have enough land to use a full turn (max/turn).
  • Repeat until you have built your desired number of workshops (299, 399…599 etc.).
  • (The more workshops you have, the faster you can build other buildings.)
  • Build farms/towns when necessary to maintain a positive net income.
  • (You can see this under Status Report >> Interior Info.)
  • Proceed to explore and build into libraries.
  • (The more libraries you have, the faster you can complete your research.)
  • Important: Do not use more than 120 turns. You'll exit the Apprentice Status and become open to attacks.

• Reaching 120 Turns (Before Exiting Apprentice Status)
  • Wait until you have almost full turns before taking your 121st turn.
  • Continue to explore and build into libraries.
  • Stop exploring when the amount of land explored per turn starts to flatten out.
  • (This means you are getting almost the same amount of land per turn compared to earlier.)
  • You may also spend extra turns to double the research rate.
  • Once research is complete, congratulations! You're now ready to move on to your next step.

4. 🧙‍♂️ After 120 Turns – Exiting Apprentice Status

Congratulations! You’ve reached the end of your first 120 turns. Before moving forward, here’s what to expect and how to proceed carefully:

• 1. Prepare for Your First Open Turn
  • Wait until you have almost full turns before taking your 121st turn.
  • At this point, you are fully exposed: you can be attacked by other players or bots and affected by spells, and vice versa.

• 2. Continue Researching
  • Continue exploring new land turn by turn and build into libraries.
  • Stop exploring when the amount of land explored per turn starts to flatten out.
  • Once you have enough libraries, you can spend extra turns to research faster.
  • Ensure to maintain a positive income (check Status Report >> Interior Info).
  • If you get attacked, continue to explore and rebuild your buildings, especially your forts (zero fort = dead mage).

• 3. Mid-Research Strategy Options
  • Armyless – no army; continue to explore, rebuild, and research until complete.
  • Partial Defense – summon some units to deter/defend attacks while focusing on research.
  • One-hit Damage – summon mass fodders and get into Damaged status, hopefully in one hit.

• 4. Post-Research Paths
  • Skill Whoring – focus on leveling one or more skills to a certain level or max in the shortest time.
  • Gelding (taxing) – focus on taxing to gain tons of gelds.
  • Wishing (Phantasm Ultimate Spell) – focus on casting the spell Wish to gain advantage (gelds, items, skills, or turns).
  • Climbing – focus on attacking other players or bots to gain more lands.

5. ⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Server choice → determines game pace and rules
• Color choice → defines magical affinity and strategy
• First 120 turns → focus on menus, exploration, and building
• Turns (ticks) → spend wisely; efficiency is key
