Welcome to Populous: Reincarnated! If you're a real populous-fan, you've come to the right address. We offer a wide variaty of Info, Downloads, and anything else related to Populous, so have fun! New Players Start Here!
After a lengthy delay since the previous version, the latest Matchmaker has finally been released!
There are several new features that have been added, the most controversial probably being the removal custom ranks. Players will no longer be able to pick a rank lower than their actual rank (sorry noob bashers). This is in connection with the advanced game reporting built into the matchmaker. Over the next month or two there will be a new ranking system implemented using the data collected. Currently players will get points as normal, but anyone can view the results of game on the game log page.
Another more popular feature is the built in port check. This sends a test packet to the client on port 7575 UDP to check if it is open. If it is open, then you can host. If the check fails, then you will not be able to start a game until it passes. You can run the test again by clicking the [Port Test] button.
If you’re seeing this message, your computer has picked up the address of the new server, which means you can post and get points without worry of them getting lost. The wiki is still being copied, so that and a few other pages will be updated in the next few days.
Sadly Gamespy/IGN is shutting down their hosting services so we will no longer be hosting anything on Gamespy servers. On the up side, that means we will no longer have to deal with the recently slow Gamespy servers and old software installations.Populous: Reincarnated will be moving to a new server at SolunaNet within the next several days, which may result in some service outages as different records update and are copied to the new server. I will try to keep any outages to the low times (11PM - 2AM EST) to avoid causing interruptions. There will hopefully be no more issues with the login server going down as the was tonight, though while using the Gamespy server, it will probably still be slow and unreliable.
Several new staff members have been added in the past few months to help maintain services.The new and old Matchmaker Moderators in charge of maintaining order in the MM and helping out players (including granting Name Changes) are:
