Short story:

Two players, widely known in the matchmaker, known as Divinity and Nici once combined in October 2012 to make a clan, Nici left Rw, Divinity was clanless, the clan was PIG, how did the PIG term become so famous amongst us? We don't exactly know as well, it somehow came up, the clan started back in October 2012, precisely on 3 October 2012 entitled as "1st try for PIG".

The clan wasn't accepted due to improvement problems, maybe related to the site and on 13 October 2012 we tried again, this time entitled as "2nd try to make PIG in". With no luck, PIG was rejected, and there were some more improvements to the site, because that was the main problem, forums were fine! On the 19 October 2012, PIG manages to have 10 votes again, but it was yet again in the CA server time, rejected, it was desperation everywhere, everyone wanted the clan to be accepted, this 3rd try was entitled as "Clan gets 10 votes but?", As you can see there was a doubt, we were in doubt whether it would be accepted or not. Yet, in the next day, in the 4th try, we had 10 votes, just in one day, this time entitled as "Ok. Revenge!.... to zero again", but yet again it was rejected in CA server time, it was the last plot.. We were all pissed off, until we finally tried last time, and we promissed if it didn't work we would just give up, because the administration was screwing us up. The 5th try finally worked and I myself could classify the website as decent as well, I was proud. On the 23 October 2012, PIG was oficially accepted, and we all comemorated in the mud and our swinery!

PIG this time finished somewhere in Dezember the 20, being widely regarded as one of the best clans in history, only within 2 months!

On 28 June 2013, PIG was remade, but it finished on 14th July, becoming a total flop, but it broke a record, it was the fastest clan to ever be made, since its creation to its activation - 1 day

Face Off is a commonly played map as games can end up short or long. The level focuses on a high hill which is the only path to other bases unless [[landbridge]] is used. Many new versions have been created (E.g. [[Double Face Off]], [[Fair Face Off]], [[Kinda Fair Face Off]]). This level is known for the blue base having a large disadvantage of land compared to the other players which lead to new versions of the level with a fairer chance.

==Setting==
[[Image:FO_1.jpg|right|thumb|280px|Centre]]
The level is a typical 4 way symmetry where everyone has their own small base which is connected to a large high hill named the centre. Each base has three or four small hills which can be useful for building [[Guard Tower|tower]]s on. Between each base is an island not too far away from the centre, the small islands each have an [[obelisk]] on it and can be useful for [[sidedoor]]ing other players.

The centre is initially the only connected path to all the players, on it is a [[Stone Head]] surrounded with a mass of fog. If the [[Stone Head]] is worshipped a [[volcano]] erupts in the centre filling it with lava.

==Strategy==

===Starting Off===

Many people have different tactics on what they do after the game has started. Most players command their [[Shaman]] to walk to the centre while rounding the [[brave]]s to build [[hut]]s. Sometimes players focus on building up their mana before trying to claim the centre.

It is a good idea to get [[firewarrior]]s up as fast as you can, this will lower the chance of losing the hill. If you want to claim the hill from an early start a suggestion would be to send [[firewarrior]]s up on to the hill as soon as the enemy [[shaman]](s) is/are dead.

===Building the Base===

[[Image:FO_2.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Blue's Base]]
Building the base is something you must do as you can be focused on defending the hill and then find out you aren't making the mana you should be. Simply try and fill up your base as you go along and do the [[Dismantle Trick]] frequently to increase mana for [[earthquake]]s. It will be useful to build a [[Guard Tower]] on the side hills that lead to your enemy so that you have one prepared in case they [[sidedoor]] you at a inconvenient time.

If they have the hill you will need to build a strong defence to slow down their [[shaman]]s from reaching the heart of your base. If you are slowing them down successfully you should be able to charge two [[landbridge]] shots and then [[sidedoor]] your enemy, once you have your [[sidedoor]] you will probely have stopped the [[shaman]] from using your weakness point to attack however you must watch out for [[warrior]]s that can sneak through via the centre.

When you are the blue tribe it would be wise to [[sidedoor]] as it is quite difficult clearing attacks from the entrance all the time. You may also need to use [[landbridge]] to create more land, when doing this it is good to create land towards your ally as your ally might be able to help increase the base land as well.
[[Image:FO_3.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Yellow's Base (Middle Built State)]]

===Defending the Hill===

When defending the hill, most players set up [[Firewarrior]] [[Patrolling|patrols]] all over, concentrating them on the places where the enemy [[Shaman]] is most likely to come up. It's also a good idea to have a bunch of [[Warrior]]s [[Patrolling]] in case the enemy gets their [[Warrior]]s up. Sometimes people build [[Guard Tower|towers]] on the hill and fill them with [[Firewarrior]]s.

Players will almost always defend the hill with their [[Shaman]] unless they go to make new land or defend a [[Sidedoor]], using [[Lightning]]. When the hill has acceptable [[firewarrior]] defence is is easier to kill enemy [[shaman]]s bhy simply using [[blast]] to get them closer to the centre so that your [[Firewarrior]]s will finish her off.

===Attacking===
[[Image:FO_4.jpg|left|thumb|200px|An Attack from Green]]
When attacking, you could use combinations of [[Earthquake]]s and [[Tornado]]es, most players prefer the use of [[Earthquake]] on this level.
If you struggle to get into the enemy settlement, the use of [[landbridge]] from the main central hill to one of your opponents' entrance hills to make a walkway to get deeper into their base is recommended - just be sure to put some [[firewarrior]]s up there and be careful when walking along as it is easier to be knocked off/into the water by enemy [[firewarrior]]s.

===[[Sidedoor]]ing===
If you are planning on [[sidedoor]]ing then it is good to use a diversion, keep the enemy [[shaman]] occupied or kill her before she can stop you as you reach their side. There are two ways of [[sidedoor]]ing.

1. [[Landbridge]] from the back side of your base to the island with an [[obelisk]] on then cast another [[Landbridge]] to reach the enemy side.

2. [[Landbidge]] from the front side hill and cast to the enemy front side hill.

Keep the entrances guarded, [[warrior]]s only need one [[patrol]] spot, [[firewarrior]]s should walk around as they fire further than when using the spot guard.

===Taking Back the Hill===
Sometimes it is not necessary to take back the hill, but if you do decide to, [[firestorm]]ing a heavily defended hill is recommended, and be sure to have spells such as [[lightning]] and [[tornado]] to take out [[tower]]s.

NiciPopulous: Undo revision 5253 by Boogie (talk)

Any period of time during which EA Games hosted the [[Populous]] servers can be considered or is known as the "EA Days." During this time period (roughly from the release of the game in 1998 to the day EA Games stopped hosting the Populous servers on January 8, 2004), the official Populous website was run by Bullfrog. The ''un''official Populous website now is run by Populous: Reincarnated (including Inca, TheGabber, ALACN, and ProtoageNet).

IncaWarrior started playing Populous early in 2000 on the EA matchmaker. In 2002 he joined up with [[TheGabber]] to make the website for New Worlds (now [[Populous Reincarnated]]), after the previous webmaster 1/4lb left.

Since then he has also taken over the development of the [[Populous Reincarnated Matchmaker]] from ALACN in late 2008.

Mappack

2014-12-25T23:39:03Z

NiciPopulous: /* Mappacks */

Mappacks are a selection of new levels made by fans of the games. They are mostly [[multiplayer]] levels for matchmakers. Any fan can design levels with an editor and create levels for you and your friends to play on. Mappacks can come in a variety of formats, with some including an installer to replace the game files, and others being a simple archive of the maps.

==Mappacks on Populous Reincarnated==
All mappacks designed for the [[Populous Reincarnated Matchmaker]] are stored in a standard zip file and contain an extra file named mappack.txt. The mappack.txt file contains all the information about the pack and maps including names, pack versions, creators, and the file names for each map's .dat and .hdr file. This allows the files in the pack to have any name without the need to conform to the level2XXX format used by Populous.

The mappack.txt file also contains an 8 character signature at the top of the file that must be generated by a Populous Reincarnated Mappack Checker before the pack can be used in the Populous Reincarnated Matchmaker. This ensures that all mappacks released have been reviewed to eliminate many bugs and meet a quality standard, and also means that the mappack has been added to the PopRe mappack database, meaning it can be downloaded in the matchmaker by all players.
