	In the late days of when EA were still hosting the official matchmaker, [[Populous Reincarnated]] created a new matchmaker which was a win32 application rather than on a web page. The matchmaker used the same server as populous.net so you could have alternative matchmakers. The matchmaker is not as graphical but more simpler as all [[hut]]s/rooms are formed as a tree diagram. The player list is still on the right and the chatbox is between the [[hut]]/room list and the player list.

			==Official Matchmaker==

			The official matchmaker was a java based app running on a web page also known as www.populous.net. There were a total of 9 lobbys which were used so that different ranked people could play with people with the same skill in a lobby. However there were not enough players on the matchmaker at the time so only the first lobby was used. The lobbies had a picture of a [[populous]] landscape with several [[hut]]s which were the rooms in which people launched from, some [[hut]]s held only 2 players, some only held 3 and some only held 4. At the bottom was a chatbox and on the right was the player list.

			Launchers were clones of the java based app which used the same server but were on different sites.

			On [[EA Days\|8th January 2004]] EA closed down the server, but another matchmaker was then used and still is which is run by [[Populous Reincarnated]].
