The Populous Reincarnated Matchmaker is a application which acts as a game lobby for Populous. It allows users to login and chat to other users in the lobby. You can host or join games with various mods that are automatically installed when you play.

==History==
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.

After EA closed down there matchmaker server [[Populous Reincarnated]] hosted a new one so players could still play [[Populous]] online. The matchmaker was then updated frequently with new features like [[Mappack]]s, [[Mod]]s, Skins, Private Messaging and many other useful features.

The matchmaker can be downloaded at the [http://populous.strategyplanet.gamespy.com Populous Reincarnated site].
