Browser Game: The Reincarnation

The Reincarnation (slash ArchMage slash War of The Mages) is a text-browser game that uses the turn based system. In this game, you play as one of the mages in war havocked land called Terra.

To start things off, the first thing you do is to register an account at their site. This step reincarnates a certain mage into the battlefield that you get to control.
You can choose among 5 types of magic specialty namely:

Ascendant
Eradicaton
Phantasm
Verdancy
Nether

And every 5 minutes or so (depending on the server you joined), you earn a turn. You can use these turns to: explore lands, build structures for your country, attacked other countries and research more powerful magic.

As you grow to become more powerful and climb up the rankings, other mages might start attacking your country to capture your lands, pillage your economy, KILL your mage (which takes you out of the game forcing you to reincarnate a new account)
or simply just for the heck of it.

To counter this, you have to erect fortresses, recruit units and summon creatures to beef up your defenses. Richer mages can take part in the bidding for powerful units called Heroes in the Black Market.

A season's length depends on the decisions that the highest ranked mages make.
If 5 different type of mages successfully cast Armageddon, this signals the last days of the season and all hell breas lose as players become desperate to be part of the HALL OF FAME.

I played a decent Red (Eradicaton)
Summoning all those Red Dragons was sure a lot of fun!

Atchucan notes: The last time I played this game was back in 2002. There have been some changes but the basic concepts have remained intact.
