FINAL changes for Age 81:
Greetings Utopians!
Most important things to note:
- Freeze time will be extended (instead of Monday game start we will start the game on Wednesday)
- We expect integrated Multi-World Functionality to allow testing on the live server so you can enjoy your time off from the live server by playing around with new mechanics/races/personalities in a live setting
- IntelBot will remain 30 credits to purchase for the duration of the age, we want to add more features and improve functionality before removing the discount
- New category of spells (Support - listed in Mechanics section)
- Gold Account Status will be implemented, full details on the features of this and how they work listed below
- Artisan has returned
- Paladin and Cleric have been merged
- Multi-World functionality is ready to go! We will start by opening a just for fun, fast ticking round, Sunday or Monday
- Expose Thieves is now unique to Rogue and Mystic
- Steal War Horses is now unique to Rogue
For the time being, I want to reiterate the key concepts with regards to the integration of IntelBot but so it does not clutter up the post, it is in this spoiler tag.
TooLong-Won'tRead Spoiler!
- IntelBot will store all personal and enemy intel automatically with no set up required
- There are lots of commands that will help you run your kingdom, or just take advantage of intel gathered by your Kingdom
- Find lists of commands here:
https://utopia-game.com/wol/game/intel_bot_basics#top
https://utopia-game.com/wol/game/intel_bot_commands#top
- For Setup Help watch the 3 videos located here:
Kingdom Setup(2 videos): https://utopia-game.com/wol/game/intel_bot_setup
Personal Setup(1 video): https://utopia-game.com/wol/game/intel_bot_basics
- The big white chat box at the top of your browser is a private Kingdom chat
- This private Kingdom chat can be linked to a private Discord server (see videos above for help) and costs 30 credits
- PM DavidC to enable IntelBot to communicate to your private Discord server with your Support ID
- The Monarch of your Kingdom is automatically made the Admin of the Intel-Site that goes along with IntelBot
- Admin access levels can be adjusted by the Monarch in the Intel-Site
- All admin access levels are reset when the Monarch changes
Information regarding the integration of natively stored intel directly within the Utopia-Game framework. There will no longer be a need for the '3rd party tool' MunkBot (or others) to store your gathered intel and everything that goes along with it, i.e. requiring users to register on other sites, download other tools, set up in-game functions and all the confusion that goes along with that especially for new users or users that are unfamiliar with these types of tools. At first, the integration will continue to appear similar to MunkBot but will be re-developed continously to improve the User Interface, intel storage displays, bot commands and more. There are many ways we plan to take advantage of natively storing intel and will continue deploying improvements to this system throughout the age and in the future.
A very important key feature to understand now is that there is no need to have separate login information for MunkBot or that 3rd party Intel-Site, in fact there is no login required at all except to your Utopia account. The moment you enter your Province on the server you will be automatically able to access the intel stored by your Kingdom. Your intel and any intel you gather will be automatically sent to your Kingdom storage and available to your Kingdom mates. There is also an irc-like chat box at the top of your browser which will replace the ReverbIM chat system, all Kingdom members will join this upon entry to the server and the chat history will persist indefinitely. Any bot notifications will be displayed here as well.
Some side notes to mention as they are still in development: there will be some form of administration to allow blocking of provinces from KD intel storage (we recognize the need for this and are still fleshing out exactly how this will function), we expect there will be methods to add additional chat areas (tabs) to allow private rooms or areas for bot spam etc, the KD-Site administration area will also allow for customization of notifications/operation info and lastly there will be a method for connecting this chat area directly to your own private discord server and in this way you can be connected to user/in-game chat without being logged into Utopia (via discord) and vice versa.
Discord Integration:
Integrating your UtoBot to your private Discord server will be a premium feature. For those that are already familiar with MunkBot will know there were multiple features that required donations to function. These functions are now fully functional for everyone in-game automatically, therefore UtoBot will be a complete fully functional tool for all Kingdoms directly in-game as part of the regular game experience.
If you would like to integrate the in-game UtoBot chat and commands to your private Discord Server you will need to enable that as a premium feature. For now, to do this you must contact DavidC via Discord or in-game message to the province in (1:1). We believe the value of this feature will be around 60 credits, however, we want to earn your trust in us that we will deliver on our promise to continue updating the in-game UtoBot to be better and better. We know there are shortcomings currently and are actively working to enhance the functionality and make it more user friendly. To this end, for Age 80 we would like to offer the Discord integration for 30 credits instead while we continue to work through our first age of live integration and improvements.
How to Integrate UtoBot/IntelBot to your Discord:
PM DavidC in Discord or in-game in Kingdom (1:1)
If PM'ing via Discord include your support ID
Have the 30 credits in your account so that I can consume them and enable your Kingdom
Once enabled:
The Monarch of a Kingdom will automatically have Admin status within your Kingdom
You will have instructions from the Intel-Site admin area on how to link your Discord, if you need further help please contact DavidC or post in Discord and someone will help
How To Videos located here: https://utopia-game.com/wol/game/intel_bot_setup (one video to invite to your server and one video to link the bot to your kd/server)
UtoBot/IntelBot important info:
Currently there is only one admin for the Kingdom and that will be the Monarch
Once a Kingdom has a Monarch or when the Monarch changes, the admin permissions will automatically change
We plan to work out a method to provide other levels of permissions but for now we want there to be complete control of Kingdom intel to one person, the Monarch
Basic How to Use Bot: https://utopia-game.com/wol/game/intel_bot_basics (includes one video and lots of commands with details on how to use commands and what they do)
As always, we encourage new Kingdoms looking to form their own private Discord server and to visit our Template Kingdom Server that illustrates the potential features provided by Discord for your Kingdom. Join the MUGA Discord for all the details (link below)

Mechanics
Hostile Meter
- Sending a Dragon will move the Hostile meter by 18 points instantly
- The meter will decrease by 1/5 on the 1st of each Month, or 3 points whichever is higher
War
- War Range is now, low end 85% up to ~117.64% (1 / .85)
- Auto Surrender will be possible after 5 days of war instead of 7 when opponent is 50% or less networth
- Learn attack effects while in war will be increased from 4% to 8%
- Out of range wars will yield war points based on relative size at the war start and scale accordingly, for example:
Example: 84.9% range = 100% points
- 80% range = 85% points
- 75% range = 65% points
- 65% range = 20% points
- < 65% range = 0 points
Force Cease-Fire
- If you are in war range (85-117.64%) when activating a Forced Cease-Fire your Kingdom will lose up to 3% honor at 95%+ and scale linearly to 1.5% at the bottom of the range (85%)
- This honor will be lost by the Kingdom pressing Force CF, it will not be transferred to the opponent Kingdom
Spells
- Ghost Workers will reduce the amount of jobs needed to be filled for maximum Building Efficiency by 15%
- There is a new category referred to as Support
- Support Spells are the only spells that can be cast on Kingdom Mates (if your race/personality has the ability)
- Having the ability to cast Support Spells on Kingdom Mates does NOT grant access to ALL of these spells
- Support Spells are:
- Minor Protection
- Greater Protection
- Fertile Lands
- Magic Shield
- Mystic Aura
- Nature's Blessing
- Love and Peace
- Builder's Boon
- Inspire Army
- Patriotism
- Scientific Insight
- Illuminate Shadows
- Wrathful Smite
- Invisibility
- Aggression
- Animate Dead
Game Administration Kingdom (restated) - Kingdom 1:1 will be dedicated to Game Administration. The provinces in this Kingdom will remain in protection for the duration of the age. These provinces should not be messaged to replace the use of Utopia Support e-mail or for reporting violations of the Game Rules.
Miscellaneous
- Current Training time duration will be displayed on the Military page
- Current Kingdom Ritual efficiency will be displayed for all users throughout casting period instead of just Monarch/Stewards
- Adding Slot # to various drop down menus when selecting provinces in a Kingdom
- Adding EoWCF duration / end time to various areas (News Event / Throne page)
- When choosing a sitter, the drop down display will be more intuitive and easier on mobile devices
- Addition of a MAX button for allocation to your science page to allow for easier allocation
GOLD STATUS
- Benefits of a Gold Account
- Cost: 35 credits (will last entire age)
- Ad-Block Active
- Personal Hostile Meter Active
- Free Sitting Credits (10)
- Enable 'Mentor' status on your Province to allow Mentoring of other Provinces within your own Kingdom (see below for details)
- Unique Discord Role & Color to Gold Status Utopians only! (to be determined by the first group of Gold Status account members!)
Mentor Status
- Any Province can set another as their Mentor (you can only take control of a Mentee if you have Gold Status active)
- Allows the Mentor to take control of the source province at any time for a total of 4 hours (just like setting a sitter except the sitter[Mentor] can take control at any time, for only a max duration of 4 hours)
- Taking control of a Province activates a 24 hour cooldown before which taking control cannot take place again
- The desired effect from this is to allow more casual, or new inexperienced players an opportunity to have more experienced players assist with their gameplay and provide a more hands on approach to mentoring
- If a province becomes abandoned the Mentor will be removed and no longer have access to the province which means this cannot be used to permanently play provinces that don't have owners. This also ensures that the owner is actively playing the Province
- A Mentor CAN also have a Province set them as a Sitter, however, you cannot Take Control of a Mentee while Sitting for another province that is set on you, this means you can only ever be in control of 2 Provinces at any point in time.
Bug Fixes
- Fix personality +1 spec on dragon display page
- Thief training cost is using a float instead of the displayed integer on the page, it will use the integer for cost purposes as all others do
-
