As another age comes to a close, and our newest begins, we feel it is our responsibility to help link the utopian world to it's own creative community. There are many volunteer workers that strive to develop amazing tools for your benefit, and enjoyment. With the power of the UtoNews, bringing a feed directly into your gaming experience to update you on any ongoing events, we would like to provide you one additional service; the knowledge of these existing tools.
Utopia Angel
One of the oldest utopia tools in existence to this day is an awesome tool known as Utopia Angel. This is hosted by a wonderful third party site, a landslide part of utopian history, Utopia Temple.
This tool provides windows users with many features, including an attack calculator, building calculator, and science calculator. But amongst it's best features is actually it's clipboard manager. I enjoyed this feature so much, that upon retiring from the game for 3 years, I continued to use this tool in my every day computer experience.
When it comes to utopia, this clipboard manager extends into an even cooler feature. When you copy a throne page, or a kingdom page, or other types of intel, it formats it into a easily transmittable format, with an export line that makes it easy to share with your kingdom. For those that use any intel sites may also find it's forum agent extremely useful, as it can transmit any intel you take (except a kingdom page) to your intel database, which is very useful for organization purposes.
upoopu
upoopu is an awesome Intel Database website. It comes with it's own Firefox/Chrome extension that automatically updates your ops/intel and etc to the websites database. It is not your traditional intel database, and does take a little bit to familiarize yourself with it, but rest assured, you will not regret it!
All intel is organized clearly in neat, clean tables. It features many tool-tip's that help expand and detail intel on provinces, and has a very cool op recording feature for duration based ops, where you can see in colored bars what ops a province has up, and how long until they expire. Once you are familiar with how this feature works, you will not want it any other way!
Utools
Utools is a firefox browser extension that makes your in-game experience more to the liking of what a utopian would prefer. It shows you things like suggested acre gains based on your networth and enemy networth, just by viewing their kingdom page! Remember, these are estimated and not exact. It also gives you a more convenient layout of the links, to easily access your council pages. Many utopians use this tool and simply don't know a utopia without it.
UtoNet IRC
IRC is a chat-room based instant messenger. IRC access is possible from many types of clients, including web-clients, from your phone, through the web, or even a downloadable client. UtoNet is a Utopia based IRC server where a huge portion of the community lingers. This is great for internal communication, but it is also a great place to meet other utopians, and learn things. If you do not use IRC, and want to check things out, I recommend you simply click on THIS LINK, and see for yourself only the beginning of an IRC experience.
Lucid Bot
Lucid Bot is a free IRC bot designed to help bring your kingdom irc-handy organization with intel, op tracking, and other cool features. You should be somewhat familiar with IRC and how things like this work before trying it out, but it is quite a detailed and handy tool.
Alliance Ranking
Alliance Ranking is a newly returned fan-built website. Originally it was built for, as its name suggests, ranking of alliances with a web-based chart. The evolution of this website soon became much more than that, until it was sadly taken offline. After three years of being offline it has returned to the utopian community with some HUGE tools.
There are many other tools that were not named in this article for you to check out, and I'm sure many others that may still be unlisted. There are also a couple of tools out there that are not supported by the games administration, nor by the utopian public. We caution you on what tools you use! For a list of approved tools, including far more tools than what was listed in this feature, please check out the following two pages of information:

Palem's Useful Tools List
Additionally, you may post other awesome tools you are aware of in this thread. If you have a tool you'd like approved by the community, please let us know about it! Please do make sure that you are not in breach of the rules, however!
