Utopia is a really fun game I like to play in. You get to have your own province and you grow your lands. Build buildings and train military. Its fun and even relaxing. It's so much fun hitting other people for a huge chunk of land, or killing all their pesants with your mages and thieves Twisted Evil

Anyway, a new age ( new game) begins next week so everybody starts at same time. I think it'd be awesome if some of you guys would come and play - we can have our own alliance Very Happy

Post your thoughts/comments and ideas for alliance flag (something to add to a username so we know who's in).

Remember to play on BATTLEFIELDS server, cuz thats where I am.

Yeah, tony tried to explain it to me over msn, and I just gave up :P
Kingsofchaos is much better in my opinion.

that cuz all you have is an army and you randomly hit people for money... Utopia is soo much more.

Such as Sagus who was getting 2000+ hits a day when he started is ofcourse on top. In utopia its up to how YOU play and how your kingdom helps you...

so can I slaughter my peasants and tax civilians to the point where they all live in poverty and then publically decapitate them in order to strike fear across the land. I guess the real question is...

Can I have my own harem? Very Happy

Author:  Tony [ Thu Mar 20, 2003 6:54 pm ]
Post subject: 

i checked the dictionary and that didnt make sence Confused

and tax works the other way around... you make you peasants happy - they give you money. You dont have money... well thats a bad idea...

But you can be an orc with a huge draft rate (very big army) and just attack other people (you should have no problem) and kidnap their people and steal money. It's fun.

sweet! I got support Very Happy Now I dont have to (entirely) fake an army.

Now we just need mark our provinces and overtake some kingdom (25 provinces randomly grouped together).

I think we should have compsci in our province name to ID ourselves.

Like I'll be compsci Tony or something like that... New age starts March 23rd, we'll see how things go from there 8)

Great. Do I have to register or anything now or do I wait until the 23rd? I want to be the Elves! Smile

Author:  Tony [ Fri Mar 21, 2003 9:08 pm ]
Post subject: 

elves are really cool... big magic bonus Wink

you can create an account now and get familiar with the layout and how to do things. On 23rd when new age begins, you'll be put into a random kingdom and you'll get to pick your race/personality again. You should watch out for major changes that might be during next age (anounsment forum)

exelent... my goal is to overtake a whole kingdom in next 2 ages (about 4-5 month I think) then create an army of clones (AI) to play for me Twisted Evil

ofcourse having some actual people around will be more fun.

Post subject: 

its random, unless you're in a sertain kingdom for a while... then you get an option to stay... I'm hoping of landing in some getto kingdom and forcing guys to hand over their accounts... thats why I need some support from other people to back me up with force.

why do you have to wait 24 hours? you need activation code AFTER 24 hours but you can play now... Confused and its about 24 hours till new round begins (it already started, but time is frozen)

1 error occurred at line:

It hilights the ths bracket in "(overall)" and says "if must be of boolean type."

so how are we gonna get this compsci ingdrom thing going?

Author:  Tony [ Sat Apr 05, 2003 10:45 pm ]
Post subject: 

basically its an alliance between provinces. We identify ourselves by putting "compsci" into the province name, so that others dont attack.

In case of trouble, or w/e, we can request help from others in the alliance if your own kingdom cant assist you.

such as if there's anyone troubling you in the game, you'll have another 5 provinces to back you up.

I'm currently in war and our KD is in trouble... well sord of.

Their kingdom is threatening to kill off our monarch and as many other provinces as it takes to make us agree to sign peace.

So now we need to kill their monarch before their kills ours.

If you're not in war yourself, please help out and attack Legions of Artaria (5:25). Use raze attack. He doesnt have much land left, raze is most efficient.

Thx guys

War is over, nvm

sweet ! This game is sooo bloody addictive!!! download the utopia angel for help... ask about it in your game forums for the url

Author:  Tony [ Wed Apr 09, 2003 2:36 pm ]
Post subject: 

you can download utopia angel from www.utopiatemple.com You NEED to have it if you take the game seriosly. Utopia is a game of numbers and angel is your calculator Wink

Also there's a kick ass guide at [url]www26.brinkster.com/trevdak/[/url]

it has the same layout as the actual game, but every keyterm you need to know is explained at the bottom. You just move your mouse over it and you get its description. If you're new to utopia - check it out

I'm stuck... how do I get 50 dpa and still have a good offence?

Author:  Tony [ Thu Apr 10, 2003 1:21 pm ]
Post subject: 

you grow in size. At different province sizes you need to have different DPA/OPA.

at larger sizes, you can have more PPA (people per acre) so you can have larger OPA and DPA

Author:  Vicous [ Fri Apr 11, 2003 10:03 am ]
Post subject: 

so I will be able to have more of an offancive army when I get larger? cool. I think that I'm gonna get my land thru magical stealing instead of battles tho

Author:  Tony [ Fri Apr 11, 2003 6:25 pm ]
Post subject: 

if you're a mage like myself, you can easily explore untill upto 1000 acres. At that point it might be more efficient to just paradice in peace time and landlust in war.

maybe ur "survival" standards are different from mine, but at this stage of the age, u shud be at least 150k in NW to be considered doin ok in BF Razz

You should know that i played 3 years ago too, but stopped 1 year before. It sort of got too repetitive so i planned on playing when they make a big change or something, but i hav seen minor changes only...bttlefields is not that hard to "survive" 8) If your kingdom is good it could help you a great lot. but if it ain't all you need is the proper building plans and attack strat

Post subject: 

Ah utopia, I used to play that a lot, but i quit because of time restraints.
You can actually call be a veteran since playing like age 5-6. the game is quite addictive when you start, but the repetition of ages completely blows the game away.

Vicous --> depending on your race, you have to conform towards to its adv/disadvs; also, in BF, keep your defense up as high as possible

tony --> that's what i used to do!

tomako --> he's right, World of Legends is for kindgoms that have not been together that long, and they are smaller as well. In battlefields, experienced players have playing in kingdoms for a very long time; coordinated attacks and A LOT of strategy in the game makes them so powerful; and again, there is a lot of teamwork in the game, if your kingdom sucks in BF, well than you really will have a hard time growing strong since you'll probably lose every war

Drakonius --> there is a little luck, but not that much. One's skill to crunch and crank numbers will determine how successful one will be in the game. Also, BF players have a lot more experience than those in WoL

Lone]2 --> you should join if you like olden time games and like numbers Smile

Author:  Tony [ Thu Apr 17, 2003 2:51 pm ]
Post subject: 

the way I figure it... since we're all programmers here, we should do awesome Very Happy it largely depends on your kingdom though, cuz you cant do that much alone.

Author:  tomako [ Fri Apr 18, 2003 12:51 pm ]
Post subject: 

yup, utopia does lose its interests after the ages and years...
but if u and ur kingdom mates can make friends, it becomes a place to hang around and just talk...

but anyways, im glad that some elite programmers actually enjoy such a game, it makes me feel better, knowing that its not just a game for no life losers Very Happy Embarassed

Vicous - you can fill in the fields by opening the CGI page with values filled in.

Such as .../utopia/login.cgi?username=yourusername&pass=yourpass?whatever

No, silly. New players should play "Read all the stickies you can find and then look for more to read after that." There's actually quite a bit of strategy to it. I've almost got my dual-classed fighter/weatherman to lvl 55 at which point I can finish arranging the blocks to complete the line to fill up my bar and unleash a devastating QCF + P followed by a quick round of DDR. Yummay.

EDIT: Oh yeah, the moral of the spam--er, story--is please don't bring up old topics. Especially when I have energy, because then I just spout random semi-related garbage.

EDIT 2: My mistake, that should've been a HCF + FP. Damn, if I'd actually tried that I could've been killed!
