Resources

== Land ==
Land is a key resource for provinces in utopia. Land can be built to provide building effects and is a major determinent in a province's population. 
Each province starts with 400 acres and gains free acres at the start of each Utopian Month. The amount gained is 10+ 5 * the year of the age e.g. 10+5*3 = 25 acres per month in year 3http://forums.utopia-game.com/showthread.php?640423-Age-107-Final-Changes. 
Land can also be added to a province through through exploring, attacking and the paradise spell. Gains on traditional march, raze and conquest attacks are calculated as a percentage of the provinces current land. 
Land can only be sent to other provinces as aid from a provinces explore pool, land already gained through exploring, attacking, the paradise spell or free daily acres cannot be transferred. If a province reaches 0 land it dies. 
== GC ==
GC (gold coins) is the main currency used in Utopia. It is generated by employed peasants, banks and the spell 'tree of gold' and used to pay wages, to explore, for training costs, building costs and for dragons. 
GC can be sent between provinces as aid and stolen through the thievery operation 'rob the vaults'. GC can be destroyed by the Fools Gold spell. For more information on how gc is calculated, check out Economy page. 
== Food ==
Food is grown on barren land and farms and eaten by a province's population and dragons. Food can be sent between provinces as aid and stolen through the thievery operation 'rob the granaries'. Food can be destroyed by the Vermin spell, food growth can be reduced by the Drought and Blizzard spells and food needed can be increased by the Gluttony spell. 
== Runes ==
Runes are used to cast spells, they are produced by towers. Runes can be sent between provinces as aid and stolen through the thievery operation 'rob the towers'. Runes can be destroyed by the Lightning Strike spell.
== Views on land ==
Some players consider land crowns to be superior to other achievements as honor and war win conflicts can be avoided by the leading Kingdom, while the number 1 ranked land kingdom cannot avoid an attempt to take their landhttps://discord.com/channels/398211456174260224/401802780483911691/1172693409685852310 retrieved on 31/03/24. Others think that as the player base has reduced there is less competition for land and due to king of the hill mechanics that favour those with a lead, maintaining a land lead in rankings can lead to a boring age with few wars or other kingdom wide interactions.
Some Utopia players and segments of the Utopia community have such affection for land that they are considered soil fetishists and there has been speculation that a controversial scene late in the movie Saltburnhttps://www.imdb.com/title/tt17351924/ retrieved on 31/03/24 was based on how some utopia players feel towards land.
