Intel-Site & Bot

The in game intel site and bot were introduced to provide further information and features to players. 
It was introduced to the game in Age 71 , in part to provide information on targets, so that targetfinders that scrape the Utopia kingdom pages could be banned and stress on the Utopia servers reduced. Prior to this the site existed as a third party tool, created by Munk and so is still sometimes referred to by that name. 
The site records various information about provinces and kingdoms and the bot allows commands to be run that present information from the intel site. Information is parsed from web pages loaded in game (both on the player's own province and actions against other provinces like intel and attacks) and the intel site shows the age of information. 
== Bot integration with Discord ==
Utopiabot can be invited and set up in a kingdom's private discord server so that commands can be run from discord. This used to be a premium paid feature, but more recently has been provided for free.

In March 2022https://discord.com/channels/398211456174260224/401802780483911691/955909709213356052 retrieved on 31/03/24 work on a new intel site (https://intel.utopia.site/) and bot were confirmed by game admin and these were announced in June 2022https://discord.com/channels/398211456174260224/405605576681455616/982680383210532864 retrieved on 31/03/24. The new intel site started a public beta in April 2023https://discord.com/channels/398211456174260224/405605576681455616/1094027297897590805 retrieved on 01/04/24 and is still in beta as of age 105, with further features to replace the old site in development.
The new site does not parse information from players webapges, but instead pulls information directly from the Utopia backend and so no longer relied on javascript. Initially the site was launched for Genesis and then world of legends quickly followed. 
Intel age is displayed by color on the site: 
Color 	Age
green (fresh) 	<15m
yellow (fairly fresh)	15m-1hr
orange (pretty old) 	1-4hrs
red (old) 	> 4hrs
New discord channels for feedback were setup on Muga discord: #new-intel-site-feedback #⁠new-intel-site-bug-report
