Races and Personalities

In Utopia, players choose a race that determines their province's inherent strengths, weaknesses, unique abilities, and available spells — such as fast-attacking Avians, magic-resistant Elves, or economically strong Dwarves. They also select a personality, which layers on specialized bonuses, starting advantages, and tactical perks — from aggressive Warrior boosts to powerful mystic benefits. Together, race and personality shape a player’s playstyle, strategic options, and role within their kingdom.
