The Plague
The Orcs are a unique race of creatures who carry a rare disease known in Utopia simply as The Plague. Each time an Orc province -- or any province infected with the Plague -- successfully attacks or is attacked by another province, there is a small chance they will transmit The Plague to that province. While infected with The Plague, the province will have no population growth. Due to illness, utilization drops as well. The Plague will naturally be cured, on average in 10 to 12 Utopian Days -- at most, no more than 1 Utopian Month. Hospitals can help increase the pace of the cure.

The Personalities
Within Utopia Your races defines some of the fundamental strengths and weaknesses of your province. However, how you lead -- your background, knowledge, and experience -- also plays a part in how your citizens grow and learn. When entering the Utopian world, you are asked to select a Personality for your leader. This helps to further define your lands, possibly countering a weakness or building upon a natural strength. That, of course, is up to you.
