Players start with a small settlement and build their kingdom into a mighty empire:
- Choose from one of six unique races (Humans, Orcs, Dwarves, Avians, Elves or Dark Elves)
- Team up with your friends on Facebook to conquer the world or lead an army on daring raids to crush them all!
- Command your army with 16 different battle units and six race-specific units
- Learn new skills and strategies with every race and customize your Kingdom to match your style of game play. Will you harvest crops and trade or build an army and attack?
- Start fresh every 30 days with the round based game play system
Utopia Kingdoms is now available on Facebook. To start playing for free, go to apps.facebook.com/utopiakingdoms.
