In WT, there's a function: pressing Ctrl+PrintScreen saves a screenshot to the .\Screenshots folder.
I didn't intentionally add this; it seems to have come with some library.

Added 2 minutes later
I checked, and the function is in the zdraw.dll library.
"sE wb .\Screenshots\%010d%04d.bmp Screenshots @

I don't know what this library is; it might be a leftover from Slava ZVS.

As for a more or less accurate definition of Dragon Utopia based on views, I'm not making any headway yet. Utopias aren't as large as they visually appear, but that's fine. What's even cooler is that the game can sink some cells of the Dragon Utopia into the terrain. Accordingly, this creates a very large number of potential spots for Dragon Utopias. A more or less accurate definition seems impossible to create.

I don't have a foolproof way to accurately identify Dragon Utopia based on views yet. Utopias aren't as large as they visually appear, but that's fine. What's even cooler is that the game can sink some cells of the Dragon Utopia into the terrain. Consequently, this creates a huge number of potential locations for Dragon Utopias. It seems almost impossible to make an accurate determination.

I learned from Gom. Just so you know, the problem of Dragon Utopias sinking into the terrain is absent in HotA.

For example, in my last game, I found 2 out of 3 Dragon Utopias on the map by viewing. And even in a place I probably wouldn't have checked otherwise.

Views are definitely usable for searching for Dragon Utopias. That is, they help determine how to move DDs or launch scouts more meaningfully rather than completely at random. However, I haven't managed to achieve stability yet (referring to SoD). For example, if you take 4 super-treasures on 6l10ma, mark where all the Dragon Utopias are based on views, and then reveal the map to check, some will certainly match, but far from all of them.
That is, there will be places where I thought a Dragon Utopia was likely, but it isn't there.
And conversely, there will be places where I considered the probability of a Dragon Utopia to be zero or small, but it turned out to be there. The "drowning" into terrain hits especially hard in this regard.

So far, I haven't been able to raise these probabilities to any significantly impressive values.

The best players take screenshots of the map (mostly of the lands) and analyze the images during their opponent's turn.

The best players screenshot the entire map and replay the game.

For those with a maximum resolution of 1366x768 (laptop), I edited the grid using Nodl.
