Quick Start
Go to the Hire page and scout for some operatives and defensive units.
Go to the Black Market and buy some drugs and alcohol to make your guys happy. Also get weapons to make your defensive units. Keep in mind that defensive units without weapons won't do any damge in battle. Also keep an eye on your guys happiness, it is easy to keep them happy but if you don't they will start leaving you.
Start by making some money by collecting money from your casinos, brothels, loam sharks and gambling dens.
When you get enough turns, go get some more operatives and defensive uunits and repeat it all from step one.
When you feel strong and rich enough you can attack another mafioso in your range. Be careful not many people will let you attack them without revenges.
Don't forget to protect a percentage of you money by putting it in a bank in case someone mugs you.
Join a family, because lets face it a good mafioso never acts alone. Or you can choose to start your own family and invite other mafiosos.
Finally, enjoy the game as much as you can and watch your back.
Round
Each round will last about 10 days to make it fair for newcomers, it also gives everyone a better chance to win. Once the round ends everything starts from scratch. You can change your mafioso name, family name, everything. You don't carry anything from one round to the next, this means no money, guys or turns.
Turns & Reserves
Turns is what you use to do everything. For example, Recruit, Attack players, Produce and Collect. Every 10 minutes you will recieve a certain amount of turns depending on the settings. Each round, you also start off with a given amount of reserves. Reserves are basically turns except reserves can be saved for later in the round until you decide to use them.
Networth
Awards are given to Mafiosos based on their networth ranking. So as you know Networths are very important to the game. When you have the higher networth you will be 1st in the ranks. When you rank 1st you will get credits and an award. See more about them below. This is how the networth is calculated:
Whores - $2,500 + Card Dealers - $2,000 + Bootleggers - $1,500 + Hustlers - $1,000 + Punks - $500 + Hitmen - $1,000 + Thugs - $500 + Bodyguards - $500 + Cash on hand + Banked cash. Tip :- Since Whores and Card Dealers have a big worth, recruit them.
Families
This game is a simulated verision of real life Mafia. Just like real Mafia's you can join families - a group of people who believe in the same thing, have the same ideas or just trust each otehr. A family brings protection, it brings respect from other members and it gives you trust in other members. Trust and respect can save your life, but it can also get you killed. Families have a size limit of 10 -20 mafiaosos.
Hire
One of the basics of Mafia Crimes is to be able to do things your way and not end up in jail. Partly this accomplished by not doing any crimes yourself but instead paying others to do so. In order to maintain your empire under control you'll need different personnel to preform different tasks and duties. In order to get some staff in your frew you could Hire them. To scout for loyal employees just use your turns to look in the places where you would find them.
Operatives
Operatives are the units that would work in your businesses and produce different types of goods. The operatives that could be part of your crew are:
Card Dealers - They work in your casinos and will determine how much cash your tables will roll out.
Whores - They work in your brothels and the amount of whores you have will determine how much cash people will pay for them.
Bootleggers - They work in your Speakeasy and will determine how much liqour your speakeasy will make.
Hustlers - They work in your loan shark and will help to collect loan payments.
Punks - They work in your gambling den and will help to push people to bet.
Defensive Units
Defensive units are units that would protect you and your operatives, and would attack other mafiosos. The defensive units that could be part of your crew are:
Hitmen - Their Strengths are their intelligence. The have good weapon skills that would both kill and protect you.
Thugs - They are not as intelligent and well mannered as gangsters. They are also used for attacks and to protect you.
Bodyguards - They are really easy to get and will protect you well. They are not that good for attacks though.
