Game Guide
Fast Start
Hire some thugs and bodyguards. These will defend you if you are attacked by another mafioso. Buy some weapons from the black market or your defensive units will get whacked. Look for a family to join. The guys in your family will back you up if anybody attacks you. Hire some operatives to make you money then buy some drugs on the black market to keep all of your operatives and defensive units happy. If they're not happy, they'll just go and work for a mafiosi.
On occasion drugs will not effect operative happiness rounds and updates are necessary for addressing these things.Rounds
The game is seperated into rounds. So everybody has a chance to win if they're good enough. At the end of each round, prizes will be awarded to the best mafia bosses. There are two round types; normal rounds and mini rounds. The normal round is where you make a name for yourself. Here you need to earn the respect of other mafiosi. In the mini round, you get more turns so if a mafioso has disrespected you or your family you can whack them in the mini round and show them who's boss.
Turns
If you want to stay alive in the mafia underworld, you'll need to use your turns wisely. Every 10 minutes, turns are handed out to all players. It's up to you what you do with them. To perform most actions in game, you will need to use turns. The amount you need to use depends on what you want to do. If you use your turns wisely, you will be able to win attacks against other players.
Prizes
At the end of each round, prizes will be awarded to the best players in each category. You can view the standings page or the full prize list to see what prizes are available. To win prizes, you'll need to show you have what it takes to be a good mafia boss. Some rounds may have a cash jackpot. The top player in the highest category will win the jackpot.
Families
In the mafia you must stick together, if you don't other mafia , cops or militaries will come for you. If you join a family this makes you one of us. And if they come after you, you can retaliate for the family. The highest networth ranking family will win the first place prize and family members will also receive a prize.
Hiring
A real mafia boss doesn't get their hands dirty. You will need to hire others to do your dirty work. Hitmen, Bodyguards and Thugs will carry out any hits you order. The more you hire, the lower the possibility of you getting attacked by another mafioso. Whores, Hustlers, Punks, Bootleggers and Card Dealers will earn you cash and produce drugs for you. The more you hire, the more money you can make.
Collecting
So you hired some operatives? If you don't collect money from them, they'll just sit there doing nothing. This is the main way of making money. You'll be judged on how much money you make so don't let the family down.
Attacking
There are a lot of ways to attack other mafiosi for disrespecting your family. Drive bys, killing operatives or full scale war. Attacking other mobs can be very profitable but deadly also. However if you miss your target you might get whacked. Mafiosi attacks are four times your networth top range or fifty percent networth low range, good luck. Mafiosa
Producing
Producing is a way of getting drugs, alcohol or cash from your employees. Instead of a cut of their profits, you can get narcotics or print money. This can be cheaper than buying drugs off the black market
Black Market
This is where you buy items you need. Weapons, drugs and vehicles are all essential for a good mafia organization. They ain't cheap so make sure you got a good business.
Bank
Here, you can manage your money. Stash it in the bank, your personal vault or send it to a friend to protect it. If you use the bank, you can earn interest on any money you have deposited. Here, you can also accept or cancel transfers to and from your friends.
Traveling
So you're in NewYork and your buddy gets whacked in Palermo. Pay the bitch who did it a visit. Whenever you travel, all your guys come with you and you gotta fork out for the tickets. If you have any private jets, your guys can go for free. The more jets you have, the more guys can go for free.
Revenge
So you got whacked by some heat from another family and he's now loaded so you cant whack him back? You're in luck. If somebody attacks you, you can attack and ice them back unlimited times for up to 24 hours, no matter what they're now worth. Click 'revenges' in your mailbox page and you'll be able to get even.
Friends
You can add other players into your friends list. If they accept your request, you can see their name in other rounds so its easy to find good guys you can count on. To add a friend, click 'add to friends' on their profile or type in their name on your friends page. You'll need to give them a nickname that you'll remember them by. Even if they choose a different name next round, you'll still know who they are.
When you join a round, you can use Hide Mode which will make you not appear on your friends' lists. This is useful if you want to infiltrate the enemy.
