How to Play - a Player Written Guide


This game as you know is a browser mafia game. The game runs on turns (action and attack) and each player gets 25 turns approximately every 10 minutes. But with the referral link installed to the game you can get up to 6k turns each day simply by having others click your referral link! (your referral link can be found in your profile written in gold).

Also in your profile there is a bonus 100 turns like that can be clicked by everyone daily with a limit of 10 clicks per account per day.

There is a daily reset that occurs every 6 pm game time. Possibly one of the best things you can do is buy a membership that costs $5 and allows you to only receive 4 hits in instead of 8 per 15 minutes or while offline, a very big help. You control hitmen, hookers, call girls, weed growers, meth cooks, opium importers, chem students, and you can also use experts for secondary attacks.

You can have up to 3 accounts, but no more then three!
Also there are rules to the game. View them at http://themobworld.com/about/rules.php.
For the basic info I neglected to mention or you feel I'm not mentioning something important you can either message me .. Dmrc2312@hotmail.com or just check the Information, How to Play, and FAQ pages on the site .. http://themobworld.com/about/info.php -
http://themobworld.com/about/HowToPlay.php - http://themobworld.com/about/FAQ.php

Scouting/Manufacturing Information:

Now for the more important stuff! Scouting and Manufacturing is obviously vital to building and becoming a successful mobster. But what to scout and when to manufacture is the key! Now you can get to an early start and use the 7k action turns you start out with or you can wait a few days until you have 10k action turns which is the maximum amount you can hold at once.

(Waiting is better because everyone is building and hitting and you can clean up on the way up)

Also, due to the installation of Family Fronts, you should immediately check with The Boss of your Family to see which drug he is setting up the family for. Most bosses will set it up to what he/she likes to make most.

Family and team work could be a vital part of the game as well because the faster you get family fronts, the more you are protected and the faster you build. Also some facts to be aware of: when beginning, you must pay close attention to hooker happiness! If scouting while the icon has your girls with orange faces, they will leave you! Your hookers will do this at 54% happiness or lower.

ALSO DO NOT SCOUT/MANUFACTURE WITH NO HITMEN!!!!

Now that you got the basic info of scouting out of the way, there is something you need to know. There is a number called a Magic Number. This number puts out a higher rate of workers (for example, Hookers, Call Girls, and Weed Growers are all workers).

You can scout all the way until you've either scouted over or stolen over 100k weed growers (or your worker of choice) and then start manufacturing, Do not manufacture until you have a decent amount of your preferred worker. Manufacturing in the beginning of the round is an absolute waste of turns, as you need a good amount of call girls and the only way to get them is by scouting or by stealing them.

Hitting

Hitting is just as vital as scouting! You get a maximum of 400 attack turns and there is no way yet to gain faster attack turns except for purchasing them if you are a member (which once again is a good idea, the benefits are explained later). One thing to keep in mind is that you can be hit 4 or 8 times per 15 minutes or while offline, based on if you are a member or not (It is 4 for a Member and 8 for a Non member).

After being hit your 4 or 8 times, you go into a state that is called Recovery. During this time, you have 15 minutes to rebuild your army and whack the guy back without you being able to be touched! Your Hitmen will not attack if their happiness level is low and to keep it up, you need Vehicles and Guns. Vehicles include Vans (which fit 25 Hitmen per van), SUVs (which fit 15 Hitmen per SUV), and Coupes (which fit 10 Hitmen per Coupe).

There are primary attacks and secondary attacks, each meant for a different "Army" personnel. Primary attacks can only be carried out by Hitmen and Secondary attacks can only be carried out by Experts!


Primary Attacks Information

Whack Hitmen (costs 2 attack turns) - due to open if you plan to follow with hooker hits
Bribe Hoes (costs 3 attack turns) - best to do when the other player has no Hitmen left!!
Raid Complex (costs 3 attack turns) - Rarely used but beneficial if you are low on guns, need something to sell, or are interested in just gaining networth!
Steal Vehicles (costs 3 attack turns) - Also beneficial if you are low on vehicles, need something to sell, or are interested in just gaining networth.
Kidnap Dealers (costs 4 attack turns) - good hit to use to open up the other player while taking a valuable resource

Secondary Attacks Information (all cost 1 attack turn)*

Poison Hoes - this kills the defending player's hookers and can affect their call-girls sometimes
Booby-Trap Complex - this kills the defending player's Hitmen
Destroy Gun Cache - this destroys the defending player's extra guns
C4 Vehicles - this destroys the defending player's vehicles
Kill Dealers - this kills the defending player's manufacturers

*Note most effective when you send small groups of EXPERTS (about 100k) at a time, not large sums!

Guns
