Turf Wars causes a lot of police attention and also causes your enemy to be separated from his or her gang. Your enemy will not receive any gang profits (cash and thugs) and will also have a 50% reduction in profits from turns. They will also not receive thugs from their gang if they are attacked. Every turn they use until the end of the Turf War you will receive a cut of that money. Turf War costs 15 turns and 100 Street Hoes, 100 Web Cam girls and 100 Escorts (they don't come back) and you need a Ho Rating of 1000. It is unknown how long a Turf War will last. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- W H A T A R E H O E S ? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Hoes are the mainstay of any successful gang.

There are three types of Hoes: Street Hoes, Web Cam Girls, and Escorts. Street Hoes are the lowest quality of Hoes, Web Cam Girls are of average quality, and Escorts are the highest quality of Hoes. The better the quality Ho, the more money you will make. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- W H A T A R E D R U G D E A L E R S ? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Drug Dealers are a vital part to any successful gang.

There are three types of Dealers in Gang-Wars. High school Pushers are the lowest quality. Dealers, College Dealers are of average quality, and Drug Lords are the highest quality Dealer. The better the quality the more drugs you will produce each turn. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- W H A T A R E T H U G S ? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Thugs are the muscle of a gang. Thugs earn the least amount of money per turn, but are considered to have the strongest attacks. To maximize your Thug profits you should raise your Strength and Guerilla Warfare. There are three types of Thugs in Gang-Wars. Baby Gangsters are the lowest quality Thugs, Punks are average quality Thugs, and Original Gangsters are the highest quality Thug. The better the quality of Thug, the more money you will earn, and the better they will attack in combat. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- W H A T A R E M E R C E N A R I E S ? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Mercenaries are basically thugs who sit around and use drugs. As there purpose is to defend only, they won't join you in attacks. They use up drugs hourly, and if you run out of drugs they will leave. They should be considered short term defense while re-building. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- W H A T A R E T U R N S ? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Turns are used to perform actions in the game. You spend turns anytime you recruit followers, attack another player, or train a stat or skill. You get new turns at a rate of 3 every 5 minutes. There is a timer located in your browser's status bar (bottom, left-hand side of the browser) that will inform you of the time remaining until you receive new turns. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- T R A I N I N G S T A T S A N D S K I L L S -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Training will increase the stat or skill of your choice. The higher your stats and skills the better your character will earn money, attack, defend, and recruit. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- W H A T A R E C A S I N O S ? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Casinos provide a steady supply of cash for your gang. You can own up to 500 casinos per country. Each casino gives each gang member $5000 randomly, X amount of times, throughout the day. Casinos are considered a Local Gang Holding. This means that gang members need to be in the country where the casinos were bought to receive the cash from the casinos. If you leave the country, your casinos will still exist there, but you will not receive money from them until you return. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- W H A T A R E B A R R A C K S ? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Barracks provide your gang with thugs for each member of your gang. Your members will only get thugs if they have less then 4000 Baby Gangsters, 3000 Punks and 2000 Original Gangsters respectively. Like casinos, barracks produce the thugs randomly, X amount of times, throughout the day. You can own up to 250 barracks per country. Barracks are considered a Local Gang Holding. This means that gang members need to be in the country where the barracks were bought to receive the troops. If you leave the country, your barracks will still exist there, but you will not receive troops from them until you return. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- W H A T A R E A I R L I N E R S ? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Airliners reduce the cost of travel around the world. The base cost for travel is 100 turns. You can own up to 40 airliners, reducing the costs of travel to 20 turns. Airliners affect all gang members no matter what country they operate in. When moving from country to country there is a ten minute delay between moves. In other words, you must wait ten mintues to move to another country if you just moved to the country that you are currently in. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- W H A T A R E B A N K S ? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Banks are used to hold casino and country profits. You cannot deposit money into the bank yourself, you can simply withdraw it. The maximum you can have in the bank is 50 million. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- W H A T A R E C O U N T R I E S ? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- In Gang-Wars there are seven countries in which players can reside. You can only attack other players in the same country. Any upgrades you purchase remain in that country if you move. You only get profits from gang holdings if they reside in that country. Travel from country to country is 100 turns less any airliners your gang owns. We have separate player and gang rankings for each country. Each country has it owns "Top 10 rule," which means anyone in the top 10 may attack anyone else in the top 10 no matter the difference in value between players(must be in the same country of course). -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- V A L U E S F O R E A C H C O U N T R Y -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Each country has a base value. This value comes into play when your gang is in the top 3 for that country. If your gang is in the "Dominant" position (ranked #1 in that country) you will get a bonus of turns, cash, drugs, and followers for being Dominant. This bonus is based on the country's value. Gangs who have a "Presence" or are "Emerging" also receive a bonus. A Dominant gang receives the most profit, with Presence receiving the second most, and Emerging receiving the lowest bonus. The base values are as follows. ============================================================ ------------------------------------------------------------ ============================================================ | C O U N T R Y | B A S E P O I N T S | ============================================================ | U S E A S T | T W E L V E | ============================================================ ------------------------------------------------------------ ============================================================ | U S W E S T | T W E L V E | ============================================================ ------------------------------------------------------------ ============================================================ | H O N G K O N G | T E N | ============================================================ ------------------------------------------------------------ ============================================================ | U N I T E D K I N G D O M | N I N E | ============================================================ ------------------------------------------------------------ ============================================================ | R U S S I A | E I G H T | ============================================================ ------------------------------------------------------------ ============================================================ | M E X I C O | S I X | ============================================================ ------------------------------------------------------------ ============================================================ | C O L O M B I A | F O U R | ============================================================ ------------------------------------------------------------ ============================================================ From the table you can see that U.S East and West are the most valued countries. Gangs should weigh the value of a country and the amount of competition for a given country. Gangs will get the bonus randomly throughout the day for every country that they hold rank 1-3 in. Countries can be considered a Global Gang Holding. No matter what country your gang members reside in, they will get the bonus for being in one of the top three spots. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- W H A T I S T R A V E L ? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- You are able to travel to a new country at the cost of 100 turns.
