Recently, Cuba mafia has also been added to the game. Once you start playing this game, I can bet you will be addicted to it.
The first objective in Mafia Wars is to create a big mafia family. As your mafia family grows, the strength increases and so does the bonus that you get. You need to get other players to grow your family. Ideally, you should do a mix of top players and lower ranked players. You will also need to appoint someone from your family to fill up all the positions so that you can complete your crew and gain bonuses from jobs and fights. The different positions are Mastermind, Wheelman, Buttonman, Bodyguard, Safecracker and Bagman. The best way to increase your family size is to invite your friends on the social networking site to play the game. They will be automatically added to your family once they join the game. You can also go to groups and forums and present your case. Don’t forget to include link to the recruitment message. Blogs sites are also a great place where you can find people who play Mafia Wars. You can go to their blogs and request them to join your network.
Along with the endeavor to increase your family, you will also need to purchase a lot of inventory. Mafia Wars has an extensive list of weapons, vehicles and armors for you to purchase. When you start doing jobs, you will have to purchase inventory specifically needed for those jobs. As your jobs get bigger, you can use the money won from previous jobs to buy more inventory. More the inventory you have better are your chances of completing jobs and winning fights.
You will also need to buy properties because they will give you a steady income that you can reinvest. To buy properties, you need a specific size of your family. As you keep on buying, the required number of members keeps on increasing.
Another part of Mafia Wars is called fights. From time to time, you will need to fight someone, either to attack or to defend. Ideally, you should choose to fight someone who is weaker than you.
There are other sections called collections and gifting. In collections, you get certain objects when you finish some tasks or as gifts. Gifting is a great act to keep the family united. From time to time, you can send gifts to your family members. They will also reciprocate.
Mafia Wars is a great game and is a must for all game addicts.
