Here's my hood:http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/303772_2174089313516_1285317545_1864450_224630209_ n.jpg
I apologize in advance, I didn't intend to write a short novel, haha.
More accurately I guess it's two separate questions.
1. Money. What the hell do I do with it? :confused: I hinted at this in an earlier post when I sarted playing almost 2 weeks ago, but now I'm really baffled. I've gotten a few answers so far;
"keep pumpin out upgrades dood!!!1" It takes like, and entire day, sometimes a couple do do the mid level upgrading I'm up to now. By the time that one building is done, I don't that much cash to start the next one, and I have a bunch saved from the day is was in the process of upgrading to boot. Of course I'm in a constant state of upgrading...The end result being - to get more money.
"expand yur hood and bild maaaaaaaaad bildings!" This seems a little tedious sometimes, and kind of unnecessary because after all, the point of buildings is; defense, or once again...More money. I realize that it might sound like I'm trying to talk myself up or sound cool at this point, but perish the thought! Since I got the ability to farm for M4s, I haven't been beaten, and I haven't found anyone that I couldn't handily rob the piss out of, so I'm not real worried about defense.
...And 90% of the money buildings suck anyways. I know I know, more ****ty buildings gets you more money than no ****ty buildings, which I guess brings me back to the original question. Why do I need more money?
It seems like the real currency in this game (assuming you aren't buying gold) is respect. I have 20 stamina right now, so I just hop around for from hood to hood only robbing warehouses, meat factories, and clothing stores (which are fairly plentiful, and average about 10 respect per stamina point used), bringing it to what, ten stamina for every three minutes (except for the times it maxed out)? It didn't take long to buy my entire mafia (granted it's only 20 guys) a Mustang, Tommy gun (before the M4 came along), Colombian knife, and combat boots-later upgraded to night vision binoculars. The only thing I need cash for is explosives, which are only expensive until people can't beat you anymore.
2. Why do people say they level too fast/why are small mobs a bad thing? :mad:
I've been leveling as fast as I can, and I'm doing great. From what I've played so far, they key in this game is mob size. I hit 20 mob at around level 5 or something, remembering that you could just input codes from lists on the internet to gain dudes. As I thought about it, and read up a little bit though, I wondered what the advantages to mob were. Sure, each guy can carry 5 pieces of equipment into battle, but for the most part he's only as strong as his gear is in relation to the enemy's. My 20 guys are armed to the teeth (or at least in the process of getting there), so pound for pound only gold buyers are going to have better gear than me, and anyone with more guys than me, can't see me on his rivals list, in theory, right (not that it matters much so far, since I attack the biggest guys I can see right now, who have close to double my mob).
Anyways, I'm pretty sick and exhausted right now, and I feel sort of like I'm babbling. The point is I'm trying to figure out if I'm awesome at this game, or if there's a hole in my logic that's going to bite me in the ass in 30 levels.
DISCUSS! :eek:
