Depends on your IPH and patience, If you're above 250k an hour it'll be pretty easy and highly recommended.

Night clubs to level three if you can make collections then lofts to level 7 then MT's to level ten. ONLY expand if you really need to, at level 150 and not much left to buy, it may better to delete cheap buildings. How much is the expansion? Would the cost of the expansion ever be cover by those buildings?

iph when 2nd nc finishes will be $322K. hood expansion is the $15M 74hour one. it'll probably be my last expansion for a long time. the $66M for lvl 2 is just a really high # right now. i might feel different when 2nd NC comes online though

along the same topic, would it be smart to get the higher mafia buildings on my camper account and then reduce my mafia back to a point where I'd have all the items for the mafia members I wanted?
I'd have to save up beforehand of course to do this which might be a bit problematic but it might be worth it to me. any suggestions?

current camper acc:
lvl 19
atk/def: 1879/2116
$12838 IPH

I'm just questioning the process to get a nightclub for a lower level-- I'd start my own thread but it won't let me yet. Sorry if it seems off topic.

Fair enough.

For your level, I would recommend building up at least 600 invites and get your income per hour to at least 90k per hour before start saving for your first night club.

I would recommend focus on some lower level buildings to start snowballing your iPh. What you get depends on your collection abilities. Look through the forum for the tips on best buildings to suit your collection cycle. These include houses, laundromats etc

As you move up, the best buildings are Dom restaurants, movie theatres, lofts, brownstone, beachside inn.

Upgrade the best buildings until you get to 90k or so iPh. Then save and build your first NC.

I haven't provided a lot of details as I am lazy but just ask away if you need details. I or someone will be able to help.

Just avoid some jokers who keeps asking you to buy henchmen. Lol.

Thanks! I might have to stick to the mafia based buildings though as I'm trying to only lvl up by using stamina (lvl 27) just for fun:cool: which makes it harder to level up faster. My main source of equipment is coming from boss events which help a ton but also level me up a lot too. I'm looking to stick to lvl 30 w/ 100 mafia probably then try to catch up with equip (need more def buildings as well and Muy thai's look like they're the one) and money for 300 mafia and the nightclubs. Any estimates on how long I'd be looking at with 2x lvl 7 lofts and 2x lvl 10 movie theaters? or is it better to level more and work from there?


Updated stats:
Lvl 19, 11 mafia members (9 henchmen from goals, 2 actual people)
Attack:2047 (I could comfortably sit around 3.5k with 50 members) 143 weps
Defense 2282 (Around the same here with 50 members)49 armor-- ~100 or so from buildings
IPH: $12,877 (2x house lvl 10, 2x ice cream lvl 7/8, 2x pawn shop 10/5, and every other free to play store in the game from lvl 1-19 that are at least lvl 4)

Firstly, don't level up too quickly. As you move up, you will meet stronger players who tends to beat you up more often and for fun. Only level to when you have maximised all buildings and stats for that range and you need to unlock better buildings. Remember this is a game of endurance, the longer you can hold out, the stronger you will be unless you buy gold.

For lofts, get them as high as you can but for movie theatres, I recommend level 6, max 7 before you should start focusing on even better buildings like NC. Wile NC are 6 hour collection cycles, if you keep to a low level with reduced number of mafia, you will rarely get robbed if you are strong enough. It will be worth you time even if you make 2 collections pr day. As for time frames, it depends on how often you play. Anywhere between a few months to half a year I reckon.

For defence buildings, read the forum. No one builds Muay Thai cause they're are crap for thir size. As you get more buildings, expansions costs significantly more so you want best return for space. As such go for Gatling turrets, level up to 2-3, and then build missile turrets. Don't worry about the rest as they suck.

With a $300k IPH you should have upgraded the first NC to level 2 before building the second...so the choice should be clear.

yeah, i'm realizing that now. of course it hurt me even more cause i didn't upgrade regularly until i got around level 80

i've got $40M saved for 1st NC upgrade. will get to $66M in 5 more days. did not realize the dramatic increase in income from level 1 to 2. just didn't know. goombah me.

here's how i think of all the type a's
level 2 is like getting two more level 1's but no space requirement
level 3 is like getting another level 2 except no space no level 1 build time or 1-2 upgrade time.

that means when you get your 40 mil to build 2nd nc, it is obviously worth the wait to go to lvl 2 and not build 2nd nc yet.
same scenario when you get to 40 mil again except to get to lvl 3 is significantly more. being impatient i built the 2nd nc, took that to 2 also (regrettably) now working on lvl3. but i should of done 1-3 then 1-3 again in hindsight hope this helps someone who reads it.

of course this assumes you have decent 100k+ iph to begin with

i think you have a very good argument that 0-2 has more yield. for most players it is probably the best route. i think this is clear because at the real end of the two scenarios you will have 2 lvl 3 ncs, and one route 0-2 produces a little earlier with almost all iphs for a nominal cost, build time and space.

No. After NC#1 is upgraded to lvl 2, you should build your 2nd Nightclub and then take that one to lvl 2. Then #1 to lvl 3, #2 to lvl 3 and keep ping ponging them like that. mxz has a link in his sig explaining why this is the best method

Ok, sorry. I'd still upgrade #1 to lvl 2 and then #2 to lvl 2 anyway, imo.

What's the ideal mafia size for this set of levels (say 50-70)? I'm going to drop mine down but I'm not sure how low to go. Cheers.
