I'm not trying to bring this whole thing back up and I know the stats are not true as you upgrade and I'm trying to get mine as close to "true" as possible so my question is, would it be worth it to sell all my level 6 Muay Thai buildings and re-build them and keep them at level 1 or is that just a waste of time? Thanks!

Just ask someone to attack you and tell you what your deffence is.

A waste of time unless you need space. A level 5 is still better than level 1, just not as good as it says.

Big waste of time and money. Level 6 Muay Tai has better stats than level one, just not 6 times greater as the stats would lead you to believe. I don't know the exact amount but it's probably 2-3 times the defense of the level 1.

The value of the deffence building is, the stated starting value plus half that value for every upgrade. 20+10+10+10 and so on.

Thanks for the replies! I guess ill just keep em, although money is not a concern as once my NC upgrade finishes in a couple days ill finally be in the millionaire club :)

@dipstik
I must say I enjoy reading through some of you responses to other posts and I just feel special that I got a serious response from you, and you didn't even suggest I buy more henchmen..... You know since other than helping your mafia, they also guard your defense buildings and add 100 defense per building :D

I wouldn't upgrade any defence by level 2 but that just my opinion.

How are the upgrades of the Bodyguard Agencies? They start at 10, what are they at each level up? Trying to decide if i should put a couple in.

You already know about the interaction between henchmen and defense buildings, so I didn't need to repeat myself. You've tried it, I assume?

I've got 22 bga and they work just fine
I fend off 75-80% of my attackers.... Personally I recommend them to anyone
Either buy gold or use tap joy. I don't understand why you think they're useless

How many henchmen do you have? I think the reason most people think they're useless is because they don't have enough henchmen to adequately staff the bodyguard agencies.

Henchmen as in mafia members?

No, henchmen are for sale in the store for 17 gold each. Imho, an excellent value for the price and vastly underutilized.

No... henchmen are like mafia members, but without all the drama and entanglements of human players in your mob. They do what they're told, they fear neither death nor pain, and they will never leave your hood defenseless. Go look at your mafia list and at the bottom it will say "XX Henchmen"

You can buy them for 17 gold each or win them as prizes for various events and clearing job maps.

I just bought two henchmen and my def stayed the same... Is it invisible?

What's a good number to have?

Sorry if you the question has been posted but can you just tell again the relationship of henchmen and BGA or is it just in general henchmen and defense?

Thanks

I'm on my computer now
I'll take a screenshot later and prove it to you.
Any defense increase is a good idea.... Not sure what point you're trying to make. I only have top buildings in my hood
Nc, gc, palm buildings, pt,rc, hotels, ob. So I have a lot of space for defense buildings :)

I myself got 180 henchman, and it helps me a lot in getting all the Toilet paper and Explosive Turkeys.
U could just check my inventory, I have 160+ of them. They all well protected by my henchman.

They don't actually raise your defense number by themselves, tthey help in defending your hood with the equipment you already have in your inventory. And like dippy said, without all the drama.

Imagine this scenario: Some chump's been trying to rob you and leaving green on your wall all week. Suddenly half your mob leaves you FAR less powerful than you were before! Now the chump can rob you with impunity because your hood is defenseless! It could happen to you... but not if you have henchmen! Henchmen will never leave you.

So basically the number of henchmen would ideally be the bare minimum stat defense (based on your available weapons) you are willing to accept?

What does Haywood mean then by "guard your defense buildings and add 100 defense per building"?

Lol I'm stealing that last line. You crack me up Dipstik! What about the bonus if your henchmen are mounted on ponies?

People send tickets to support to remove henchmen and these guys buy them. We need a poll on henchmen, do you use them or abuse them
