Crime City Quickie Questions

[Bala82]

If anyone has any questions in regards to Crime City / forum, shoot it here.:)

There are plenty of knowledgeable members that can answer questions.

I've realized that even with fact sheets,guides,etc etc out there, people still have questions. Some clever,some dumb but it doesn't matter because we are all here to help one another to get better at the game.

Either way, no need for another dozen threads being created to questions that can be answered and solved with just the help of each other.

[PastaSux]

I have a question.........

Why does Gree let cheaters like a NGF p.ay the game and dont do summing about it....

But I drop 50 doller worth of g and I don't get an item???????

[aeoeaa]

Anybody knows how many fights you need to win in the last round (500) of TL mission?

[aeoeaa]

...and why am I not allowed to create a new thread?

[D3V]

...and why am I not allowed to create a new thread?

Because you are new. Edit - never mind? I was thinking of something else.

Just because you drop 50 dollars doesn't mean you will get an item.

The only way to get an item using gold is to buy it. It's really that simple. If you use gold in an event it's bit like a lottery. you pay $10 for a lottery ticket in hope you will win the jackpot and if you don't there's nothing you can do. In fact the secret to get 10th item is to use Gold during the first day not the last day. This proven by a lot of gold players who got the item.

[Bala82]

Rephrase: When am I allowed to create a new thread?

When you reach 10 post you should be able to create topic.

What's a troll?

[Bala82]

What's a troll?

An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.

[PastaSux]

Are they doing this to me to troll me :,(?

Honestly you bought onto yourself -this is an adult fourm if you act like a kid people will make fun of you. It's a right of passage on this forum. I would just ignore them. The more you post the more fun they will make. You made yourself a easy target by posting you bought your mum cheap ass flower and used the money your grandmother gave on gold and than you didn't get event item and your complain?

Sorry if this mean but someone has to sit you down tell you that you made fool of yourself and people will continue to make fun of you the more times you post stupid things.

You are acting like pompus brat and think people will treat you nice because your 17 years old.

I am not trying to be rude but you seem not understand any of this.

[PastaSux]

Whaaaaaat but I'm nice!!!!!!!! And am really likeable!

Why do people think all these bad things on here. Ok I made a mistake.... But I'm trying to fix this :,(.

Why can't people see it?

You are not trying to fix it you want us to make you feel better.

THIS IS NOT THE PURPOSE OF THIS FOURM.

Your action is what has caused people to think this. This will be my last response on this matter :)

I think Bala realizes that, but he's just trying to be nice. For as much as Pasta has posted, even discussions around TonySpaghetti, he seems a little suspect.

[Bala82]

Thanks buddylee some people just can't take a hint . I realise it was pointless after my last post

[Paulio]

Anybody knows how many fights you need to win in the last round (500) of TL mission?


I think it's 500 ?

I don't remember the exact number, but it's closer to 120.

Bala means well, but he gives a lot of wrong advice.

[TriBeCa99]

I don't remember the exact number, but it's closer to 120.

Bala means well, but he gives a lot of wrong advice.

Seems unlikely to me... I'm on TL 245 right now and it requires 112 fights. Based on the previous growth in the number of fights needed for each one, the number should be a lot higher than 120 for TL 500.

[Sunsets]

Here's a question: Why do us legitimate low-level campers ALWAYS seem to get reported by randoms for being hackers?

[Bala82]

Here's a question: Why do us legitimate low-level campers ALWAYS seem to get reported by randoms for being hackers?

It's due to the fact that a lot new players can't believe someone has that sort of income and good stats, they automatically think you are cheating. They don't understand that players like yourself are purposing avoid experience. It's ignorance rather than anything. This main reason why i am camping at higher level. When low level camper with couple boss event item it easy to think they are cheating. It's upto Gree to do a proper investigation ;)

As far as I can remember it was around 190s.

[Killshot-CC]

Here's a question: Why do us legitimate low-level campers ALWAYS seem to get reported by randoms for being hackers?

Because players at low-levels are often new to the game and haven't yet come in contact with players with high stats. If you want to camp with the noobs, you've got to expect those kinds of things. Why don't you come up here to level 200 with the seasoned players? We can spot a bona fide hacker a mile away.

[the_brein]

Level 44 here. I purchase a stockpile of gold once a month. Sometimes twice a month. Learned recently about camping and wanted to start up. Since certain buildings are better than others, and since those buildings are available once you reach a certain level, what is a good level to start camping at on my situation?

[dgwalker]

Is it still worth it to Farm? Or will leveling up too fast hurt me?

[the_brein]

Leveling up fast was hurting me in the sense that I wasn't winning any fights. I was throwing all my skill points at stamina and completing all levels for all maps. I stopped at level 40. Now I'm trying to find the sweet spot for me to go off the grid and camp!

[Sunsets]

There's enough seasoned players down here to keep things interesting

You can start camping at any level but i waited until level 70 so i could unlock upscale club. That's a great building but only gold building i bought was church. It's really up to you :)

[Bala82]

With 40% gold sale i am think buying gold but i can't decided whether i should buy another church or anchor building ?

Still a beginner, but I was also in your situation two months ago since I gained many levels before realizing I was losing lots of fights and that leveling doesn't give many benefits. I would say it is better to start camping or semi camping where you are instead of burning up xp to get to the "right" level for camping. Gain points on events in other words, not on jobs. Or at least don't waste points till you hit level 51, since then you get to the next tier for boss events. Boss events are the single most powerful way of increasing in strength in this game, as far as I can tell.

[Knightstriker]

I have chosen a defensive leader and do not have an option to declare war. What else do I need to do?

[derchef]

may wait 2 hours when battle start...

[Knightstriker]

Alright, thank you for the response.

[Rufi]

Our main leader is not here therefore a defense leader hasn't been assigned. How will that affect us?

[Rufi]

Well for now, you're screwed.

can we still participate?

[ardiamonds]

I had an allie from MW tell me I would enjoy CC. I am now on level ten but find this game inferior to MW. The whole banking system is awful. You make me lose money when I want to save it and have it protected PLUS I have to go and withdraw to use. Modern War is so simple and no penalties for protecting money. You just go to the store buy what you need without having to go and withdraw, MW is like using a debit card. I do not know why they did not make the banking system easy like MW! very illogical and if you go from MW to CC like me, you may run off the gamer which means you are going to lose money. Most get tempted from time to time to buy some gold. I do not even see that happening if I stay in this game. It looks like Funzio needs someone with a business degree, not just computer geeks.

[the_brein]

Level 44 and planning to camp here. I have gold. What buildings should I buy:
Smoke shop
Anchor imports
Blues club
Chicken and waffles
Modern art museum
Sushi Bar
Cowboy casino
Jazz club
Carousel
Empire theater
Mansion
Techno club

That's all I have available at this level. Or should I get cars and equipment?

[gambet1234]

Exactly how long does it take for your Battle Health to refresh fully.
I just hit the hideout for 20pts 1 minute before the battle was over. How long should I wait to declare battle?

[Killshot-CC]

Minimum 3 days.

The only Gold building worth getting from the list is Anchor imports than next one should be Church (level 64) and last one rock cafe (102) .

Well that's good question let me think about it and get back to you :)

[dgwalker]

Is there an advantage if my syndicate wins a battle vs loses a battle?

Do we get the same points either way?

Thanks

[Sunsets]

The only real advantage you're going to get in World Domination Events is by spending a couple tons of gold

[bald zeemer]

The only Gold building worth getting from the list is Anchor imports than next one should be Church (level 64) and last one rock cafe (102) .

Anchor is a waste of gold. Church, Rock Cafe, Pirate Tavern, Gentlemens Club and Palm Hotel. Wedding Chapel if you have more gold for building beyond that.

[Bala82]

Anchor is a waste of gold. Church, Rock Cafe, Pirate Tavern, Gentlemens Club and Palm Hotel. Wedding Chapel if you have more gold for building beyond that.

I heard Wedding chapel isn't worth it because it get robbed frequently ?

For the players he's at level 44 the best gold building available for him is Anchor if the player was much higher i would recommended going church instead of anchor .

[bald zeemer]

The gold isn't going to go off. Anchor is a bad choice unless he's planning on buying almost all gold buildings.

Yes, wedding chapels are prone to robbery, which is why they come after all the others. A non-essential but nice building.

[Bala82]

You are right there's no expiry for gold but the amount of time i see player post about how they accidentally spend gold and than having to contact support and wait for a refund. The longer you hold the gold on your account the more likely you will make a mistake. There no gold confirmation feature on this game which is a problem.

[the_brein]

I have three frosty hideouts already. Leveled all the way. Pretty much. They are beasts. I just schedule alarm clock to check in every 8 hours cuz people have a habit of robbing them too. I'll snatch up the AI since I plan on camping here for a while.

What about equipment? Skull cruiser? Explosives?

[bald zeemer]

The skull cruiser is a fantastic item, and non-consumable explosives are always worth a look.
That said, the cruiser should probably only be on your shopping list if you plan on some serious long-term gold usage.

I accidentally bought the 1 extra mafia member for 17 gold. Sucks cuz I had it all planned out. I was gonna have three gold left over. Now I gotta buy something else.

[BDB - AL]

1. When you're at war, does it matter who you attack to get more influence points (IP)? Does attacking someone with a lower lever and members mean less IP, and someone near your level mean more IP?

2. Does your attack strength determine how much damage you do to a hideout? If someone with 100k attack hits a level 1 hideout, does it do more damage then someone with like 50k?

Thanks

[nickcity]

Does the top players in each syndicate get prizes? How good are the prizes? Top 3 Players?

[BDB - AL]

If your syndicate reaches the level of obtaining a reward, then the whole syndicate gets the reward. The rewards are good, you can see them here:

I pretty much have the same question.

[the_brein]

An attack against a hideout will do the same damage regardless of level or attack stat?

[the_brein]

What's the best way to ask for anyone's opinion if someone is a cheater? I've got screen shots.

[Hooligany]

My syndicate leader went missing, not replying to wall posts.
Not participating in battles. Most importantly, what happens to the $ n bricks in the bank? We can't add bonus, can't boot inactive members. What's next? Any suggestion besides moving on?

[Butt Futter]

find a new syndicate

[BDB - AL]

I'm not that familiar with all the bonuses available, but is there a bonus that reduces the amount of money that can be robbed? The reason I ask is that I've robbed several hood where I rob an Upscale Club and only get ~ $2,000 each robbery where usually you rob ~$18,000. This is usually common with other buildings in the hood like a loft and a church. Is this the sign of a cheater, or is this some bonus I'm not familiar with?

Thoughts? Thanks!

[ccjd]

Does anyone know if you can delete members during an event (since you can't add them)?

If you delete them will our syndicate lose any points they had accumulated (the people I want to delete have won some points just from rivals losing against them)?

Gree policy which they always don't follow is for officers to request Gree contact Syn Leader. If Syn Leader not reachable or is out they assign Syn to next most senior officer. That's what they tell us but not exactly followed. At end of day it gets done but with backlog could be weeks. Send tickets in now.

[Pocketcc]

If one fills health before completely out, it looks like on loses the full refill on a gold buy?

What if the next in line is also nt participating?
I am also an officer but the last officer on the line I believe. Members r all unhappy and r intending to move on.
Gree usually reply fast to thiS? As my previous ticket took me 2 weeks just to get a reply like "have your problem been solved?" N I am still waiting their reply after that which is like 3 weeks gone

[BigMoney]

Okay, I have a ton of questions, but I'll just start with a few here. I'm going to probably go into way more detail than necessary, so I'll put the tl;dr summary questions in bold.

I've been playing for about a month (started in the middle of the Madame Payne event), currently a level 72 (I am aware now that I ranked up way too fast) with ~14k attack and ~17k defense (a bit low for my level). I've read a ton of the "best of the best guides," and I also particularly liked the Economy Planning google spreadsheet, although the initial post in that topic seems to be missing? (http://www.funzio.com/forum/showthread.php?15477-Economy-planning-amp-discussion)

Anyway, here are my first few questions, about hood planning, expanding, and economy building.

1. I believe there is a limit to the number of hood expansions you can have (30? 32?), but is there a maximum number of hood expansions you can have in each direction? E.g. can someone expand their hood to the left 30 times, or will it top out after 15, and then only allow you to expand to the right? If there is a limit, how do you know how to maximize the area? Obviously a square (15 expansions left, 15 expansions right) would technically maximize the area, but there seems to be a lot more space wasted on cross streets if you expand to the right. Is there a way to tell how many expansions I've done in each direction, since I've lost count?

2. I'm expanding my hood as quickly as I can, but my hood is literally packed, especially with a lot of beginner buildings that I think might not be worth it. E.g. I have two level 7 laundromats, two level 5 pizza parlors, 2 level 4 delis, a level 4 gas station, a level 2 arcade, a level 2 Chinese restaurant, a level 4 diner, and a level 4 Italian restaurant. I also have all the building that were "goals" to build, up to Brownstone (i.e. IIRC Chinese restaurant, sports bar, clothing store, meat factory, shoe store, internet company, and brownstone). It seems like some of these might be wasted space/not worth the investment. Should I get rid of any of these buildings? In particular, I'm thinking that the arcade, sports bar, clothing store, and possibly Chinese restaurant are not worth the investment. Especially as I climb through the ranks, I see a LOT of big ticket buildings (2 movie theaters, 2 magic playhouses, 2 lofts, 2 internet companies, and I've even seen quite a few nightclubs). My question here is should I get rid of any of my crappy buildings to make room for big income-earning buildings now that I'm starting to be able to afford them, or should I keep expanding my hood and rearrange the buildings as necessary to fit bigger buildings in? If it helps, I have a $16K IPH, $500K banked, and my expansion currently in progress cost $500K (no idea which number it is, or how to even tell). I'm thinking I definitely need at least some level 2 Movie Theaters and Magic Playhouses. I can list my other higher earning building if necessary as well.

3. Similar question about defense buildings. I've heard somewhere that you don't get the full benefit for upgrading them, only a fraction of the purported defense. Can someone explain this? I currently have a level 8 Abandoned Building, for instance. Would it be better to buy, I don't know, a Security Center and upgrade it twice? I'm again particularly concerned with space, as I have very little to spare. Does the "84 defense" from the Abandoned Building go into my defense stat in my profile so that rivals can see it (so it's like a deterrent?) but it's not used when determining battle outcomes or something like that?

4. I have no idea how attacking other players works. I mean, I usually attack people with defense stats much lower than my attack stat, but I'm always baffled when I lose to someone with a defense thousands of points less than my attack stat. It almost always happens when I'm near the end of a really long win streak. How much stronger do I need to be than my opponent to know that it's 100% safe to attack, as opposed to a coin flip? What other factors influence this? (Defense buildings?) Does it work percentage-wise? I.e. If I have 14K attack and they have 10K defense I win 95% of the time, but 54K attack/50K defense is more of a coin flip while 8K attack/4K defense is a sure thing?

5. As a level 72, what should I be doing with my time before the next boss event? Do I still "go up a tier" if I level up to 75 (or is it 76 that the next tier starts?) if I level up in the middle of the boss event? I know I should stop completing story objectives (currently at Seaside, I originally thought the point of the game was to level up and get stronger to complete more story quests, silly me), but should I stop robbing people too? Or just stick to robbing laundromats or something to get max RP per EXP? Or just focus on making money/upgrading/building buildings in the meantime?

If someone were to thoroughly help me, I can offer a trick I learned to maximize your chances at the crate events (that's what they're called, right? The St. Patty's Day keg thing was a crate event, right?). I didn't get the Blarney Keg Tap, so I can't guarantee 100% effectiveness, but I did get the St. Patty's Chopper, 10 enhanced bikes, and $125K cash 5 times (though that's probably not too appealing to those of you making millions per hour). I'm slightly afraid that mentioning publicly how I did it will get the issue fixed.


Thanks in advance!

[Sunsets]

Is there a way to tell how many expansions I've done in each direction, since I've lost count?

Not that I know of. I believe the maximum allotted expansions is currently set to 30, but I could be corrected on this.

2.
I'm expanding my hood as quickly as I can, but my hood is literally packed, especially with a lot of beginner buildings that I think might not be worth it. Should I get rid of any of these buildings? I have a $16K IPH, $500K banked, and my expansion currently in progress cost $500K.

Keep the smaller buildings for now and reorganize your hood to make them fit. If necessary, remove decorations from your hood so that you can pack in more economy buildings. Your IPH is quite low for your level, so you'll want as many money-earning buildings as you can possibly get.

Once you reach a solid IPH, then you can start thinking about removing the lower-leveled buildings to make room for the big-earners if you'd like. But even then, I'd hang on to as many as I could just for the IPH boost. But you've got to understand that this is coming from a dedicated camper - So I'm a bit biased when it comes to maximizing IPH :cool:.

3.

http://www.funzio.com/forum/showthread.php?15058-Effect-of-Def-buildings-and-skill-points-against-rob-atk-by-Guru-Peacock-again..lol

4.
How much stronger do I need to be than my opponent to know that it's 100% safe to attack, as opposed to a coin flip?

With Syndicate bonuses in play now, it's trickier to answer that question. Defense wise having 2x your opponents Attack stat with your Defense provides full immunity. My best guess would be that a 100% successful attack would utilize a similar ratio. Keep in mind that there are several other invisible variables involved though, including Skill Points and Modifiers.

5.
As a level 72, what should I be doing with my time before the next boss event?

Keep your EXP gains as absolutely minimal as possible. For now, I would recommend that you completely stop regular PvP, and focus solely on building your IPH and fully equipping your mafia with max cash items. Collect your daily scratchers. Build up on as many defense buildings as you can fit in your hood without hindering your IPH. Don't worry about upgrading them. Alternatively, if you aren't as serious about camping, then focus solely on maximizing your RP:EXP ratio. So only rob high RP buildings, and avoid attacking.


Just my opinion on a few of your questions. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on anything :D

It is 15 in each direction. I'm unaware of any way to tell how many you've done in a given direction. To maximise space you should look to keep your hood relatively square anyway, so this shouldn't be a problem until you're paying $50m+ for expansions.


2. I'm expanding my hood as quickly as I can, but my hood is literally packed, especially with a lot of beginner buildings that I think might not be worth it. E.g. I have two level 7 laundromats, two level 5 pizza parlors, 2 level 4 delis, a level 4 gas station, a level 2 arcade, a level 2 Chinese restaurant, a level 4 diner, and a level 4 Italian restaurant. I also have all the building that were "goals" to build, up to Brownstone (i.e. IIRC Chinese restaurant, sports bar, clothing store, meat factory, shoe store, internet company, and brownstone). It seems like some of these might be wasted space/not worth the investment. Should I get rid of any of these buildings? In particular, I'm thinking that the arcade, sports bar, clothing store, and possibly Chinese restaurant are not worth the investment. Especially as I climb through the ranks, I see a LOT of big ticket buildings (2 movie theaters, 2 magic playhouses, 2 lofts, 2 internet companies, and I've even seen quite a few nightclubs). My question here is should I get rid of any of my crappy buildings to make room for big income-earning buildings now that I'm starting to be able to afford them, or should I keep expanding my hood and rearrange the buildings as necessary to fit bigger buildings in? If it helps, I have a $16K IPH, $500K banked, and my expansion currently in progress cost $500K (no idea which number it is, or how to even tell). I'm thinking I definitely need at least some level 2 Movie Theaters and Magic Playhouses. I can list my other higher earning building if necessary as well.

Movie theatres should be your focus at the moment. Playhouse isn't a particularly strong building, and it's massive. Movie theatre upgrades are some of the best in the game.

Longer term look to develop your movie theatres, use the IPH boost to build and develop lofts, and use that IPH boost to build and develop NCs. Every other move should simply be done to fill in time in between. I'm not saying there aren't other strong buildings and good upgrades, but these should be your focus.

Secondary focuses should include upgrading Dominicans to 4-5, getting Upscale clubs when they become available (not sure what level that is at).

If a strong building is available and affordable then cutting junk like Chinese Restaurant and Sports Bar is a good move. Remember to only delete when you are literally about to build, in order to prevent wasting earnings.



3. Similar question about defense buildings. I've heard somewhere that you don't get the full benefit for upgrading them, only a fraction of the purported defense. Can someone explain this? I currently have a level 8 Abandoned Building, for instance. Would it be better to buy, I don't know, a Security Center and upgrade it twice? I'm again particularly concerned with space, as I have very little to spare. Does the "84 defense" from the Abandoned Building go into my defense stat in my profile so that rivals can see it (so it's like a deterrent?) but it's not used when determining battle outcomes or something like that?


Do not upgrade defense buildings, period.

If you feel the need to build defense buildings then stick to 2x2s. However defense buildings are essentially a waste for you. There's no way you should be non-banking at your stats, and you don't have any big-earning buildings dominating most of your IPH.


4. I have no idea how attacking other players works. I mean, I usually attack people with defense stats much lower than my attack stat, but I'm always baffled when I lose to someone with a defense thousands of points less than my attack stat. It almost always happens when I'm near the end of a really long win streak. How much stronger do I need to be than my opponent to know that it's 100% safe to attack, as opposed to a coin flip? What other factors influence this? (Defense buildings?) Does it work percentage-wise? I.e. If I have 14K attack and they have 10K defense I win 95% of the time, but 54K attack/50K defense is more of a coin flip while 8K attack/4K defense is a sure thing?
Lots of upgraded defense buildings normally is a green-light to attack, as their real defense will be significantly lower than yours. I'm sorry but I have no idea about the sort of attack differential you need to ensure victory.


5. As a level 72, what should I be doing with my time before the next boss event? Do I still "go up a tier" if I level up to 75 (or is it 76 that the next tier starts?) if I level up in the middle of the boss event? I know I should stop completing story objectives (currently at Seaside, I originally thought the point of the game was to level up and get stronger to complete more story quests, silly me), but should I stop robbing people too? Or just stick to robbing laundromats or something to get max RP per EXP? Or just focus on making money/upgrading/building buildings in the meantime?

You should be camping. Don't get XP if you can possibly avoid it. Check out the Billionaire's Boss guide and see what attack stats you need to take out a level 40 tier 3 boss. Don't stop camping until you have those stats, or are close enough and are willing to spend gold to finish him/her off.

This will mean you'll have to sit out the next boss event, as I'm fairly certain you won't be able to take him out with your current stats. I'm not 100% certain but I'd say at 72 you'll likely level up to 76, and the next tier, if you participate.


If someone were to thoroughly help me, I can offer a trick I learned to maximize your chances at the crate events (that's what they're called, right? The St. Patty's Day keg thing was a crate event, right?). I didn't get the Blarney Keg Tap, so I can't guarantee 100% effectiveness, but I did get the St. Patty's Chopper, 10 enhanced bikes, and $125K cash 5 times (though that's probably not too appealing to those of you making millions per hour). I'm slightly afraid that mentioning publicly how I did it will get the issue fixed.
If it didn't get you the keg tapper I doubt it's anything of concern to gree.
I have the tapper so I'll let you have this one for free. ;)


Thanks in advance![/QUOTE]

Thank you very much Sunsets and bald zeemer for your replies.

Sunsets -

I ended up deleting my Sports Bar and some Abandoned Houses to make room for a Movie Theater. My hood was literally packed as tightly as possible, and it was impossible to even rearrange buildings since you need an open space to move one building to while you rearrange the others (at least I hope so, if you can move two buildings at once I'm going to feel dumb).

Thanks for the link on the defense buildings. Good to know the ones I have are pretty much negligible, and just wasting space (just Gatling turrets from here on). In following links on that page, I came across this: http://crimecityios.wikia.com/wiki/Defense_Buildings

My question here is: does the "tycoon defense" show up when I buy defense buildings, or is that hidden as well? For instance, it says "Listed D" for an abandoned building is 2, and Tycoon D is 3. I have the Tycoon (Goodfella, actually, thank you 40% gold sale) bonus, but if I go to buy an Abandoned Building, it still says it has a defense of 2, not 3. Is that normal?

Follow up to your attack/defense stat response (#4), I can see that high level defense buildings inflate the profile defense, but how does the opposite happen? Is that from syndicate bonuses, or are there other factors that can affect it as well?

To #5, I've found it'd be extremely expensive for me gold-wise if I were to try to take down the next boss. My 14.5K attack needs to be around 40K if I hope to beat the boss at a reasonable cost gold-wise (it needs to be ~67K to beat him for free). I just can't see that happening any time soon, especially since I was using the lower boss items in earlier events to bulk up my stats. I'm thinking I might just participate in the next one, and try to seriously camp before level 100 when it becomes truly impossible. For the record, I have been "camping" somewhat, only robbing laundromats trying to get that stupid bullet case to drop, though I've yet to get a single drop!

bald zeemer -

Thanks, I'm following your advice. Just started construction on a Movie Theater, and hoping I'll be able to fit in another one after my current expansion completes. I'm also currently upgrading one of my Dominican restaurants to level 3, and the other is level 2.


As for defense buildings, I got rid of some of my abandoned houses from way early in the game, after finding that upgrades are useless. Only building Gatling turrets from here on. I still have a bunch (read: 8) of level 3-4 Guard towers, and I'm debating what to do with those. Might need space later.

Said this in my response to Sunsets, but I won't be able to kill a boss for a long time. SAS just made a nice calculator, but when I figured this out last night, I found that if I were willing to spend ~60gold per boss level, I'd need an attack of 40K to kill him, a far cry from my current 14.5K. Currently just robbing laundromats trying to get bullet cases to drop, but haven't gotten a single case so far.

[bald zeemer]

Stop robbing for cases, it's PvE only. Drop rate is pretty low, expect something like 40xp per case minimum. You'll have to decide if that's worth it for you or not.

Also, check the link in mxz's sig. Long story short- upgrade your first MT to level 2, then build your second one. Same same for lofts and NC when you get there.

Hey,

So many threads so much info (some usless, some too much detail xD) so i'm just gonna ask my questions here:

1. I see people having HideOuts in their town, how do i build one? I'm in a syndicate (leader/officer) and build 1 hideout to the max but i cant 'place' it.
2. I read something about a Wall during syndicate fights on the forum.. Last fight i could see the details of our syndicate and it said: Status: No wall (or something) how do i(or my synd) build a wall?
3. In the syndicate war, i only managed to "fight" in the last 6-12hours of the event, thats normal or was it bugged for me? :/ we lost alot of wars already meanwhile we couldnt fight back
4. Is it worth it to invest alot of money i upgrading defense buildings to fight in syndicate wars? I almost never get attacked because i bank all my money and try to empty my buildings as much as possible, so 'wasting' money of defense buildings seems kinda retarded, unless it helps out alot?

Might think of more later but i hope someone can atleast help me out with these :p
Thanks!

You're right, there is alot of info on here to sort through. Best piece of advice I can give you though is to ignore anything that Bala says. He is much like the village idiot around here. Everyone humors him and lets him stay bc they feel sorry for him due to his limitations.

[Bala82]

Best piece of advice I can give you though is to ignore anything that Bala says.

See this is what happens when other players are jealous of me :cool:

Best advice : Make up your own mind never listen other people opinion of another person. You can tell i been a member for 1 year and i am leader of a syndicate. Van just jealous that i am leader he isn't :)

[bald zeemer]

Bala, I think you have your heart in the right place, but you have a very poor grasp of CC and should stop trying to give advice.

Try to imagine you were just coming into the game. Would you really want half-baked advice from a middling syndicte?

I camped a bit at 50, but recently worked my way up to 70 for Church's, Upscale Clubs, and the Crematorium (eventually). I'm planning on camping here for a good bit until I save up enough for a Nighclub.

I do have a question though: I understand that dumping skill points into att/def is pretty much useless and that most players go for Stamina. What is the recommended Energy level to have though?

Also, what are the best respect items to horde currently?

Hang on to your skill points for the time being, if LTQs come out, and it looks highly likely that they will, then energy will become significantly more important.

However, the base you should look for is enough to cover your longest inactive period (ie, when you sleep). Bear in mind that more energy mods may come downrange in the future, which would obviously increase the amount of energy you'd want.

As an indicative figure, for 3 energy every 54 seconds you need 1600 to cover 8 hours.

[BigMoney]

Okay, I had a few more questions, but these are the only ones I remember.

1. Are you more likely to be attacked/robbed when you're offline? Does anyone know how the "Rivals" list is populated? (E.g. maybe people that haven't collected from their buildings in a while are more likely to appear higher on the list or something).

2. I NEVER carry money around. Unless I am in the process of purchasing something, I immediately bank my money. That said, sometimes on my newsfeed it tells me I've been attacked and lost $X, even though I'm not carrying any money with me. What gives?

3. How does the game figure out if buildings are robbable? This is a convoluted question, so let me explain. Someone with two nice nightclubs and a really low defense stat made the mistake of robbing me to give me a link to his hood. Because I knew these nightclubs were robbable, I was constantly visiting his hood throughout the day. I know that Nightclubs are on a 6 hour timer, so I was really surprised I never saw his Nightclub robbable (despite most of his other buildings, including some high level Lofts, being robbable). I think what I'm trying to say is that it was weird that I always saw the same buildings available to be robbed, even though I checked throughout the day, and the Nightclub was never one of them. Thinking about it more, I guess it's possible that the guy didn't play at all that day, and someone else simply got to the Nightclub first (and since the guy never collected from his robbed nightclub, the money never came back). So I guess my new question is why do I sometimes get the "This player is too beat up!" error when I'm ROBBING buildings? Is that because they collected from the building as I was robbing it?

4. Last question. One time when I was carrying money, about to purchase something, I got a notification that I was being attacked and lost some money, so I immediately banked my cash on hand. However, for the next several minutes, I kept getting attacked and the newsfeed was telling me I was losing sizable chunks of money. I didn't have cash on hand, and I was looking at my unchanged bank account, so my question here is... where was that money coming from?

[Bala82]

You do know there delay between game servers usually few minutes depending on how often data in your game sent to server during the delay even if you bank, the server hasn't recognised the money being banked until few minutes after. So if a person attacks during the delay you lose the money.

[nytelock]

I'm pretty sure that's deadweight loss..

[Ohaithere]

dead weight loss is a loss to society as a whole, in the case of someone robbing you after you have banked your money... they are benefiting by taking your money, so it is not dead weight loss. dead weight loss would be the 10% banking fee because no one benefits from that.

[BigMoney]

I thought of another couple of questions.

5. What are your thoughts on the buildings the game tells you to buy (i.e. the ones it makes a "goal" for you to build)? A lot of them seem like bad investments (e.g. Sports Bar) that aren't worth the reward the game gives you for doing so. The one I'm currently on is Flower Shop, which just seems like a building that will take forever to get your initial investment back. The only reason I would consider building it is perhaps the buildings it asks you to build later on give nicer rewards, and you can't get those without the bad buildings first.

6. Which reminds me, what happens when you have already completed a goal before it's presented to you? I don't know what it asks you to build after flower shop, but what if I already built that building? Or the attack/defense goals. I have a much, much higher defense than offense, and it used to alternate between attack/defense stat goals, but now I only get attack stat goals (presumably because I've already satisfied the next defense goal?) What happens then? Do I not get the rewards for doing so? Or does it award me the prize(s) without notification?

[Bala82]

5. Well it's up to you but it get annoying seeing that goal every time you see goal in you list after 2-3 month you will get fed up of seeing of and eventually build it. If you don't even use goal list it's better . The best way is to play the game you want not the game the programmers want you to play.

6. You get the rewards as soon as you complete regardless of when you actually did it. if suddenly you notice extra cash you know where it came from.

[H-Wood]

Question regarding battle events.

Do you get anything extra for winning the battle?

If not, why bother with strong hideouts? Is it only to keep other competitors overall points down in the game?

It would seem only focusing on bonuses for destroying their hide and increasing your points would be money better spent.

I hope I'm wrong on this as I would prefer extra incentive to win, not just accumulate points.

Thanks for all the great info shared here.

[Exill]

I have few questions ! I just started playing this game for 2-3 days, and I am afraid my questions might sound noob/ dumb to you guys.

1) Is there any good guide for beginner? (I saw The "Best of the Best" Guides! thread, but some say those are out of date)

2) what is the best level to start camping? Is there any good guide for camping?

3) best way to goes up atk/ def stats without spending any gold (RL money) adding more Mafia & Joining
Syndicate ? any other ways available?

Cheer!

[Bala82]

Best of the best has all the information EVEN IF IT'S OUT OF DATE .

1) To be honest you need decided what you want out of the game.

2) Use this This guide for camping (http://www.funzio.com/forum/showthread.php?13829-Tortoise-guide-for-newbies.-Slow-and-steady.....&highlight=tortoise)

3) Boss event and saving your respect but joining a syndicate with all defence bonuses purchased also helps.

[Bala82]

I am thinking of replacing some of my low money building ( pizza and tattoo) with defence building ?

Good or bad idea ?

[the_brein]

I think you're better off buying decorations! Although your stats appear to increase with def buildings, mofos still attack me with impunity. I think a better approach, one that I've taken, is to have buildings on a schedule. Have buildings that payout at certain intervals where you know you can check in and collect. This way there is nothing to rob.

[Bala82]

Most of my buildings are on schedule but it always when i sleep that causes the problem :)

[bald zeemer]

There is some random variation, so if you're losing about 10% that's more or less normal. If they're attacking you and you lose consistently it's because you've wasted time upgrading defense buildings, and your defense is not really 162k.

Thanks Bald Zeemer. If I take away the defense from all my upgraded buildings it reduces to 159k and thats it. When I was attacked, I was unable to successfully defend even one fight. When I attacked, I was able to win only 50% fights. Could it be because the best 2500 weapons of my opponent bring to the battle more att and def as compared to my best 2500 weapons?

Also, skill points play a role too, isn't it? What is the logic involved there?

[bald zeemer]

Your attack and defense is the best 2500 (or whatever) weapons + lvl/100*10(skill pts), true building defense.

The old issue on android of all your weapon stats showing up, rather than top 2500 has been fixed, I believe (I'm iOS so I might be wrong here).

Two opponents both being able to beat each other (or unable to do so) can occur simply due to a focus on attack or defense, respectively.
Also the required attack to successfully rob is significantly lower than the required attack to successfully fight. I believe you require something along the lines of a 50% stat advantage to completely prevent being robbed by an opponent.

That is not true. If you are caught cheating you are banned, if you have an offensive name it will be changed to Alex.

My in game name is Alex because I set it as Alex at the start, it does not mean I am a cheat.

Upgrade the T-shirt stands, easy.

Compare: level 5 Italian restaurant ($2100/3hrs) --> level 6 Italian restaurant ($3080/3hrs) is a gain of $326.67/hr, and the upgrade will cost you $58K.

Upgrading level 2 T-shirt stand ($1700/18hrs) --> level 6 T-shirt stand ($9350/18hrs) will cost you almost the same price to upgrade (~$56K altogether) and take just slightly longer to upgrade (~40 hours compared to 28 hours for the Italian restaurant), except it will net you a gain of $425/hr. Plus you're going to get the full benefit of that more often than you would for the Italian restaurant, unless you are actually awake every 3 hours of the day. T-shirt stands are more likely to get robbed though, so you should know when to collect on them.

T-shirt stands are great at that level.

Edit: I don't have any ice cream stands so I wasn't familiar with them, but I agree with bald zeemer: you'll get a bigger boost to your IPH from the ice cream stands at a much cheaper cost to upgrade. Level 4 ($950/3hrs) --> level 6 ($2090/3hrs) will cost about $20K to upgrade, take 54 hours, and nets you a boost of $380/hr.

I have a question - I'm not a n00b, despite this being my first post, just taken a long time to join the Forum.

I have someone in my camper account, named Guumba, level 69, who is constantly attacking and robbing me for hundreds of thousands of dollars (I'm a no-banker).

Fair enough, there's just one thing... he's IN MY MAFIA.

I added him three days ago and he accepted, and he still robs me every day. When I click 'revenge' on the newsfeed each time he robs me, it says 'you can't attack players in your own mafia.' I can visit his hood even!!

Either this is a bug (Gree!!!) or someone has found a hack that lets them attack people within their own mafia.

Any suggestions?

[bald zeemer]

It's a necessary side effect of syndicates. If you find him through your rival list you'll be able to attack and rob.

[JBE]

No, I'm not saying he's in the same syndicate as me, I'm saying that we're friends - IE, he posted his code on my wall, I punched it in, we're connected, we can visit each other's hoods and get $100.

He is literally in the same Mafia as me, ie one of my 500. That's why I can't attack him...

[bald zeemer]

I understand you, and my response stands.

People in your syndicate won't turn up on your rival list, but everyone else, including those in your mafia, will. The reason for this is because of syndicates [programming requirements, etc, jargon jargon].

[Glycogen]

No, I'm not saying he's in the same syndicate as me, I'm saying that we're friends - IE, he posted his code on my wall, I punched it in, we're connected, we can visit each other's hoods and get $100.

He is literally in the same Mafia as me, ie one of my 500. That's why I can't attack him...

Remove him. It's not losing money for free.

Thank you for this post, as I am unable to post as a new member of the forum. :mad:

After attacking another player, I was browsing through my equipment used, and I noticed that my best equipment isn't being used. I haven't gone into depth as to whats missing in my gun/melee/armor quite yet, but I now that none of my looted vehicles, such as armored trucks/taxi cabs are being used. In fact, I'm only bringing in 47 vehicles despite having 239 vehicles. I am playing on an android, and have submitted a ticket, but have yet to hear back.

I haven't gone all out yet and charted out a list of my attack/defense scores, so is it just an image error and I am using my best equipment? Or is my loot gained from jobs not counting towards my scores? It seebe that only loot that I've gained from my syndicate or boss events or other various events are being used.

Any one else experiencing this? Suggestions?

Question about boss tiers

If I'm in tier 1 (level 19) and I'm fighting level 30 boss. If I level to 26 will it be a tier 2 level 30 boss?

[Jimmyj]

I have another question. I didn't create a funzio account until my crime city restarted and I put my old crime city code as the crime city code for the account. I was wondering if I logged into the funzio account on crime city would my game go back to normal or not? I would love to hear some output if I should try it or not.

Each henchmen that you have can only carry 9 items. One from each category I think. I have a question for you now. When did you send that ticket to support?

[Mr T Perfect]

It may have already been covered elsewhere in the thread.... but

at what player level do eb events start at??

i have just started in CC. been paying MW,KA and MQ for ages. and have been camping at level 3 for 2 weeks now to get the econ growing.

looking at previous events on other games - the lower levels actually have a chance of getting some good units.

so what player level do they all start at please?

This sounds suspicious to me. I've had this happen before, where one of my mafia showed up on my rival list, and I was able to visit their hood. If I went to attack anything (a player or building) it would give me the "this player is already too beat up!" error message (yes, even for the buildings), though it would subtract one stamina point each time, so I stopped trying to do it. There was definitely no "you can't attack your own mafia" error message, so I'm not sure I buy your story. I also went to my mafia list and visited that same person's hood from that list, just to verify that they were one in the same person, and not just two people sharing a name and avatar. Perhaps you're mistaken somewhere.

[bald zeemer]

I've intentionally looked for guys in my mafia on my rivals list to test this, and you can attack and rob them.

Please do not submit an ill-informed hacker ticket based on this.


Each henchmen that you have can only carry 9 items. One from each category I think. I have a question for you now. When did you send that ticket to support?

Each mafia member/henchman can carry 5 items, one each of gun, melee, explosive, armor and vehicle.
On Android the number of items reflects the number of unique items, so if you have 450 of one gun, and 50 of another then that would count as 2 in the "items used". It is unfortunate, but it is known and a ticket is unlikely to solve the issue.

The important thing to remember is that you are being given poor statistics, but that your attack and defense is not altered by this bug.
To demonstrate that fact, apply a simple logical test. If you are carrying 47 items into battle instead of the 500 you are meant to [figures are hypothetical], do you really think your true attack should be 10+X your shown attack?

Anyone know if there is a table that has how many xp is needed per level, or if there is some basic math to figure it out? Would help in planning level ups during boss event.

[bald zeemer]

Multiple tickets won't speed your resolution, and listening to people who don't know the fundamentals of the game won't help you understand the problem.

Just to clarify my previous answer: It's an android issue, it isn't hurting you. Move on.

I realize that although 57 equipment items are being used, I may have multiple of an item. However, below after looking at the pictures I added all the pictures of the cars that it showed and only 37 vehicles are being used when I have well over one hundred. Perhaps they just don't want to waste memory showing all the cars because earlier today hatchbacks were being shown as being used and now it's not, and I haven't gained but maybe one car.

As for the logical test, I am terrible at math and I'm not sure I fully understand what you meant. But I tend to be on the lower end when it comes to stats at my level after leveling up during the last syndicate event, and the fact that I just wanted to play i didn't have the patience. I have a/d of 5032/6458 - a lot of which is due to the recent syndicate and recent boss (which is my first boss event and i've done 14 times)

anyone know of a easy/beginner spreadsheet to maybe help me chart it up myself?

The attack screen only shows your top 45 items, not all items you take into battle.

[nocs00]

if i tried to kill a boss, and he killed me with a lesser than 5% of health... in the new fight - he will have full hp, or still 5%? :)

[Butt Futter]

If there is still time on the clock after the 25 minutes regen time then he will be at the health he was at when you died.

[nocs00]

If there is still time on the clock after the 25 minutes regen time then he will be at the health he was at when you died.

will be healt regen again'n'again to full after first 25 min health-regen?

[Bala82]

Currently Crime city doesn't health regeneration bonus

[nocs00]

Currently Crime city doesn't health regeneration bonus

no, i mean, when i was killed by a boss, and i after first 25 min i'll be healed for some health... and after another 25 min i will be healed again or not?
when i kill the boss he don't give me damage...so do I?..

[bald zeemer]

You take whatever you were sitting on, and regen at 1pt/min from there. So if you hit the boss and he doesn't hit you, you're good to go straight away. If you hit the boss on your last 1-2, then it's 98-9 minutes until you're full health.

[Glycogen]

I'm level 29 with about 4700 atk and 5400 def
I feel really weak right and some people my level have 10k stats
I have 350k in my bank and 10.9k iph. What should I buy to increase stats? I'm saving respect for NVB

[bald zeemer]

Camp out, use your cash to improve your iph.

RPs should go on NVB, YRB and Chain whip. Don't go crazy on any of them, though. Ballpark guess that 50-60 at the most of each.

If you haven't decked out your mafia with weapons, then slowly accumulate midrange casg weapons to fill the gap.

You need at least another 10k stats to consider moving on, I'm sure the pro-campers will have better details.

[robme]

Forgive me i'm a noob here. I read the walkthrough for the syndicate battles and made one of my members the defense leader. I can't find where or how to declare war on another syndicate. I am using a android device. Any Suggestion or maybe someone can tell me what i'm missing.

I'm pretty upset right now. I have been playing CC for over 9 months, invested more than I should have into it, and now it's lost. I had to format my phone and figured, "hey, it won't take more than a day to recover my account." 2 people in my syndicate had the same thing happen and were back within 24 hours. Not me though. It's been 3 days so far and not even a reply saying they're working on it. Then I come on here and see a user named justsimply created a post saying his account was lost the day after mine, and his is fixed in 1 day! I even came on here and searched for what to do if my account was lost before I even sent GREE a message...I included all my information to speed things up so they wouldn't have to waste time asking me for it. And this is fir cc and mw, I have tickets for both and heard nothing about either. Should I send another message? Is there some special keyword I left out that gets your account fixed faster?

[BASEGOD]

How come lately it seems that people with way more mafia members than me have been attacking me? I'm elvel 60 and I'm a semi-camper and have around 250 mafia members and in my rivals list no one over 300 mafia shows up. I don't lose often but within the past couple weeks I've been getting robbed and attacked by people with 600, 700 and 800 mafia that are a lot stronger than me

[bald zeemer]

They changed the interaction between mafia number and rival list sometime around when syndicates came out. Most likely in an attempt to foil people hiding with high or low mafia counts, or at least make it more difficult.

[bald zeemer]

Forgive me i'm a noob here. I read the walkthrough for the syndicate battles and made one of my members the defense leader. I can't find where or how to declare war on another syndicate. I am using a android device. Any Suggestion or maybe someone can tell me what i'm missing.

[GumbyCC]

Does anyone buy ballistic crates? are they any good? what are some examples of rare prizes?

[bald zeemer]

If you press the blue (i) on the crates it'll show you the 9 available items.

The top rare is a gun with pretty amazing defense stats. For attack stats this crate set is fairly weak. However, it does have a reasonable explosive as a common. You need to decide whether ~100atk explosives and high defense is what will fit in your inventory.

[BigMoney]

I asked this in another topic, but it's probably better suited here: does anyone know the percentage frequencies for the Rare/Uncommon/Common items in boss events? I imagine it changes as you get to higher boss levels, based on the fact that most of my recent drops have been the nicer ones.

[Madmike32]

This may sound like a silly question but do attacks and raids count in the pvp event or just attacks?

[bald zeemer]

Just attacks.
If we ever get a PvP event again.

I have a question about mafia.

Does the mafia members stat's play any role in changing mine?

As in if I add a player of level 1 with 1 AP and 1 DEF. VS If i add a player of level 140 with 20k+AP and 20k+ DEF.

Would the level 140 add more to my attack and defence than the level 1?

And is there any point in ever having more than 500 Members in your mafia ?

Level does nothing to your stats. You can have 100 mafia members at level 10 or level 100. It would be the same. It only factors in the equipment used.

[BigMoney]

I have a question. How does someone get more than two of a money building? I can post screenshots if needed. I don't think the person is a cheater, since their stats were nothing special and nor was their hood, but they had three Pawn Shops. Was this a glitch, was it allowed a long time ago, or what?

[the_brein]

I know that special promotion buildings allow you to make three. For example, I have three Frosty Hideouts. They were a limited time building obtained with gold. I know of no way someone could have three pawn shops. But then again, I'm relatively new to the game.

Used to be a very old glitch that let you do it, I think it was a Wifi glitch.

[flickster]

is it normal that your earnings for money buildings do not accumulate over time even when not robbed. EG souvenir store earns $30 per 3hrs, so after 24hrs I expect $30 * 24/3 =$240

but instead it remains at $30 no matter how long without accumulating, and I need to collect said $30 before building starts to generate any more money.

is this a feature of the game cos atm i only play once or twice a day but have acquired high frequency collection money buildings.

Hi there Flickster. You have to collect the building before it starts it's cycle again. so for the souvenir store you have to collect it every 3 hours to get a perfect cashflow.

But it's up to your playstyle if you get all collections.

If you can only get in twice every day then 12 hour buildings is the best really. and 24 and 48 ofc.

[savneetj]

Does anybody know why this stratergy game is turning into gamble game. When the game is based on luck im sure lot of people lose interest In it. I followed so many different instruction on how to go for 10th items with or without gold but never got one in any of events. For example this event I got 8 in first hour and stuck on 8 since than even opening every hour. Does this prove its based on luck cause if that is the case than my luck must be really bad .

You do realise they need to make money in this game to pay the developers ?. It's a business

[soggy]

I'd be interested in finding out if any good syndicate strategies or general instructions are posted. particularly around declaring battles. thx all



I have few questions ! I just started playing this game for 2-3 days, and I am afraid my questions might sound noob/ dumb to you guys.

1) Is there any good guide for beginner? (I saw The "Best of the Best" Guides! thread, but some say those are out of date)

2) what is the best level to start camping? Is there any good guide for camping?

3) best way to goes up atk/ def stats without spending any gold (RL money) adding more Mafia & Joining
Syndicate ? any other ways available?

Cheer!

[Bala82]

if any good syndicate strategies

It really depend on how smart your leader is if they have no plan than they are screwed .

Plan for battle
1) Allocate players to certain battle
2) Find out what time zone majority of members in ( Europe or America)
3) Pick a good defence leader
4) Use strongest player to take down the wall
5) Use weakest player to attack player with low mafia ( if you have 100 mafia and you see someone with 10 mafia attack away)

[flickster]

thanks kiory, thought it was some kinda of bug. As you can tell I only just started playing yesterday hence my ignorance. Will use ur approach and level up my lower frequency builds.

I have a reasonable defence for my level but have invested almost nothing in defence buildings. Does that mean I'm hard to attack but easy to rob or do my personal defence stays protect the buildings too?

[Killshot-CC]

I have a reasonable defence for my level but have invested almost nothing in defence buildings. Does that mean I'm hard to attack but easy to rob or do my personal defence stays protect the buildings too?

Your personal defense protects your buildings, too. Defense buildings are ok to increase your defense stats, but they're not as effective as defense gained from items. An item's defense is exactly what is listed (plus any modifiers) whereas a building's stated defense doesn't match its effective defense; this is especially true of upgraded defense buildings. There are other posts and tables that will allow you to see a building's effective defense at any level. They still provide protection, but just not as much as the "stats" tab tells you. If you have the space and the time, build defense buildings, but they're a poorer investment than items.

[size16]

Thanks for the clarification killshot - much appreciated.

[size16]

My mafia size has hit the 400 mark. A lot of them of carrying crap stuff across all areas - guns, armour, melee etc.
Am I more effective in attacks if I increase my mafia still more - stats seems to go up with every new member, or is it better to stop recruiting and equip my current posy with better ****? I'm still winning most sensible robs / attacks I undertake so not sure what's the best policy.
Thanks

[Bala82]

It's quality over quantity better to have small Mafia with good weapons than big mafia with average weapons.

Please remember just because you add more mafia doesn't mean you use all of them if it's cap per level.

If you below level 80 having more than 400 won't use all 400.

Each level multiply by 5 eg A level 50 can use max of 250 Mafia anything more give you inflated stats.

[the_brein]

If you're camping in someone's hood, waiting for your stamina to refill so you can hit them again, will you see when their buildings are ready to collect and thus rob? Or do you need to somehow leave and come back to force a refresh?

[TZora]

u need to leave and visit again .. otherwise ppl will keep camping in others' hoods forever :)

I believe due to language and or/threats I have no idea why and he has not shared the reason however, I would like to know if the ban is only for a certain number of days or is it permanent? secondly, Is there a way to assign someone else to lead the syndicate so that we don't lose anything we have already donated?

[the_brein]

u need to leave and visit again .. otherwise ppl will keep camping in others' hoods forever :)

Man, that's what I was trying to do!!! Oh we'll. thanks for your wisdom.

Is the 40% off gold sale coming back before the battle.... ????

[the_brein]

Is the 40% off gold sale coming back before the battle.... ????

I asked the same question. General consensus was no. But then again, that was before the 50 free gold from today. Maybe less people will be buying good and Gree will need a way to lure spenders.

Does anyone know what happened to FB Crime city maintenance and Funzio's app itself ???
I been quite long away and now back on, I see only CC mobile platforms-based apps, I dont get it at all !! Is there any way to log in wit the same as FB account name to mobile CC app ??? If no, i sure to quit then (((

[bald zeemer]

FB CC shut down months ago.

[YurBaddestDream]

FB CC shut down months ago.

clear as a bell as of now, buddy! What I meant is WHY DID They terminate it and IS THERE A WAY to use my ex-FB account data to log into mobile version. Cos I bn like the highest lvl wit so many treasures up the sleeve. That means I aint guna do this from the very zero again, if not usin my FB acc.

[bald zeemer]

Do a search/trawl through the announcements page. I doubt many people here really paid much attention to it.

FB CC and mobile CC are actually fairly different games, so I doubt they did a direct transfer. I think there was some sort of bonus given to FB players who transferred over.

[the_brein]

Would it be possible for Gree to put a date on people's profiles to indicate when they started playing? I think this could dissuade/confirm cheaters. If everyone sees when your account was started, they'd see you've been camping and your stats are legit....

someone can tell me :
i have X numbers of spots on my syndicate , but last are free

You might go to war with a syndicate with 20 players, 60 players, I think it is matched to your syndicate rank and not the actual number of people in your syndicate.

[bald zeemer]

Matching appears to be based on aggregate stats, +/- random gree factor (cf., fight club vs NGF)

In the store- specials menu- I bought an extra Mafia member for 17 gold and my mafia number did not increase by 1. Why? What did I waste my gold on?

[TheUmp13]

Does upgrading a defense building help you in a fight or just when someone robs you?

[bald zeemer]

TheUmp: neither. Don't upgrade defense buildings.

KidRed: Don't buy henchmen. There are many sites, and a sub-forum here dedicated to add codes.

You're allowed 5 mafia per level. Level 10 has 50, level 25 has 125 and so on... If you're already at that mad, adding doesnt do anything for that level. And don't waste the time with that. Just add the codes from here and save your gold.


Does upgrading a defense building help you in a fight or just when someone robs you?
Helps it someone attacks you. Not if you attack them.

[kid red]

Ah, thanks guys. I thought the add mafia added the number you can bring to a fight, not your overall total. Arggh, I have like 700 mafia, but only bring 330 to a fight based on my level. I thought that would give me 331. Those things really need to be explained in the app so you don't waste gold by assuming incorrectly.

[panty sniffer]

I have a question about mafia.

Does the mafia members stat's play any role in changing mine?

As in if I add a player of level 1 with 1 AP and 1 DEF. VS If i add a player of level 140 with 20k+AP and 20k+ DEF.

Would the level 140 add more to my attack and defence than the level 1?

And is there any point in ever having more than 500 Members in your mafia ?

NO, the level of any of your mafia members doesn't effect your attk or def rating in any way. The number of mafia members you have matters. Other factors are how much equipment and the atk/def ratings they are all equipped with. You can utilize 5 mafia per your level plus added mafia obtained as prizes.

[TheUmp13]

TheUmp: neither. Don't upgrade defense buildings.

KidRed: Don't buy henchmen. There are many sites, and a sub-forum here dedicated to add codes.

Does ant defense help? Are you saying it does nothing? Why can you upgrade to level 10?

[bald zeemer]

It doesn't do nothing, just very, very little.

The extra cash you get from upgrading money buildings will allow you to buy items that will actually help.

Upgrade time is the limited, and valuable resource in the game. Use it wisely.

Is possible to have 500 doomsday frags and 500 diseased grenades without cheating?

It's not possible to have anywhere near those numbers of items without blatant cheating.

In the grand scheme of things, what good are walls in a syn battle? They might keep the opposing syn from getting the 50% bonus points but it does nothing to get US points. SO why bother having them? Let other syn's battle eachother's walls while we save brick and $ on bonuses. Everyone getting a turn to obtain more points from us will even out and be inconsequential in the long run. Right?

Is this sound logic? Maybe walls do something Else I'm not aware of.

[Chips]

Sound logic, unless you battle a team you are directly competing against for a spot.

[The Real Bosses]

walls - psychological support, not more

[panty sniffer]

Thanks, I'm kinda trying to convince my Syn leader to not purchase walls and use bricks and cash for bonuses instead. It's tough to make a convincing plea when everyone else is buying walls. Just making sure there was no real benefit to us having any that I wasn't aware of.

I didn't think there was any other purpose to bricks other than to build hideouts. I think the validity of your strategy depends on where you're hoping to place. I can't imagine having 0 hideouts being a good idea unless you're shooting for like Top 1000-4000 or something, since any other way you're just helping too many other teams climb above you. At the very least buy the cheap hideouts, to at least discourage free players from smashing your hideout to get double points. I could be wrong (since I'm not a syndicate leader), but isn't a max hideout somewhere in the neighborhood of $3.5mil and 110 bricks? The bricks have no other use as far as I know, and 20 max hideouts could buy you potentially one bonus (unless your syndicate is really low on bonuses, as those defense bonuses in the beginning are really cheap).

tl;dr I think you could save your money on hideouts if you're shooting for Top 1500-4000, but anything above that and it seems like you're shooting yourself in the foot by having no hideout whatsoever.

[panty sniffer]

I didn't realize that the only purpose of bricks was to build hideouts. It makes sense though. I'm not a syn leader. Good info.

If you're thinking of buying any bonuses other than syndicate member increase, building payout or influence bonus, then you are thinking wrong. Hideouts are very useful, because otherwise you are giving other teams a piggyback above you.

The atk and defense bonuses are basically just perks for being in a syndicate. The job payout bonus is basically just there so that you can push a button.

[Kiory]

I have a question about where i should progress to increase my stats even more.

I started the game without the knowledge that leveling was bad. :) so im currently at level 150.
My stats:

Att: 33793
Def: 37803
Mafia Members: 432
IPH: 408262
# of weapons: 2397
# of Armours: 1019
# of Vehicles: 492


And im not sure where to go from now.
I am trying to gather and use as much Respect as possible but is there any specific items that are bettre for me to buy with respect?
And where would a good place be for me to farm items using energy?

Any help will be appreciated!

[bald zeemer]

Farming will level you quickly, best to hold off until you have your stats closer to where you want them. If you do farm, farm explosives. You have TLC's available in Cartel Compound.

Essentially you always want to get the best respect/cash weapons you can - even if they're relatively inefficient now, in the long run you'll be much better off. Since you have only 492 vehicles it's a safe bet that this is a very weak category for you, so you might want to focus on that for a while. Long-run, as a free player you'll be wanting to stock up on M1A1s, which I believe unlock at level 165. They are around $12.5 mil a pop, so working on your iph is a must. To that end, focus more on RP weapons than on cash weapons, sink your cash into upgrading, and when you have the iph and the level then start accumulating the M1A1s.

Ideally you want a complete inventory, so you can see where you're weakest, and hence where you need to improve. To do it initially takes a fair amount of work, but once you've got it it's quite easy to keep up to date.

I can´t seem to find the m1A1's you mentioned in my list. but either way 165 level is pretty far off as i am currently trying not to level more than i need to. I have been using my respect mainly on explosives and vehicles for the moment buying the Street vengance for 3000 respect per vehicle Att: 40 def: 37. is there a bettre choice than this vehicle atm or just keep getting that.

[bald zeemer]

I can't say for sure without checking your inventory, but that seems the right move.

Stay away from RP explosives for the time being. They are good, but incredibly expensive, and you can boost your stats a long, long way with other RP items before these should be a focus.

The M1A1 is the tank (vehicle) with 70-odd atk.

You have a few things going for you. Firstly, syndicates will be able to give you very large % stat boosts. Secondly, if you camp out for a while then the scratchers should actually help, a little.
Make smart use of open-10s (bosses too, but you will be quite hamstrung at top-tier with your stats) - use low-XP trigger events (robbing laundromats, essentially) and you can accumulate some fairly decent weapons that will also help. Even if you don't get the 10th item, the open-10s are giving you 4 quite reasonable stat items for free.

ok. thanks for the helpfull tips. will do what i an with what i have and hope for the best :) bit of luck with the events. trying to get as many bosses down as possible with my stats (would guess close to 20 or so) and keep farming them Respect :)

If i were to invest a few bucks into the game to get gold what would be a good use of them? raise iph or buying crates for weapons?

[bald zeemer]

If you are spending a limited amount 1-off, then get the top gold buildings (Gentleman's Club, Pirate Tavern, Rock Cafe, and if you have enough, Palm Hotel). They will get you a long way to affording top cash weapons. Don't get any other gold buildings, these are by far the best, and limited gold beyond these is definitely best used for crates.

If you are planning on a small but ongoing amount, then split between the buildings and crates (not the current set - wait until a set with commons just under 100 stats comes up). Fair warning, seeing your stats skyrocket with crates can be addictive, and you might turn into a bigger gold spender than you expected. ;)
