Top 25 vs Top 3,2,1

[KillaJackz]

Lol am I the only one who would much rather have a 13640 attack bonus, 7345 defense bonus and 10% more attack from guns as to the 3,2 and 1 prizes? Lol I think those top 3 prizes SUCK.

The first prize is rubbish, the second prize gives you a significant edge over your opponents during fights and the third prize is a beast.

10% increase to an attack is a huge bonus. Lets say your attack is 1 million then its an extra 100k on top of that for that prize alone. 2 million attack gets 200k, 3 million 300k and so on. These prizes stack over time so as you get more weapons then your attack increases on top of the items you receive.

Make no mistake the prize for third place is the best prize in the next war. All the more reason to go Rogue

Yep, mafia attack is by far and away the best modifier, save for something like an energy mod or something. Building payout is pretty good too I guess, seeing as how LTBs area nice way to boost your stats for free.

Edit: I was going to say that perhaps he prefers the Top 25 items to the 10% mafia attack bonus because maybe the Top25 items would add more to his stats now than a +10% mafia attack boost would (if forced to pick one or the other). But the +10% mafia attack modifier will always be useful, as it is resistant to stat inflation. Whereas the same can not be said of some 1k-6k items, which might be irrelevant by next year...

I see ^^ I'd agree the attack bonus is boss but the other two, idk. -5 mafia would barely do anything at high levels because most people have well over the 500 mafia

You only use 500 mafia in battle. If an opponent has 500+ mafia, then a -5 mafia mod reduces your opponent's mafia to 495. This isn't that great, as it is their weakest 5 mafia members no longer being used, but it is an effect that is cumulative over time (FC members already have -X mafia mods, so this could be -7 to -12 opponent's mafia etc). My weakest items are somewhere in the 20s, so if someone used this mod on my my defense would be 5 mafia members * 5 weapons * 20 stats/weapon = 500 points lower. That's really ****ty actually. I don't know what my bottom items are, but even if it subtracted a few thousand from my defense, that's not that big of an impact when we are talking about players with 1mil+ attacks.

After starring hard at this post after it confusing me I realised that the title should be top 10 vs top 1,2,3. The prize you said is the top ten prize not the top 25.

The -mafia item is terrible (though not as bad as first place). Making your opponent unable to bring their worst 5 items in each category is crap. However, at this rate, in a few years, when you're fighting FC, you'll be bringing 0 mafia into battle and they'll be making billions on their jobs payout .

The top 3 item is one of the best items in the entire game. It'll boost our stats by probably 125k per building. I would prefer it over a cost modifier, a double upgrade modifier, a speed building modifier, just about anything. It really is a ridiculously good item.... So let us know if you're interested

i already have -3 from opponents, from skullcrusher flail (top 10 PvP Event - old style) and Last Emperor (top 750 prize chinatown throwdown), so 2nd prize wouldn't be all that bad.

Would like to hear from Baldie on this...I could see his worst item being in the 100/100 range...so 5 * 5 * 100 = 2,500for the top guys, it's still a pretty crap item by itself, but I guess it's power is from stacking...like someone said in a year or two, FC could have -50 or -100 mafia to battle, that could become I huge difference maker for them.

For reference, I have stats of 935k/925k and my worst mafia member brings weapons that total 150 / 129.

lol yeah I just realized I made this mistake.

[KillaJackz]

I lol'd. Thanks for this

Lol I'm a bit on the slow side when it comes to crime city.

The importance of the second place prize is definitely its stack-ability with the previous mafia reduction modifiers. Most people in the top 1-2 syndicates already have decent amount mafia reduction modifiers as well as additional mafia modifiers. It adds up nicely.

I thought I read on the forum here somewhere that the number 1 spot also gets prizes 2 an 3, for coming in first?
