The rival list will be populated based primarily on relative strength, but also takes level,IPH,mafia size, and a few other factors into account.


Defense buildings will be improved!

Remember those things? We will soon be scaling them better to match the rise in relative stats that has happened over the past year.


New Scratcher prizes!

We're working on rolling out some new fancy items to scratch at!


Also, if you weren't already in the know, we released expansion levels 31-40 with goals last week. That means your hood can be even bigger!




Please note: Not all of these (with the exception of the expansions) are out yet, but they are all confirmed and will be added to the game!
Why am I cynical?

1. Rival list changed a couple of days ago and now I can only see my own lvl and one lvl below! - this is grees ploy to make robbing more difficult so that you use real cash to buy in game cash ....

2. Improve defense buildings, this is supposed to be good? YES, for gree. As defense increases you will need to improve you attack ... Thus spending more gold for LTQ etc to increase your attack to counter the increase in defense stats ...

3. Scratcher, ummm yes please explain how that is a good thing? Obviously no player is foolish enough to drop 20 for the current prizes. They looked at the data and found 1 sale in the last year, so increase the prizes so that players spend more gold on it. The prizes will never be as good as the LTQ/SLTQ and the drop rate will be worse than the 10 snow brick we were all looking for ....

4. Expand your hood to buy those LTB buildings, that you cannot finish ( unless you were lucky enough yo have big modifiers) and thus spend more gold to finish them. Oh yeah, more space for the defense buildings we've been promised ...

New stuff indeed ... To help gree make more money ... No real benefit to players ...
