Attacking players

In the early game, you want maximum offense bonus and low mafia power. Attacking players is how you make your money, and it’s good xp.

So, your goals are 50 muscle men and eventually snipers with heavy sniper rifles. But don’t level mafia mansion beyond what’s needed for snipers.

 Keep mafia power low, maybe below 500k, until you’ve managed to upgrade buildings far enough that you have a new source of income. Because once mafia power rises above some level, attacking players is no longer a good source of income.



Good alternative sources of cash: Cars, greenhouse, money press, money vans, nightclub

High mafia power players tend to only attack others for experience, not money. They target high levels for the increased experience reward. A high level might also check the high scores before attacking, to ensure the target’s mafia power and hospital levels are low.

High level hospitals are advantageous for defending from attack.

If I had to do it over again, I’d level everything but the mansion to ~15 before leveling mafia power above 500k or so.

Combat was recently updated somehow in game. I don’t know what was changed.

The way to search for players to attack is to slowly unequip weapons. The game matches you against others of a similar mafia power. Paying to skip an attack is rarely necessary for a low mafia power player. At higher mafia power, there are fewer targets; and the game might match you against much higher opponents even after adjusting weapons. So skipping is necessary at higher mafia power but not lower.

Again, combat was recently updated, so changes could have been made. .
