It doesn't require lots of items but it does require lots of russian money. I'm on episode 2 chapter 3 level 2 mastyery and 1 job I have to buy 13,200,000 worth of items which means doing a lot of unnecessary jobs or waiting a week for my 2 lowly businesses to earn enough for me to do it.

I feel your pain, Josh. I've gotten the 3rd business which definitely generates more cash, but it's still very slow going. You need not only a lot of money to purchase the items for the jobs, but it takes a crapload of money to upgrade the 3rd business, too. I definitely find myself going back and repeating previously completed jobs trying to get enough money to unlock the new stuff. My leveling up rate has slowed dramatically in Russia.

Mainer22 - 2009-10-01 5:10 PM I'm not impressed with Russia.  I'm basically just going through the motions right now.  My heart isn't in it.  What's wrong?  Am I in danger of curing this addiction?  I'm so scared.  Hold me.


It's cause its sooooo long and slow. It will probably take me at least another month and a half to finish it. Probably more even.


Is it harder than Boss and Underboss?  Because if so...that's just mean!


Kind of. It doesn't require lots of items but it does require lots of russian money. I'm on episode 2 chapter 3 level 2 mastyery and 1 job I have to buy 13,200,000 worth of items which means doing a lot of unnecessary jobs or waiting a week for my 2 lowly businesses to earn enough for me to do it.

thats the reason that i've avoided starting russia.  All i've been doing there is collecting my take, and asking for help with the job since it opened.  I figured I could make good use of my time bu getting more guerilla squads, tnt, and planes in Cuba until I had a decent stash.




Even if you do this I think you will be limited by your energy. Either way you will be roadblocked pretty quickly IMO.

Man they have really changed up the game for the new people.  The properties are gone??  It now has rackets?  And when fighting you can't look at the other persons profile.

Really??  What's a racket? are they basically the same as properties? Not looking at a person's profile isn't really a big deal to me, I never pay attention to it anyway.  



It's more like a buisness in Cuba.  BUT now there is another item to spend skill points on, influence.  So now you have health, energy, stamina and influence.

So you spend money to expand, or increase the number of shake downs.  Then you have to spend influence points to actually start the buisness/shake down.

Ok, maybe I'm overlooking it, but where do you see the Influence option?  I still just have health, energy, and stamina.  I still have all of my properties, but they did take the Robbing option away a couple of weeks ago.

this is about the absolute last thing i should be spending time on. so of course i just sent out a bunch of requests. i spent a lot of time w/ a mafia of 6, so i dumped a lot of points into defense early on while lacking any coherent strategy. currently working on Capo Level 2, soon to be robbing electronic stores again for untraceable cell phones. and just building up businesses in cuba and fighting in moscow.

The mafia size really helps.  In 2 weeks I've gone from 48 members to 270 members.  I went from dying once a day, to only be fought once or twice a day.

I'm at 383 mafia and it has sort of stagnated.  Not getting many more added.

Level 141 now, finally have a decent energy level at 475.  Gonna get it to 500 and then change my focus back to attack and defense.  I'm starting to lose fights to people with less mafia than me (which is odd since I do have a bunch of bad azz weapons and armor/vehicles).

I'm still plugging away at Boss and Underboss for the first mastery, but I spent a bit of energy over in Russia and beat the first round of Episode 1 and beat Dmitri.  Think I'll go back and focus on NY again.  I did do a lot of the higher jobs in Cuba to get the better loot though.

If you get to 501, you really don't get messed with much.  Also, no one EVER robs me any more.  PLUS, I can fight 99% of the poeple with less than 501 and win.

Yeah, that's kind of what I did.  I had to up my energy enough to at LEAST not lose any energy if I didn't log in for 24 hours.  I think that comes out to 610...but I capped it at 600 for now.  Until I get the $$$$ achievements I would like to stick to that.  So now I am going back and upping my attack/defense.

I am currently taking a break from Cuba to get to the Russian level that lets you sit there and request help attacking some dude and apparently this gets you $3M Rubles every time or something like that?  Lara was telling me.  She suggested this because you need SO much money in Russia.

Cuba is definitely going faster than Boss/Underboss went!  But I am guessing the higher Cuba tiers will be nearly as tough as Boss/Underboss.

I like to keep my energy at a level that I can level up twice a day.  That means I level up first thing in the morning and use all my energy to get almost half way to the next level.  Use my energy boost I get every 24 hours to get me to the NEXT level.  Use that (so again, I'm halfway to the next level).

During the the next 24 hours, I can earn enough energy (with help from the golden thone) and do enough fights that I can finish up the next morning and start all over.  So every morning, I move up two levels.

Cuba goes REALLY fast, except for the last one.  Mastering all three is taking almost as much time as underboss.

It would go faster if I had more energy...but I really want the $$$ achievements and that will be easier with lower energy.

Oh well...I'll just keep plugging away and hope people keep sending me Inside Tips.
