FB Mafia Wars Support Group (Page 7)

I've tried that!  I just logged in as you and used the M button to get in and it didn't give me the screen.

you need a certain number of those in order to do those jobs.  move your cursor over the item and click it, should tell you how many you need to buy and at what cost. 

And some of them you can't buy...you can only either get them from doing another job via direct earn or looting.  If it doesn't let you buy them then doing a job to get them applies...

How much does everyone make per time period on their properties?  I'm up at about $140M, but at that paltry a sum, how does anyone EVER get the $1T or $999T achievements????

I think I heard that once upon a time people were able to cheat the system and get more money...which is probably why those achievements are out there.  If my calculations are correct, if you make $100M every 54 minutes, it would take weeks and weeks to get to $1T....

I make $2,277,795/hour.  I had a lot of people robbing me, so I sold my higher value properties.  I currently own 18 abandoned lots, 10 commercial blocks, 51 prime downtown lots, 21 beachfront properties, 23 Mafia Mike's, 194 rent houses, 134 Italian restaurants, 133 apartment complexes, and 168 value marts.  I might not be bringing in a ton of money, but I also don't get robbed anymore, which means I don't spend a ton of money repairing/protecting properties.

that's one way to avoid being a robbery target.  when I'm looking at the list of choices for robbery victims, i go first by the ones that own casinos - don't even bother attacking if they don't own any.  then i look at the size of their mafia and pick on the small and weak.

the other way to avoid being a robbery target is to goto the MW forums, the add me thread.  you can really build up your mafia quickly over the course of a few days to the point where you'll rarely get attacked.  as others have suggested above, you can then simply unfriend them on FB once you've added them to your mafia.  best of both worlds and you get to enjoy all the aspects of the game instead of doing the work-around that you're doing right now.

What level are you?

Does anyone get the declare war thing?

Hitting a couple other things brought up, I get $142,739,940 every hour.

I used to have a lot of all the properties. When I rob, I scan the page for people that have all the icons, which means they have casinos and it's faster to scan for number of icons then actual type of icon, then look at mafia size. If there are no good targets then I go back and look at the people with fewer properties to see if any have casinos and have a small enough mafia. So going off my logic, I sold off my rent houses and Italian restaurants and I have found that I am getting robbed far less often and it barely made a dent in my income. I think it is almost as effective as having a butt load of cheap properties, and maintains a high income.

I'm going for the $1T achievement now. I've been at it since late last week some time and just got over $25B. It's going to take a long time.

High 360's I think,... I don't think I hit the 170's yet

just looked it up... I've got a boat load of properties 400 + on the 3-4 higher producing ones and 1400+ on just one of the smaller ones only

I make just over $211 Million each hour.
I own 298 Casinos
333 Hotels
and 350 + Lower level businesses. 
I am almost halfway through the 1 Trillion effort.

Hmmm...interesting theory.  But I think you may be the minority.  I scan for having casino's first then for mafia size.  So even if they had a shorter line of properties I would still see a casino and hit them if their mafia was small enough.

I still maintain that the best way to avoid being robbed/attacked is to always keep your health below 20.  Which is the ONLY reason right now I am putting any points into stamina.  Unfortunately I put too many into health and even running through ALL of my stamina points doesn't deplete it entirely.  So I need to up my stamina so I always maintain the ability to reduce my health below 20.

I was hoping that getting my mafia into triple digits (just hit 104) would help on the attacking front.  Because it's easy to scan for mafia's less than 100 on the fight page...those two digit ones really stick out.  It takes a little bit more time to discern the lower triple digits from the higher triple digits.

As for money...I was going to stop at $100M/54 minutes and try to build up the trillion, but I decided it would take too long.  I'm doing some quick excel calculating....And even making $1B every pay period it would still take more than a month to get to $1T.  How does anyone ever get to $999T??????  I guess I had better keep buying properties...at least as you buy more of them it starts to snowball...the more you buy the more money you make, the faster you can buy more properties.

Bingo.. Some times it's a hassle I'll log on about twice a day and have a crapload of money to spend.. it will be nice to come back from a vacation and see how much I have though.

I hate the bribe ratio in cuba though to buy all the stuff you need for jobs plus the new tier they added I'm at 75% bribe rate. so if I make a million on a job I pay out 3/4th of it.. sucks... but realistic I guess

Robbing only is supposed to allow 60 people to rob you per mafia.  But that doesn't always seem to be the case.  Fighting allows up to 501.

I'm up to 60 mafia now and can do some more damage when fighting.  Makes life a lot easier!

Cuba is funny.  It's like they realized that money became pointless in NY and went totally the opposite way for Cuba.  It's nearly impossible to quickly gain cash in Cuba.  I don't like that the amount you can make via the businesses is essentially capped.  Unless they add more businesses you can only make a certain amount per hour...no matter how much more time/money you put into it.  And you pretty much HAVE to log in once a day to sell your stuff or you stop earning.  Unlike NY where you earn whether you play or not.

I think the "clue as to the next expansion" is in the title of the last job in that new Cuba tier...RUSSIA.

But if they keep expanding this fast I will never get all the jobs/tiers done!  I have barely TOUCHED Cuba!  Hopefully once I get the Golden Throne it will help me move through jobs faster.  I'll probably do Underboss next to finish out NY then hit Cuba.

You can bring as many people to rob as you have leveled up to.  So if you are at level 101 you can bring 101 mafia members.  But I THINK that the person you rob can use up to their level in defense...anyone have verification on that?  If you try to rob someone with 200 people can they defend with 200?

I thought I had already added you Fatdoggy.  Just sent a request to you!

Well, this IS the MW support group....you can see that we all have a problem.

I'll check and see if you're in my mafia tonight...but I think you are.

I have noticed that with the larger mafia size (56) my properties do not get robbed near as much as before.

Really, the way to avoid being attacked/robbed is to keep your health under 20...

I'm not understanding what keeping my health below 20 will get me.  Can you explain?
