Development Update #9 – Combat Simulation, Family Renaming, and Launch Effects

The combat simulation has now been introduced. You can get a first impression of it in the gameplay trailer on our shop page. In addition, the families have been renamed as follows:

• Russo Syndicate --> Bratva Volchya

• Colombo Organization --> Los Hijos del Trueno

• Moretty Crime Family --> Ferraro Family

• The Family --> The O'Callahan Syndicate

The starting effects per family are as follows:

• Bratva Volchya --> $2,000 starting capital (normally $1,000)

• Los Hijos del Trueno --> 7 soldiers at the start (normally only 3 soldiers)

• Ferraro Family --> No bribery costs for the first 15 rounds.

• The O'Callahan Syndicate --> 500 respect at the start (normally only 100)

• Yakuza Clan --> 2 NAPs with other families in the first 15 rounds (normally none)

• Triad Brotherhood --> The best lawyers are free for the first 30 rounds.

Minor improvements:

• When the player hovers the mouse over a building, the relevant information (name, owner, etc.) will be displayed after two seconds.

• When the player has selected a building to attack, it is highlighted.

• Full screen is now possible, i.e., the city can be displayed without the menu bar.

• A % display has been added to the volume bar.

• When the player attacks another building, the probability of victory in battle is displayed.

Next steps:

• Add a suitable name pool for crew members per family.

• Implement relationships between crew members.

• Demotion of a family member

  • as punishment

  • as a loyalty test

• Bribery adjustment:

  • You can only bribe the mayor if you have a respect value of 250 or higher.

  • You can only bribe the governor if you have a respect value of 500 or higher.
