mafia wars tips and tricks

Grow the Family

If your enemy's mafia is larger than yours, odds are he will win in a fight, even if you are a higher level. If their mafia is smaller, odds are you will win again even if your level is lower than the enemy. Grow your mafia to 501 and then keep adding.Your mafia size should be the equivalent of your level or larger. Unlike fights (up to 501) the amount of mafia members that can help is equal to your level. Having less mafia members then your level you are a target having more members you become a less attractive target.

Ensure your mafia is equipped

Mafia members are only as strong as the weapons, armor and transport you give them. Make sure every mafia member has the best weapons, armors, and vehicles you can afford. This only applies until you reach 501 and then it is only important to keep up with Mafia Mikes and special weapons offered on the home page.

Level up as fast as you can players at higher levels pick on the weaker. Why? Because it is not worth the stamina. Fighting yields more experience and has a chance to drop the best weapons, vehicles, and job items that players need.

Players do jobs for money rather than rob. If you are powering up you will find it hard to keep your mafia size equal to your level. The solution is simple - if you can't keep your mafia size equal to your level add your self to one of the many email lists or work the forums for adding members.

You will get hit listed and robbed frequently if you anger other players. Now you may or may not mind this depending on your playing style. Be warned grudge matches occur often.

Increase the Wealth. It is best to plan purchases before or during jobs so that you do not have to use banked money as it is already hit by the ten % fee, save bank funds for rainy days.

Using Points Strategically means planning to use energy packs after you have leveled up and used your allotted points.

Lottery

You can play up to 50 tickets a week. You get one free ticket every day, and you may buy tickets for 5 godfather points each. Simple math says it takes quite some time to collect the full lotto collection set, for an unkown reward . None of the other rewards that exist are that large, while 1000 godfather points looks good (apparently doled out at a meager 10 a week), the odds of matching all 5 are akin to winning the real lottery.

Bank your money in Cuba

When you are injured in a fight, don't go to hospital on Mafia wars Cuba. To save Pesos fly back to NY and heal.

Gifts

Trade gifts back and forth to earn awards

Fights

The best way to win easy fights is to find a weak player and attack them over and over however this can lead to retaliation. It is better to find an inactive weak player. Many people quit playing mafia wars but do not close their accounts. If you attack an inactive player, you don't have to worry about retaliation by one of their bigger friends.

Inactive players are low in level, have small mafias, and no recent collectibles items. The only way to know for sure is to attack the person and look at the fight report. In the report you may see a few old collectable weapons used then you have probably found an inactive player.

You will see that attacking even low level players results in good item drops. You should also double check by checking that the inactive player does not start leveling up by watching their profile page.

Now instead of risky hit and miss attacks you have your own weak punching bag. You may also bookmark the attack link allowing a fast use of stamina by hitting refresh against an easy target that will never retaliate.

Do not waste time spending God Father Points on God Father rewards as they are not any better than off the shelf items.

Summary

Best advice is to increasing your Mafia size to 501 and beyond, making sure your mafia is well equipped. In your profile add points in Attack, Defense, and by spending Godfather points on stats to add to the same, you can be sure to increase your chances of winning. However, you will never win 100% of fights Top Mafia have a chance to always win on defense and attack. Critical hits infrequently occur and always cause a loss even from lower level and smaller mafias.

Have a good time ;)
