Equipping teams with vehicles gives them greater mobility. T Between weeks, you assign each gang team a series of tasks to perform. Key to your operations are recruiting and paying for your band of thugs. The city of New Temperance is an isometric city composed of about a thousand blocks. Three different levels of zoom let you watch the action and keep track of your troops.
Individual windows can open.
You won't always be able to help out an endangered thug, though, because just like in real life, events can sometimes spiral out of control, even for the mob. But when events start happening too fast, the clock can be slowed down or even paused altogether. Your thugs aren't the only ones running about the streets either. There are cops too, and rival gang members, and literally hundreds of citizens and other members of the town. Judges, lawyers, witnesses, reporters, prominent businessfolk, the police chief and even the mayor all exist somewhere on the map, and you can order hits or beatings on specific people who live in particular parts of town.
