Mafia Wars is a game created by Zynga and you can access it through MySpace as well as FaceBook. Currently it is one of the most happening games on the social networking sites. If you need basic instructions about the game you can log on to the Zynga forums about the game.
Once you cut your teeth on the basics, get ready for the more advanced mafia wars tips.
The first of many mafia wars tips to come is that you should not spend all your skill points on energy levels. By building your energy you will be able to do more jobs; however, it would leave you vulnerable to attacks because you will neither be able to build your defense nor your offense. Working on your attacks and defense will help you win more battles against the other mafia families. To try and repel as many attacks as you can you will need to maintain your defense skills at two times your level in the game. For example, if your level in the game is 100 then your defense skills should be at 200. There will still be instances when you will lose fights against families at the lower levels because they may be inclined to use all their points into the attack. A thumb rule is that every time you level you will get 5 points, so spend these points to purchase energy (1 point) and on defense and attack (4 points).
One of the most important mafia wars tips is about the number of family members that you need to win most of the fights that are thrown your way; actually, it is indeed 501. Remember every time you win a fight against another family, you get tons of loot and of course, experience points. If you need more mafia members, look for players on FaceBook. You can post messages on the walls of mafia wars groups saying that you are looking for team member; however, don’t go over two posts a day because FaceBook will flag you if it looks like you are spamming. You can add as many as 20 new friends each day.
Weapons are also a crucial factor in winning the game, it is important to arm your family with the best. If you have 300 members you will need 300 of the best weapons, 300 of the best defenses and 300 of the best armor. You can buy some of this stuff; however, the real quality stuff comes from random fighting loots and even higher level jobs. One of the best places to buy ammunition is Cuba; here you can get bazookas, rebel snipers and even helicopters. In jobs you should look for stuff like TNT’s, Garza 9s and M16As.
Remember to upgrade your wagons each time you add a new member to your family. Most families that frequently win fights have at least 501 members in their team and if you don’t have as many you stand higher chances of losing against them
Another crucial factor for succeeding in mafia wars is the experience points that you are going to need to level up, try to help people who need assistance on a job; you can find these in the player updates section. You won’t lose any energy on these jobs; use all your energy to buy experience points. A good player should be able to level three times a day until he/she reaches level 200.
