Strategy and Tips

1. Grow your Mafia Family  

The more family members your mafia  has, the stronger you are. The first and ultimately most important key to advancing is to keep the mob family growing. This can be done in a couple of ways:

• 
  
  You can invite all your friends in your friend list.
• 
  
  You can go to mafia add me pages on facebook and display your profile and mafia link there.
  
  
  
  

2. Use Godfather Points Strategically

With each level up, you earn get 5 skill points from the Godfather. These can be used to increase a variety of attributes, such as attack, defense, energy and more. Where to apply these points depends on your startegy.

• 
  
  Knocking off rivals and going for kills: to be able to do this you have to increase your attack, defence and stamina attributes. This allows you to knock off other mobs and engage in more fights while staying strong yourself.
• 
  
  Money Accumulation: this strategy requires putting most skill points into the energy level. Energy enables you to do more jobs, thus acquiring more money.

3.Use Godfather Limited edition Loot to get your Mafia well equipped

• 
  
  Limited Edition Loot is the best  way to equipp you mafia faster and cheaper, it costs you anly 10,000 $ per piece.To do this you must grow you mafia constantly ( addiing members everyday )

4.How to advance faster ?

If you want to pass levels faster you got to do this:

• 
  
  Use godfather skill points to increase energy
• 
  
  Hit only the jobs that give you more experience and take less energy.

5.How to avoid being robbed ?

• 
  
  Don't buy expensive properties, especially when you are in low level, the best investment is to buy MAFIA MIKE's, because they are cheaper, and also cannot be robbed.
• 
  
  
  
  Increase your defence, by buying equipment that gives more defence or hitting jobs that give you loot items who have more defensive attributes like bodyguards, private jets, falsified documents etc ( you have the list in the inventory page ) , and use Godfather Points to increase your defence attibutes, "defence" is also very important in fights,more than "attack"  because of a simple reason that you must remember " YOU CAN CHOOSE WHO TO ATTACK, BUT YOU CANNOT CHOOSE WHO WILL ATTACK YOU"

  ADDING NEW MEMBER

  To grow your mafia you must add another player as a friend and after that you can send the invite for the game.
  
  Also there is another way to build your mafia and to get around the limited number of invites per day. The best part is that it was created and is sanctioned by the gamemakers.

  All you do is Go to your "My Mafia". Down at the bottom right click on the "Set Status to Recruit Friends". This adds an invite link to your profile and posts it to your friends' feeds
  When your friends click on it, they are automatically added to your mafia and you to theirs. No invites are needed.

  so send friend invite.....they accept ......click on status link ........done
  
  here is an example, this is my profile url, you can add me as a friend and when I accept you can click in my mafia link
