How can you win a war in Mafia Wars?

Different types of strong player:

There are a few main strategies.

Energy player: Usually used as a secondary account, can get loot quickly, all points go into energy. Weak fighter.

Low level fighter: Powerful only compared to its level (decent if you buy skill points), relatively useless against much higher levels unless they're energy accounts. Achieved by putting all sp into attack/defense, a slight amount into energy.

High Level Fighter: Energy/stamina to get high level, then feed att/def: very effecient way to create fighter (best for daily playing minimum and free players, i.e. after time, through mastery sp etc this is the best option).

Stamina player/Energy-stamina hybrid: Main ability = autolevel, not great for getting loot or much really.

Former styles:

Hitlist rider: High health and defense. Exp gained from one hitlist session has been reduced to 50xp, seeing most of these accounts adapt to balanced fighting.

Gameplay:

"The best strategy is to buy as many properties as possible and upgrade your energy a lot."

This is the fastest way to level up but not always the 'best' option. First you need decide what your goal is from playing the game, do you want to have a higher level than your friends or do you want to be a stronger player than your friends?

If your only goal is to climb the levels as fast as you can then buying and upgrading energy is exactly what you need but if you want to be a stronger player than others then you need to improve your fighting stats; health, defence, attack and stamina - which will of course come slower as your sacrificing energy improvements to get them.

personal choices will matter the most, i personally improved energy until i had a nice high amount to grow with and then started pumping all my upgrades into the other stats to improve my abilities in a fight/robbery.

Major hint:

Build every day from chop shop etc. for skill points, and get 500 or 501 mafia (different strategy) if you're really serious.

What are some famous female mafia names?

Here's a name of a female mafioso AND a bit of her story.

Woman Mafia boss arrested By Frances Kennedy in Rome

SICILIAN POLICE arrested one of Italy's few female Mafia bosses yesterday as she was having breakfast in her home town near Catania.

Surprised in a friend's apartment, Concetta Scalisi, 45, did not lose her head. As members of the anti-Mafia squad told her she was under arrest, she smashed a glass and began slashing her stomach and hands with one of the shards. The aim of the well-dressed Sicilian matron, one of a handful of female mafiosi, was apparently to ensure she went to hospital rather than to Catania's high-security prison.

Ms Scalisi has been on the run since September. She is charged with belonging to Cosa Nostra and organising a triple murder. Unlike other women, who are increasingly active in what was once a male domain, she was not said to be simply passing on orders from a jailed husband or having Mafia properties put in her name.

"Concetta is the boss, the number one of the Scalisi clan," explained Enzo Montemagno, head of the Catania anti-Mafia squad. "She is brains of the organisation. It is one of the few cases in Italy where a woman is really running the show."

He described Ms Scalisi as a well turned out, conservatively dressed matron "whose expression made it clear she was not someone to be messed with".

Married with two adult children, Ms Scalisi grew up adoring her father, Antonino, the charismatic and powerful local boss. When he was shot dead in a Mafia vendetta in 1982, her brother Salvatore took over. When he, too, was killed five years later, she stepped in to reorganise the family. In deference to the Mafia's patriarchal traditions, she brought in two nephews - but she was the decision maker.

It was during this period that investigators say Ms Scalisi eliminated three "family" members who had stepped out of line - providing the weapons, a refuge and logistical support for the killers. She faces a possible life sentence if convicted.

When her nephews were arrested in 1997, Ms Scalisi reportedly took complete control of mob operations in the hill town of Adrano, with a population of 20,000, near Catania. That included loan sharking, drug dealing, extortion and controlling public works contracts. She also came into contact with her family's traditional allies, the clan of Nitto Santapaola, one of Sicily's most ruthless mobsters.

Ms Scalisi's arrest came after a difficult and frustrating undercover operation. "In a small town where the Scalisi can count on considerable support, it is not easy to trail or observe those close to Concetta without being noticed yourself," Mr Montemagno said.

Three times police thought they had her, only to burst into a building and find no trace. Yesterday morning at breakfast time, however, their painstaking work paid off.

This was taken from a UK paper called "The Independent"

What should you upgrade in stick wars?

You should upgrade a little bit of everything. Make sure that the weapons of the archidons and swordwraths are fully upgraded. Do one or two each upgrade on the miners. Do all but one level on all the spearton upgrades. One the magikill do one or two for each upgrade. You shouldn't do any for the giant. Do one on each for the castle. But you could do two on the automatic income. Good luck! :)
