War



Declaring War

 * You can declare war on anyone except if they are in your mafia.
 * You can declare a war in your Fights tab by clicking on one of the random players that show up or click Declare War beside their name in the Fight tab.
 * You can then rally others to help you in your war by posting it to your profile and to the news feed. The person you go to war with can do the same.
 * You and all those who come to the war can choose 1 person to attack. You do NOT spend any stamina doing this.
 * Your mafia can also rally help for your war. Even if people are not in your mafia, they can attack for or against you.


 * A War can end in 2 different ways.
 * You defeated your opponets Top Mafia and him/her. (or the other way around)
 * If not all opponets are defeated the person with the most kills wins the war after 16 hours.
 * If you win, you recieve 2 random war reward items and everyone who helps you gets a random war reward item.
 * You can also get revenge on those who fought against you by attacking or sucker punching them.
 * The "Mafia Size" indicator does not include any Hired Guns you have since Hired Guns aren't "real" mafia members and can't respond to the war request anyways.
 * Wars last 16 hours
 * To declare war, you must have 6 mafia(does not include hired guns)

If you have a war in progress, this is what you will see from your homepage



Helping in a war


You can also help others who have declared war. When they post on the news feed (either their own war or asking for help for someone else's war), you can click on it, then choose someone to attack.

Blog Post
"Brush up on Sun Tzu's The Art of War and grab your helmet. It's time to declare war on your enemies. We have updated the Declare War feature so that you go to war against rivals instead of your friends/frienemies. We have included 10 new awesome rewards and a new achievement that you can only get from winning wars. Here's how you go to war. 1. Make sure you have assigned your top 6 mafia members. You can do that by clicking the "My Mafia" tab and picking 6 friends to fill up those top slots. A friend's class (Fearless, Maniac, or Mogul) determines which position (ie Bodyguard, Bagman, Wheelman) you can promote them to.

2. Go to the Declare War page and pick an enemy to attack. Your war lasts 16 hours, and you can only declare one war each time.

3. Recruit your mafia to go to battle with you. The more friends that help you bring down your enemy, the better chance you have to win. Friends get "Helper rewards" if you win your war. Friends can help fight in as many wars as they want, but can only receive "Helper rewards" for the first 5 wars they contribute to.

4. Below are all the items you can win from Declare War. Earn all 16 Declare War rewards to gain the Warlord Achievement."
