Overview

A war can be declared on anyone that isn't in your mafia from the Fights tab, the Declare War tab, or directly from a players Profile page. You can then rally others to help you in your war by posting it to your profile and to the news feed.

Each war has a time limit of 8 hours (less if you obtained Family Perks), after which you can then declare another war. A War can end in 2 different ways.

• You and your mafia have defeated your opponents and their Top Mafia, or they defeat yours.
• The timer runs out before all targets on one side have been taken out, in which case the person with the most kills wins the war. In the case of a tie the defender wins.

You may help your friends in their wars by clicking on their war posts and choosing a target from the opponents Top Mafia or the opponent themselves. You may also attack a target in your own war.

Your skill determines the damage that opponents suffer at your hand.

• You can wound them ,
• Take them out completely ,
• And even cause splash damage, which is dealt to one opponent as the result of killing another!

Each target in a war will be displayed with a difficulty level, representing how hard the target it to take out.

• Easy
• Medium
• Hard

The winning side of the war are awarded loot items. The leader receives 1 known item and 1 random item, and all helpers receive 1 known item. The rewards given are based on the current rewards Tier (see below) of the person that initiated the war.

You can also get revenge on those who fought against you by attacking them directly from the Declare War page.

The Mafia Size indicator does not include any Hired Guns you have since Hired Guns are not real mafia members and ca not respond to the war help request. However, if you do not have a Top Mafia set up, the 6 Top Mafia spots are filled with Hired Guns. However to declare war you must have 6 mafia (excluding hired guns). You must be also be Level 25 to Declare a War.

“	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.

“	Declaring war and helping your friends out with their wars is a great way to collect some awesome loot. Because the war loot is so awesome, we limit how much of it can be collected in a day to maintain game balance. We have discovered that some of you have collected more than you should have. We will be reclaiming this extra war loot over the next few weeks. This will only effect non-giftable, tier 2, high-end war loot and above. So, to recap: If you have collected more high-end loot from wars than you should have, we will be adjusting your quantity of that loot to what you should have earned within the appropriate limits.	”
