Enemy gang only has 16 power forces

[Sir Marillion]

How am I supposed to deal with them? I really have no idea! Even if I recruit every lieutenant available I reach 12/13 power.

Also, I remember there was multiplayer and coop in the roadmap, what happened to them?

Thank you!

Hi. First of all, I recommend you to play the tutorial before starting the normal game. I assume that after six hours of playing you hired the first three lieutenants and went straight to the neighboring cartel. But it doesn't work that way. If you want to fight, you have to defend yourself at first and gradually build up the strength of your cartel until you are stronger enough to attack. Good luck.

For one thing, you can rack up Reputation bonuses to make enemy gang attacks less frequent. See the top of your screen for that info. For another, you can talk directly to the gang leader by clicking on their city and appease them somehow.

While you negotiate that cooldown, you can work towards improving your own cartel. Don't expand too quickly and you won't cause a lot of trouble. Then fight your battles on your terms rather than those of your enemy.

Hello and thanks for your reply! Actually I have completed tutorial but it does not teach you how to properly fight enemy gangs :)

Thanks for the tip! I'll give it a shot right now =)

never had success with negotiation. the only way i deal with them is fighting back their attacks, which costs them 1 strength point every time they loose. at one point theyre so weak that fighting their base and taking their territory is a easy task.

I always start my games by talking to all the gang leaders and building up some relationship. As you play through the game you will unlock new lieutenants. A few if promoted enough can have a power on their own from 7-8 and one (if I am not wrong on more) even has a solo power of 10.

Each time you beat a gang in war they lose a power of 1 BUT what I generally do is make friends with the gangs and then recruit them to absorb them into my own cartel.

Once you recruit a leader (many have nice skills like making "deals" which are almost invaluable in modes like survival) it will free up the area they were in to take over once doing the mayors missions.

If you wish to get rid of a gang member you can always kill them via leaving them in a terror event they cannot handle / assassinate them or even just send them to the prison and surrender them.
