Crime lords

[SWK]

Is there a way to get rid of these guys that doesn't piss off the faction they're in?

[Pesto]

Is there a downside to having them around? I haven't noticed too much trouble from them myself.

It is a good question. Going even beyond that, not only the faction but it also causes general unrest when you get rid of them. This makes no sense to me unless tropicals like their criminal to run around free and unhindered in their crimes. There should be a solution to crime lords that reduces unrest not increases it.

There is just put down a police station =D

[Rick]

Police stations don't get rid of Crime Lords, in fact one of my Crime Lords is a Policeman.

Police stations reduce the effect the crimelord has on the population, ie the crime overlay. No red no problem!

also.... leaving them unattended to; the crime lords, leads to more corruption and an increasing loss of treasury funds.

Its best to deal with the time lords, ehrrr I mean crime lords asap if you have a prosperous island that you want to make perfect. If your island is struggling or you have high unrest leave them be. Also, put a police station anywhere that you have developed that is in the red or huge yellow patches while making sure you have YOUR desired liberty level under watch.

less crime = less effect from crime lords

I followed one of my crime lords (a mom of like 2 kids) around for a while and she was the busiest builder of all my builders so I figured "eh, she can have whatever the hell she stealin" and let it be XD

Perhaps the tropican bureaucracy learned how much money you save by actually getting rid of crims instead of housing, feeding and entertaining them in their very own crossbar hotel.

1. Tropicans not "Tropicals".
2. Bet you didnt know your neighbor just robbed a bank did you? Bet youd cry foul if he was deported for crimes he committed in another country that you dont know about huh. Tropicans dont know ♥♥♥♥ guys. Would you see actions by the government against criminals that everyone thinks are normal guys as actions against criminals or the goverment doing whatever the hell it wants?

1) Thanks for correcting my typo, I'll make more so you might be busy.
2) If I had a neighbor who was a Crime Lord I'm pretty sure I would know. If my neighbor was a small timer I might not know until the police came but the real question is would the arrest of a person, crime lord or not cause an increase in the civil unrest of an entire city or country? Probably not ....unless the person was very high profile to start with.

Would you know? You would at most only suspect it because if you knew he was involved in crime then others do to. Criminals have gone entire lives without being caught or even suspected.

The point is, no one knows what other people are doing secretly. You dont know who are crimelords or rebels at first the police have to investigate. If the police require months of investigation to sniff out rebels and criminals theres no way in hell that Juanito would know and Juanito would be concerned when Mr Moreno is shot dead in the streets.

And while I am at it, they increase corruption. That shouldn't happen unless they are paying off someone in a position of power/have a hand in politics making them untouchable without an executive order.
