cartel police or shrooms ? CARTEL !

[Towelie Clegane]

So ive heard we were given the choice of cartel, police raids or new drug (mushrooms) to get next.
i seriously believe an opposing cartel is missing to the game and that should be the first thing to work on. i wanna have this constant war, not only fighting them with weapon, but mainly fighting for costumers and territory. give us a reason to please costumers by answering their demands.
i also wanna have large lucrative orders from oversea that i need to fulfill otherwise Gus's goons are going to come at me.

police needs to be improved but we already kinda have. shrooms would be cool but its not as mandatory for gameplay as a cartel.

im glad we are actually getting content, unlike some other early access game... (cough cough valheim)

I think that police would be the best choice and here's why :
Firstly, shrooms, well, new drugs are cool and I'm looking forward to see those added to the game, but "late game" is lacking and the game feels too easy right now, so it's about cartels vs police.

Cartels could add difficulty and a lot of gameplay changes to the game being early on or in late game, BUT, I think that right now the police is ridiculous, and having cartels on top of it would make them look even more ridiculous and useless.

That, and I also think that, from a development perspective, police expansion is more logical, as defining what's a crime, how the police handles it, etc.. would make it easier from the start to handle the cartels behaviour and avoid the boilerplate of having to refactor the whole cartels to build up the police expansion rather than just upgrading police to handle cartels.

you think the police is ridiculous right now ? just block the entrance with a car. police already exist, cartels dont. theres nothing that will make a client look elsewhere. we need a feature that makes it so your drug empire devolves over time if you dont take care of it. police wont do that. cartels could.

Yeah I think that police is way too weak right now.
I agree with you, I just think that implementing police first would streamline the development of the cartels. (I'm talking about interactions between police and cartel, right now curfew only apply to player, and I would like to see that change, and when cartel comes, I hope they'll be tied to the same rules as the player, meaning they would have to deal with the police and can be arrested).

But yeah, I agree that cartel will be the biggest change and would really change the late game experience

game does not need more products right now, needs substance. would say cartel offering products of higher quality competing or police raid based on a heat system

not enough space to make more product, or it forces just what makes the most money

I agree with you, Cartel seems like the missing piece and it also makes sense considering what happened in the beginning.

police raids, yes but carefully tho. that means pretty much destroying your base set up.
how do you think the "heat" system should work ?
slowly rising by selling drugs around and quickly rising by being caught nearby ?
and you pay the police to turn a blind eye to reduce heat ?
or maybe there should be special DEA detectives watching you ?

in any case, the entire justice system needs an update. we should have to pay a lawyer to get us out of trouble for serious charges and be able to pay the police get info on the current "heat" relative to each of our bases at least
