Manual?

[gb143]

Is there one or will there be one? I'm having a hard time getting started......how many capos and soldatos I get, what to do with them. Basic stuff. A shortish manual woud be great.

There is an in game glossary to help with some of the terms but getting a starters guide is something I will pass along to the team. Thanks for your input!

Hi Gregb143, we are working on a wikia as we speak :) A few youtuber's have done some videos that may help if you want to check those out:

Someone is also writing a guide on steam:

My honest opinion, based on the fact that the developer is using the term 'grand strategy', it should have a manual. I'd assume that, in general, grand strategy games have manuals.

The mind boggles at the depth of the game - we know there is heat in neighbourhoods, etc - so, potentially, I could go and do something that creates a lot of heat in territory that a rival family is occupying, then basically just leave - the point being does the rival get affected thereafter or is the heat on me?

The in-game glossary is all very well; HOWEVER, you are using game-play time to read it. It could take you way past 2 hours to digest it.

EDIT:
ie the in-game glossary and the tooltips are very good - there is a ton of info in there.

The police of New Shore care more about making the public feel safe than actually tackling the families head-on. As such, any soldato in a neighborhood can be arrested when heat is high, even if their family isn't operating any rackets. As you've caught onto, you can use this to your advantage by purposely generating heat in neighborhoods with lots of enemy units. Try using a political favor that prevents friendly arrests!

I created a quick under 4 minute video to explain a few basics and will likely expand on that.

Awesome! I really like the nametag UI elements added to show what you are talking about.
