Some rackets not suited to certain neighbourhoods .......

[Marlborough]

Some neighbourhoods will have an icon appear on their info window that will have, for example, a gambling icon with red circle with line through it to say that gambling is not suited to that neighbourhood. Sometimes it's a 'violent crime' icon etc... But my question is:- How do I know which rackets are linked to a certain icon. So a Gambling Den is obvioulsy no good in a neighbourhood that has the 'no gambling' icon but how do I know what other rackets are considered to be? So is extortion a 'violent' crime? or what is 'Distilleries' classed as? Is this info listed anywhere?

Part of the problem of this game is figuring out what the 'rules' are - what is the game interpreting.

I can tell straight away that x percentage of people don't like the lack of a manual/guide on the game.

The in-game glossary and tool tips are very good; however, you have to be playing the game to read them. Which means people are pretty much committed to retaining this game.

I have played about an hour and a half - yet, I have seen virtually nothing of the game - because I have re-started several times.

I am kind of loathed to launch the game to go an read the in-game glossary.

The categories were originally intended to be trial-and-error but we obviously underestimated the difficulty players would have uncovering that information out alongside the other systems in the game. We are working to make these conveyd better but for now, here is a direct list:

Alcohol Rackets:
Speakeasies, Distilleries

Entertainment Rackets:
Speakeasies, Gentlemen's Club, Casino

Financial Rackets:
Insurance Fraud, Loan Sharking, Money Laundering, Labor Unions

Gambling Rackets:
Gambling Den, Numbers, Casino

Smuggling Rackets:
Distilleries, Narcotics

Theft Rackets:
Mugging, Robbery, Hijacking

Violent Rackets:
Protection, Extortion, Kidnapping

We are actively working on an in game tutorial as well as a Starter Guide and a Wiki to help out any confussion!

Wow! Thanks! I needed that list!

It's not just helpful for neighborhoods, each individual has their own nuances as well.
