Tips and Tricks concerning Mafia Wars.11

It's been a while since my last post... almost a month. During this time we finally moved to a new year -a really difficult one- and Zynga still keeps making the life of old (and new) MW players more difficult than it is. We should all consider renaming our favorite game into MafiaVille, the place where all Dons are dealing with constructions.

One of the latest features added to the game are the family properties. These are buildings that all family members should assist in upgrading.

The first property is here and it is called Artillery Station. In order to upgrade it, collecting a consumable named Artillery Shell is needed.

Today's tip concerns a small bonus added on the health of this property. Artillery station, like all our properties, could be: upgraded, destroyed and offers us a bonus. It can be destroyed (health lowered to 0) when people from other families attack it (the same as the robberies we all are aware already). So as to make it more difficult for another family to attack our property and reduce its health, we should all add five items to raise its defense. Note: You should be aware of losing from your inventory any item added to the family properties' defense.

So, when this feature was introduced I added five lodjurs to its defense. The total health bonus was 965 points (193x5). A few days ago I ran an inventory scan and I found out that I was having more unused items that might add a few more points to the health bonus of the artillery station. The trick is to add an item from all five available categories: a weapon, an armor, a vehicle, an animal and a henchman. As you see from the previous image, the five items selected add to 1014 points but thanks to an extra bonus of 100 points (since these all are from different categories) the health bonus offered to the family property is now 1114 points.

We expect soon a new family property to be introduced: the Bunker. This building probably will offer us extra defense points to our total stats and in order to upgrade it, we'll need a new consumable named Reinforced concrete.
