Mercenaries Mercenaries are fighters given by the Godfather. They fight just like other family members.

Caporegimes (L20+ Only) Capos are specialized (non-fighting) members. They are trained personally by the Godfather and can be hired to join your family.

--Hire Capo di Investigatore
Investigatores specialize in sizing up the enemy before you attack. They will give you information about the opposing family's health. The colors are like a traffic light; Green means good health, Yellow means medium health, Red means low health.

--Capo di Segreto
Segretos specialize in protecting information. Hire a Capo di Segreto and he will make the quantities of your items unavailable on your profile. However, quantity information will be revealed when you battle.

--Capo di Guerra
Wars are long, expensive, and tiring for your family members. Normally, they will not allow you to declare more than 3 wars at a time. A Capo di Guerra can help you convince your family members that your family can handle declaring 10 wars.

Wars (L20+ Only) Wars can be declared by any family on another family. Once war is declared, the waring families show up on each other's My Wars lists. Families can only initiate a limited number of wars, but are able to defend as many as they would like. The Godfather is weary of long wars, and will attempt to resolve the war after 7 days. Wars will also end if the declaring family ends the war or if the declaring family is killed.

Body Collector --Posting
If you are being bullied, want revenge, but don't have the men or equipment yourself. Go see the Body Collector. Pay him money and he'll find men to beat the living hell out of your rival for 12 hours. You can see how many people have tried to kill your rival by the # of Attempts. If your rival is killed, his health will be 0 and he will lose whatever energy he had.

--Collecting
If you are strong and enjoy earning cash for obliterating other families, go see the Body Collector. To make a successful collection in an attempt to kill, you must make the final blow right before your opponent runs away. He may hide from you...but no one can hide forever.

--On the List
You are wanted dead by the Body Collector. Check My Street Cred to see how much longer the Body Collector is getting paid. Be careful...if a family is successful in his attempt to collect, you will lose your health, your energy, and all wars you declared will be put to rest.

Vegas Strip Take your money and go to the Strip. You can play the Slots, hit the Craps table, or attend any of the other games you find there. There's even a Single Coin Toss game going on in the back of the alley. Though shady, the coins at these places are legit and you get 50/50 odds on a flip.

Zen Zen Points are awarded every level, and can be used to increase: attack, defense, health, stamina, and energy by going to the Zen Master.
