I consider myself to be pretty knowledgeable when it comes to social networking games like Texas Hold ‘Em and Vampire Wars and some others.  So when I began to see these Mafia Wars guides all over the Internet I was kind of surprised. I mean, I can see why people might need some tips to get going in games like Texas Hold ‘Em, but Mafia Wars?  How hard could that be?

So I began playing the game.  Then I could say I knew what I was talking about.  But I was in for a pretty big surprise. In no time, I was attacked and out of money.  Also, my character was basically paralyzed because each time I was attacked it drained my health. I have to admit, there is a whole lot more to this game than I had originally thought.

Although I was getting a little better I wasn’t doing anything very spectacular, to put it mildly.  It seemed like everyone else knew some kind of secret that made them win more fights, play at higher levels and achieve more.  I kind of felt like everyone knew something I didn’t.  And I thought, “Boy, it sure would be nice if someone would tell me their secrets.”  So, I began to think that maybe it wouldn’t hurt to see what these guides were about. I wasn’t really expecting much, but since I hadn’t done so well playing my own way, I figured it was worth a try.

So I picked up a guide called Mafia Wars Blueprint, and was floored by the tips I found in their guides and videos. You wouldn’t think there were so many ways to screw up a mafia strategy game but believe me, there are.  And I was making all the classic errors.  It didn’t take long for things to change though.  Within several weeks of devouring the videos and guide my game skills skyrocketed!  I mean I went from losing every fight to winning every single fight!  I built up my income from nothing to having hundreds of millions a dollar an hour pouring in.  And that amount is continually rising! And I rose from Level 30 to Level 250 in no time!  I still use the guide and videos as a reference.  I also receive an email newsletter that’s been extremely useful.  In fact, one of the newsletter updates I received more than paid for my course because it revealed a way to gain tons of members overnight.  I used to think it was impossible to add 100 members in a single day let alone several hundred.  Overall I’d have to say Mafia Wars Blueprint, the guides, the videos and the updates have been a fantastic investment.

Mafia Wars is a great place to go to escape from the stresses of everyday life. You can release some stress and feel like a king by dominating your competition. However, you’ll never realize your true potential unless you have a lot of friends to help you on your journey.  The greater your ability to continually add new members to your mafia the greater your potential for success!

Players who lack the ability to recruit new members will earn less money, lose more fights and have a limited amount of opportunities and bonuses to choose from as compared to successful recruiters.  It’s unfortunate because adding new members to your mafia is actually one of the easiest things to do!

Income Benefits

Mafia Mike’s provide players with the highest return on investment than any other property available in the game.  The catch is your ability to purchase this valuable property is dependent on the amount of people you have in your Mafia.  The more members you have the more Mafia Mike’s you can purchase.  And these properties cannot be robbed or attacked (a feature that is currently disabled by Zynga).

There are more and more people playing Mafia Wars every day. It’s extremely addicting and fun! Mafia Wars allows you to get away from the noise and stress of everyday life. Just relax, do some jobs, build up your mafia – a pretty enjoyable way to spend your free time. And as you do this, you’ll also advance in levels over time.

But, at some point (better earlier than later) you may want to get a lot more out of this game. Every time you move up a level, you unlock new jobs which requires additional loot items and other requirements. This means that in order to get the most out of your Mafia Wars experience, you’ll have to level up quickly to unlock as many items and bonuses as you can.

The Basics

But how do you do this? There are several things to keep in mind if you want to level up quickly in Mafia Wars. The most basic idea though is, if you’ve spent and used Godfather Points early on in the game on anything other than Energy, you’re not “Leveling Up” efficiently. Why?  Because when you increase your Energy you’re able to do jobs that give you more “Experience Points”.  And each “Level” is comprised of a certain number of Experience Points.  So, the more Experience Points you can gather the quicker you can “Level Up”.
