Tips for Mafia Wars on Facebook

Introducing Exciting, New Moscow Challenge

Sep 14, 2009 Susan Ayers

Zynga is in the process of introducing a new feature to the popular Mafia Wars game on facebook. This is the addition of Mafia Wars Moscow.

Mafia Wars fans may have noticed odd loot drops being added to their inventory in recent weeks. Zynga has announced that those loot drops are to complement the upcoming Mafia Wars Moscow which is now in beta mode and will be introduced soon.

Some of the loot drop items are

  • a submachine gun
  • a sniper rifle and
  • a shturmovik which is a ground attack aircraft that was used in World War II.

These weapons, when received, increase a player’s attack and defense skills. Players receive them by doing jobs. If a player receives all eight items, they are eligible to receive a bonus weapon as well.

Choosing a Side in Moscow

As far as Mafia Wars Moscow is concerned, when players are able to enter the game, they will need to choose a side with which to ally. According to one of the Mafia War game groups, the Society of Deadly Assassins, this may be a mistake for those who belong to groups. If players rush into choosing a side, they could end up fighting against their own group. It’s best for players to take their time before making a choice as the decision they make may be irrevocable.

Mafia Wars Moscow Rival Groups

Evidently, there are two rival groups which control the balance of enterprise in Russia. Once a new player enters the game, it upsets the balance of power. This is the reason that players will need to make a choice with whom to ally. The two choices are the Vory v Zakone which are thiefs and Old Guard of the Underworld or the ruthless Russian Mafiya. There will be certain consequences depending on which choice a player makes.

Mafia Wars Moscow is available to players at level 70 or higher. According to Zynga, the challenges will be greater than both Cuba and New York; however, the rewards will be greater as well. As always, growing a family is a great way to handle challenges in the current cities.

Mafia Wars El Cacique

Currently, Zynga has added another level to Mafia Wars Cuba called El Cacique. El Cacique jobs are available to players at levels 151 and above. This level's jobs are difficult to progress through as loot drop items called Politico Corruptos are necessary. These are obtained through owning certain businesses and players can only collect up to ten of these at a time.

One suggestion to players who want to master El Cacique is to put the Politicos on their wish list in hopes that other family members will gift these hard-to-get items.
