Mafia Wars Intermediate Play for “Fearless” in New York:

Much of intermediate play depends on strengthening your character. You want to have both properties and money to buy the best equipment for everyone in your mafia, weapons, armor and vehicles, but then buying properties eventually pans out. Money in and of itself becomes boring. Robbing is an excellent way to get money, but then there comes a time when enough is enough. I say, this time can be gauged by four achievements.

1. You want to be able to afford the “Personal fleet,” achievement. This is 500 of the best vehicles available to the intermediate levels, “Town Cars.” So what if you don’t have 500 people in your mafia. This is a good gauge.

2. You want to have the “One Down” achievement. This is accomplished best by completing either the Street Thug or Associate level three times, but don’t do it just too waste energy on jobs at this low level. Do it so that you complete more difficult levels, and spend the extra on the Street Thug or Associate level.

3. You also want the “Slum Lord” achievement. You will have this easily if you have put all your extra money into properties, so that you can afford the best stuff for your mafia. Granted, “Megacasinos” bring in more cash, but that is not necessarily true dollar for dollar. The inexpensive properties often do the best dollar for dollar, and it all adds up.

4. Lastly, you want to have the “Personal Bailout” achievement, gained by depositing a billion dollars after bank fees. Specifically, this is a deposit of $1,100,000,000.

By the time you have these four achievements, your character should be strong enough to switch from robbing to fighting. Fighting has the advantage of looting. Make sure your stamina is 20-25 and don’t give up trying to heal your character even if the hospital says, “You cannot heal so fast.” Try clicking a few things and then going to the hospital again. By now the size of your mafia should by between 125 to 150 people, and you will win most any fight, even against people that are at higher levels. The more you win, the more the loot you get, and the stronger you get. Ride the roller coaster, and don’t be a doormat to other people’s mafias.
