🎮 HOW TO PLAY 🎮

❗️❗️ READ CAREFULLY ❗️❗️

Call the contact "Create a Gang" and if you have enough money you will be taken to choose your Advisor with the gang style and color (try to not spend all your money here, i suggest you keep enough of it to not struggle at the start).

Call the Advisor whenever you want to open the main menu and have informations about your gang, give orders, call The Crew, access services ecc..
You can also talk directly to the Advisor after choosing a Hangout Point, you will find him there.
(You can set a shortcut key in the file Dealien_TheLeader.ini , but it won't be that immersive)

The start Power of the other gangs is randomized at the start.

🔳 INFO PANEL:

🔳 ORDERS:

◼️ Drug:

▪️Buy Weed:
you can arrange a meeting with a non-hostile gang to buy the desired amount of drug. If this gang is at the same power or less than yours the meeting will happen at your previously chosen Hangout Point, otherwise you will have to go and make a deal in the other gang's territory. (More about meetings down below)

▪️Sell Weed:
you can send a certain number of available Gangsters who will sell the amount of drug you choose (from what you acquired with meetings or produced from turfs). The time required to complete the order depends on how many Gangsters you decide to send.

◼️ Smuggling:

▪️Rob and Steal:
send your Gangsters to rob and steal around. They will fill the amount of bags you choose with what they can find. The time needed to complete the order depends on how many Gangsters you decide to engage.

▪️Sell Stolen goods:
arrange a meeting at the Hangout Point with some shady individuals who will come and buy your bags filled with valuables. (More about meetings down below)

◼️ Streets - Turfs - Hideouts:

Streets (max 15) are needed to sell Weed if you lack Turfs.
Each Turf (max 10) yield periodically 30 units of Weed and allows you to sell it (additional Weed may be produced depending on your Fame level)
HIdeouts (max 5) are needed to store Weed and Stolen goods (each HIdeout increases the max drug of 1000 and max bags of 10).
Each of the above counts towards Power increase!

In case you lost ALL your properties, you failed and your Gang will be wiped out!

▪Occupy/Find:
this option is randomly available, means you can't always occupy or find the desired property, sometimes you will have to wait for that property to be available. It is more expensive than capturing and it takes some time but it is certain you will acquire what you want and no Gangster will be harmed. The price decreases as the number of engaged Gangsters increases.

▪Capture:
the chance of success of "stealing" the property from the target gang is affected by the number of Gangsters you decide to engage, the Power of the target gang and the property size (street < turf < hidout). After a successful attack it's possible for the target gang to lose Power. The target gang will always have properties. If you own already the maximum number of a property type, the reward of a successful attack will be money instead. Gangsters may die (depending on the target mob Power as well).

▪Surrender/Sell:
surrending a property is useful to improve relations with the target gang and in case of Hidouts also to earn some cash back. The relation improvement (from enemy to neutral or from neutral to ally) is not certain and is affected by the Gangsters sent and by the property size. No Gangsters loss.

🔳 THE CREW:

The Crew is the group of your best men. Every crew member brings with him 4 Gangsters (except for the last one, the 7th who is acquired at Power 10 and brings 8 instead).

Gang Power 1 - 2 ➡️ 2 Crew members ➡️ 8 Gangsters
Gang Power 3 - 4 ➡️ 3 Crew members ➡️ 12 Gangsters
Gang Power 5 - 6 ➡️ 4 Crew members ➡️ 16 Gangsters
Gang Power 7 - 8 ➡️ 5 Crew members ➡️ 20 Gangsters
Gang Power    9    ➡️ 6 Crew members ➡️ 24 Gangsters
Gang Power  10    ➡️ 7 Crew members ➡️ 32 Gangsters

When there is "room" or a crew member / associate dies it will take some time to acquire or replace him (new crew members will join when number of gangsters match the quadruple of the crew membs).

If a Crew member dies you will lose also its related Gangsters.
Max Health and Firearms of the Crew members depend on the Gang Power as well.

◼️ Call The Crew:
you can call The Crew anytime when it's ready (there's a cool down after starting the game and after dismissing The Crew itself). The maximum crew members you can call depends on your gang Power and of course if they are present (look info panel).

◼️ The Crew Menu:

It can be opened by holding D-Pad left when ALL the Crew members you called are present (button changeable in the Dealien_TheLeader.ini file).

▪Stop/Cancel orders:
immediatly stop all the actions and orders of all crew members for them to come to you (their blips will turn blue: not busy).

▪Members:
number of the crew members who will execute the order. Free members (with blue blip) will be picked first then the busy ones (orange blip) in order from first to last.

▪Weapons:
which weapon type (unarmed, melee, firearms) will be used by the crew members at all time (remember to set it back to "firearms" in case of danger).

▪Attack:
the desired number of crew members will attack the target of your choice with the weapon type selected above (blip will turn orange, after the target has been eliminated or it's impossible to attack, the crew member will remain idle until you are far enough or the option "Stop/Cancel order is selected).

▪Wait:
the desired number of crew members will wait at the designated location (orange blip). 2 stances can be chosen: "stay put" (will ignore most of what will happen) and "stay alert" (will react promptly). If anything happens or you are far enough, the members will stop waiting and will return to you (blue blip).

▪Escort me:
the desired number of crew members will move closer to you and will try to stay in formation (orange blip).

▪Use vehicle:
the desired number of crew members will use/steal the designated EMPTY vehicle and will follow you with it (orange blip) until the option "Stop/Cancel order is selected.

▪Leave:
the desired number of crew members will leave the group (you have to dismiss the whole Crew before calling additional members).

🔳 SERVICES:

▪Call the Gang:
after some seconds a group of your gang members will gather at a point close to your location (a visible blip will appear) and aid you in case of attacks or annoying police. They are stationary (they won't follow you) but the number of gathered members depends on your Gang power. They will leave once you reach a certain distance. To be able to call the Gang again you will have to wait for a cooldown.

▪Bring me a Ride:
a driver will come with a modified vehicle for you (model changes when a particular Power level is reached).

Discounts on the cost of services is applied depending on your Fame level.

🔳 SETTINGS:

▪Rename your Gang:
change the name of your gang (try keeping it short).

▪Create/Relocate the Hangout Point:
you choose an area where some of your gangsters (including the Advisor) hang out and some meetings will take place (buying drug, selling stolen goods). The first time it's for free. A relative wide and obstacle-free space works the best.

▪Change the clothing color:
Lets you change the color of the Advisor and the whole Gang.

▪Disband:
say goodbye to the Advisor and everything you did so far for your Gang. Quit the Leader life.

🔳 EVENTS:

Every now and then the Advisor brings your attention to some matters that require you to make a choice. Most of the time you have 3 options. One increase the Fame, another increases the Shadow while the last one (doing nothing) decreases significantly either Shadow or Fame depending on what you have (this happens automatically even if you close the menu without making a choice or refuse to answer the Advisor).

It's always wise to choose one of the first 2 because:
High level of Shadow add bonus bags everytime your gangsters mange to fill some with stolen goods and add chances that attacks won't turn the target neutral or ally gang to enemy.
High level of Fame increases the production of weed for every owned turf and makes the cost of services cheaper.

There are few events where your only choice is to acknowledge and minimize the loss of Shadow/Fame.

If you die or you are busted you will lose a significant portion of either Shadow or Fame (more if you die, a bit less if you are busted).

More events will be certainly added in future updates!

🔳 CONVOCATIONS:

From time to time (frequency can be modified in the settings file) instead of an event you will be called from a gang to meet. If you accept a car with some of your gangsters will come to pick you up and take you to the other gang's territory.
Listen to what they want to propose and make your choice but don't wait too long, there's a limit to their patience.

Possible requests when summoned:
- Alliance
- Truce
- Declare war to another gang
- Hand over a street or a turf
- Sell them a certain amount of weed   (pay attention on the price variations!)
- Buy from them a certain amount of stolen goods   (pay attention on the price variations!)
- Give money (only if the other gang is more powerful than yours)

You can also call another gang for a meeting and make your own request. To do so, you need to be at your Hangout Point and speak directly to your Advisor.
You can summon a gang only once in a while.

Possible requests when summoning:
- Alliance
- Truce
- Declare War
- Sell all your stored weed   (pay attention on the price variations!)
- Fill up your hideouts with stolen goods   (pay attention on the price variations!)
- Ask for money (only if your gang is more powerful than theirs)

🔳 RANDOM ATTACKS:

If you have enemies, from time to time you will be attacked. The attack strength depends on the enemy gang Power while the attack frequency depends on your Power and number of enemies (higher Power and/or more enemies = slightly more enemy attacks). The target can be either one of your property (if you have any) or... You! (be prepared, call The Crew, run to a safe place, call the Gang, take cover...)

Property attack:
a random property you own will be targeted from the enemy and your chances to repel the attack are increased by the number of available Gangsters and of course if you have allies (you can have only 1 Ally at once). Having 0 available Gangsters means you have no defense for your properties, I suggest you don't engage all of them at once when possible. During an attack, available Gangsters may die, If the attacker is successful you lose the property and the attacker may increase its Power.
That is why i suggest to not always keep all your Gangsters busy at once in executing orders.

NPCs attack:
if you are a viable target the enemy will come to you unleashing its hate. If you have any Ally it will come to help and try to fight off the attackers. It's wise to stay always alert and be well defended and sometimes running away could be the best choice.

Either when an attack happens or you don't have any enemies but the attack timer reaches 0, there are chances for the other mobs relation to change and so their Power.

🔳 MEETINGS:

If you decide to buy drug or sell valuables to a non-rival gang a mini mission starts and you are required to go to the Hangout Point you previously chose, or in case you are buying weed from a gang that is more powerful than you, the meeting takes place at that gang's territory instead.
In case you are buying weed you can always choose to play dirty and steal the drug without paying but you will make yourself an enemy more.

About selling bags of stolen goods: once you reach your Hangout Point you have to wait for the buyers to come and pick the bags up. Each bag in the actual game represents 5 bags "on paper" that means that each buyer you see will actually buy 5 bags. If all goes well you get your payment (of all the sold bags) in a suitcase after all the "honest" buyers are in their vans and about to leave.
Sometimes a buyer could try to steal from you and run for it, you better pay attention and kill the thief before he escapes. If you manage to kill him he will drop the bag (actual 5 bags) AND the money he owed you. If he manage to escape you'll lose those 5 bags.

This mod is intended to be played while doing other stuff around the GTA world. Take your time while waiting for the orders to be completed. You can do some jobs with Crime Jobs (arms dealing fits perfectly) and with Roleplay Menu, spend some quality time with your partner with Forever Together or have fun with The Crew (you can create some impressive scenarios with those guys). If you are impatient you can always set the OverallSpeedMult less than 1 in the settings to speed things up... Just be careful to not set it too low.

Since there are many mechanics in common with "The Boss" I suggest to watch videos about that as well.

Sorry for the long post. I tried to explain everything as short and clear as possible. If you have any question i'm always here to help!
