- Scout and compare people
- Assign real crew positions
- Negotiate promotion and compensation
- Manage loyalty, promises and conflict
Live game system · Economy

- Use finance, property and vehicles
- Balance profit, evidence and risk

Power always comes with terms.
Families control permits, tribute and protected markets. Rival crews pressure your territory. Agreements prevent conflict—until they are worth breaking.
- Negotiate access and protection
- Claim routes, blocks and markets
- Manage rivals and obligations
- Choose whose rules you will break
