THUG
Crews and territoryPillar

Run blocks, corners and an organization

Crews do more than share a name. They assign people, manage permissions and treasury rules, vote on motions, plan operations and run territory. Each corner has traffic, demand, police presence, local support, inventory, shifts and rival pressure.

02

Governance creates identity

Offices, permissions, votes, approval thresholds, factions and succession shape how a crew functions.

03

Defeat is a process

Crews can be weakened, challenged, reform, replace a Don, split or eventually dissolve.

Frequently asked questions

Know before you enter.

Can crews control individual corners?

Yes. Corners are manageable territory assets with their own captain, team, stock, income, heat, upgrades and incident history.

Are all rival crews controlled by players?

No. THUG uses a hybrid world of player-led and AI-led crews so the city remains active at every population level.
