Transcript
THUG advances the city on a shared clock. District pressure, markets, shipments and organizational decisions move against the same moment in time.
City agents are not decorative timers. AI crews use treasuries, profiles and action logs to recruit, trade, gather intelligence and contest territory.
Dons and Families pursue longer motives — permits, tribute and protected markets — while police pressure develops from evidence rather than random events.
When you return, the streets are not identical to the streets you left. Shortages, rival moves and open opportunities create context for your next decision.
