Mafia - Beta version 1.0
-----------------------

Hello, and thanks for downloading this beta. Keep in mind that this is indeed the beta version and that I'm open to any kind of change proposal. I'd apreciate it very much if you played this scenario a littlebit and then reported back to one of the creation forums at Apolyton or CDG.


Some hints before starting to play:

MOBSPEAK:
Don't think that it is my English there's something wrong with when reading the pop up windows. I've done my best to translate all the text files to mobspeak, to add some flavour to the scen.

BE CAREFUL:
Be extremely careful with attacking police officers of any kind, as they will immediately call on the FBI for assistance. Also, killing civilians is not a very good idea. By killing other ethnic gangsters, you will only encourage them to rise up against you, so bear this in mind before playing. But then again, it's your job to keep unorganized bullies away from your neighborhoods to protect your interests and the people living there.

TERRAIN INFO:
Irrigation, Farmland and Mining have been renamed Bars, Restaurants and Hotels. It has most of the same effects as in vanilla civ, but do take a look at the terrain section in civilopedia for a more detailed description. All terrains have their own distinct feature.

Don't bother building roads, as the effect of roads have been disabled.

Also, the terrain transformation time has been drastically reduced, in order to encourage the players to go into the construction business, which has a history of mafia relation in NYC.

Here's what they transform to:

Non Habitated ---> Low Dense Res.
Low Dense Res. ---> Residential
Residential ---> Upper Class Res.
Upper Class Res ---> Commercial

Docks ---> Industrial
Commercial ---> Industrial
Industrial ---> Estates
Park ---> Estates
Estates ---> Commercial

So, don't hesitate to transform terrain. It will only take you 5 turns. Irrigation etc 4.

ADDITIONAL INFO:
Cars are in reality naval units and the roads are ocean with pollution as an overlaying terrain. Global warming has been removed from the scenario, and no roads lead into the Hudson river or any other NY water surrondings.

I will come back with a more detailed readme, with credits and everything, with the release.

To keep up with the AI tech race you should prioritize trade.
