Mount and Mafia: Soprano Wars
After ten years in the making, I am proud to announce the new upcoming release of "Mount and Mafia: Soprano Wars", a mod for Mount and Blade:Warband!
A lot of time and effort went into making this mod, and we all hope you enjoy it!!!
The Story
You will be a soldier for the main crime family in New Jersey, and will be under command of "Tony Soprano", the lead figurehead in the Soprano crime syndicate. Below him are the Made Men, the "Capos". These are the men you will be taking orders directly from. They are reminiscent of "Regiments" "Legions" "Guilds", etc. and all report directly to the Main Man.
Starting the game, you will be able to choice from between 5 different bloodlines, all traceable directly back to the motherland. This allows the player to climb the ladder of criminal success all the way to the top! Those who wish to be on the outside looking in, without pure Italian bloodline, will be pleased to hear that this feature will be available in an upcoming patch.
You begin the game with a thousand dollars, a Cadillac (color of your choice!), a fully loaded .45, a wife, 2.5 children, a goo-mah, an addiction (of your choice!) and a crippling gambling debt.
As a Flunky, you do the odd jobs. Gettin' the chief a cup of coffee from around the corner. Running numbers. Operating Craps games out of dingy backrooms and holding dimly lit card games in the backs of business fronts.
Once you reach a total sum of $60,000, you gain the attention of a higher up and are promoted to Soldier.
As a Soldier, you report directly to your Capo, who will in turn send you to do missions. Be they simple strong arm muscling of local businesses or hijacking trucks loaded with high quality stereo equipment or fine silk suits, you'll be on a timer. Complete the mission within the allotted amount of time and your Capo will be pleased and send you on more lucrative missions as you build up trust and respect. Fail to complete missions and your Capo will look down on you, giving you lesser responsibilities, making you go for his dry-cleaning and picking up his niece from ballet practice and such.
CAPO
Once you gain enough respect, you're Capo may decide to sponsor you to Tony Soprano. In order to gain the Mob Bosses respect, you'll be ordered to kill someone. If your character simply cannot do such a loathe thing, he slides sideways into the "Money Man" slot.
A Money Man will never be a Mob Boss, but will have a +25% increase to their overall earnings through rackets and such. They may someday achieve the rank of Consigliere after achieving a milestone, such as a law degree or earning over a million dollars.
Should you follow your orders and wack someone, it may take as long as five years for the the event "The Books Are Opened" to trigger. Until this event occurs, you must continue to slave and toil under your Capo, whilst complaining bitterly about your salary, respect and how you're tired of waiting.
Dey Opened Da Books
During this event, a full Cadillac arrives at your home, you are asked to don your finest suit, get into the passenger side of the car, and are driven off to a random bar, dive or dark, secluded place. Once you've arrived at the secret location you'll perform the time honored ceremony, surrounded by your friends in the family. Your name will be entered into the hallowed halls of "Made Men", complete with solemn blood letting and bloodier oaths. After the sacred ceremony, Tony Soprano will walk up to you, stuff an envelope full of cash into your inside suit pocket, and welcome you to the family.
Once a Made Man, you'll be given you're own territory, a car upgrade, and extra $40,000 another goo-mah and another addiction (of your choice!). You' be given two flunkies to send out on missions, and more will slowly trickle in over time. Their stats will be randomized as are the two initial ones you've received. You will also be required to "earn" a mandatory $10,000 dollars a month. If you fail to do so, you will earn the scorn and disdain of Tony Soprano. If you fail to achieve the marker of ten thousand dollars after 6 months, you risk being "Called For".
During this event, a full Cadillac arrives at your home, you are asked to don your finest suit, get into the passenger side of the car, and are driven off to a random bar, dive or dark, secluded place. There is a .5% chance it will be a surprise birthday party for you. In which case, there is a 10% chance you soil yourself and are promptly demoted back to flunky, with a permanent -15 to all stats, and the monkier "Piss Pants" infront of your name for the rest of your career.
If you manage to keep the boss happy and make your goals after 3 months, you'll be given your own soldier. After another two months you will recieve another soldier. Every month after there is a 25% chance that a soldier will report directly to you. After you've accumilated 10 soliders, you may apply for the Consigliere position, or press onwards. If you decide to skip the Consigliere position, you will continue to grow very powerful.
Consigliere
The Consigliere position is a powerful one in that, you sit around in a backroom somewhere and give Tony Soprano advice on what to do. He may or may not listen to you, but if he does, you earn respect.
You are at your boss's side and at his beck and call for most of your gameplay.
You get a percentage of all Capo's earnings, and are provided with bodyguards, a bulletproof car an your own business cards.
You are allowed to give orders down do everyone else, but they should coincide with the Boss's wishes, or you may get an earful.
The only way to loose this coveted position other than promotion, is to be wacked, arrested and subsequently convicted, or beaten to death by the Boss.
Boss
If Tony ever gets Wacked, you become the De-Facto Mob Boss of the Sopranos, and may play on in ignorant bliss until you yourself are wacked, arrested and indicted on a major racketeering charge or keel over dead into your gobba-goo from a massive coronary at your favoraite local restaurant.
See how long you can last!
If you earn a Trillion dollars, you are automatically declared the winner, and you're name will go down in history as the greatest Don of all time!
