Where's My Money?

In this game as in life money gets stuff done! Real or fake you need money, I however am not here to talk to you about using your hard earned cash on a game. I'm here to talk to you about how to make and use your extortion money and buying properties. The fastest way to make money is start low and max out.

The first property you can buy is a Restaurant, each one brings in an extra $250 an hour, buy all 10 and you are making $2,500/hr. It seems like it takes forever making money sometimes but if you spend your money smart and buy up all the low properties to max and do jobs, boss fights, EB's and even some PvP, you will have enough money to buy/build what you need and be able to donate to your empire.

This is so far the easiest and fastest way to buy properties:

Restaurant $250 / maxed $2500

Condo $500 / maxed $5000

Night Club $1000 / maxed $10000

Mansion $2500 / maxed $25000

Casino $7500 / maxed $75000

Island $10000 / maxed $100000

Now there are also properties that give you bonuses, when these are maxed I have been told they add an extra $1000 to your income on top of their bonuses. They are:

Hospital 1% reduced heal cost / maxed 10% RHC                                           (build after Condos)

Real Estate 1% reduced cost of properties / maxed 10% RCOP                       (build after night club)

Construction Company 1% reduced build time / maxed 10% RBT                    (same as above)

Arms Factory 1% reduced cost on equipment / maxed 10% RCOE                  (build during or after Casino)

Personal Armory +1 to your LT's Attack / maxed +10 attack                            (same as above)

Boxing Gym +1 to your LT's Defence / maxed +10 Defence                             (same as above)

With the new bonus packs that the Dev's are coming out with there have been a couple NEW properties that have yet to be assigned:
Rail Yard brings in $100 / hr with 5
Mega Casino brings in $150 / hr with 5
Sports Arena brings in $250 / hr with 5
As I said they have yet to be assigned a region or a purpose and to buy another of each is somewhere in the $33 TRILLION price range so just wait until the Dev's have finished the game upgrades before dumping money into them.

Now the most important building any of you 'forget-me-nots' will need is your Safe House. This building keeps your hourly income safe. It however is not necessary or feasible to get all 10 at once. You will know its time to upgrade it when you go to sleep, get up and find your money coming in is RED. This means your wasting precious money. My rule of thumb is when I wake up I pull it out of the safe house, go make my donation to my Empire and bank the rest. Before I go to sleep I clear out the safe house and bank it. If you are not running into your SH being in the red, you are either ahead of your money which is good or your not making enough yet. Lol

Another small note about getting the most out of your money, just like in real life the bank wants whats in your pocket. They however charge a 10% deposit fee on all your monies. The best way to get around this is buy the LT Charmaine (make her your right hand before going to the bank), her 1 star bonus is -10% Bank Fee, it will soften the blow. Also by being part of an Empire and donating you will notice that the HQ has a bonus build called Extortion. Each level your empire builds brings in extra money for EVERYONE. So please help donate so everyone can benefit. If you are unsure if you can contribute, ask your LT in charge of Donations to help guide you in what is the acceptable amount for your level and where you should be donating.

Lastly the best way to get your money working for you is to go through one regions jobs and 5 star it out before moving on to the next one. This helps in multiple ways:

1. you are gaining experience and money without having to buy more equipment and Lts
2. you are leveling up and getting stronger (power building) before moving onto the next Boss
3. you have more money to buy your properties with sooner and faster
   
   
   Now get out there and get some protection money from that store down the street, we have an Empire to build!

WE LIVE FOR THE SWAAAAAAARM!

Greetings and welcome to the FTS Militia's "Guide To Successful UWE Character Building".
First off I will point out I am not a super Geek so I will not be talking formulas and equations on how this game works. I am hear as the Voice of the Militia's Crew on tips and tricks for getting you off to a good start.

A little background for anyone joining us who is new or has no idea what I'm talking about. 
UWE stands for Under World Empires, a game for anything IOS related.
It takes you into the underworld of Crime Empires like the Cartel, Mafia, Syndicate and Street Gangs.
You can be a free agent and do what you please or join an empire and help wage war against other empires to be the best there is. One great thing about this game is the Empire Battles where one empire is pitted against another and they try and level each others Bases. Only the fastest and strongest survive.

Our Empire FTS Militia is actually an expansion of another Empire called For The Swarm. The original empire was built before Empire Battles was created by the game designers and we had maxed out our member cap. We found that there where only 20% of the people participating in the EB's which started to frustrate some members who wanted to be competitive and have fun. After a discussion about not wanting to kick people out who have been there from the beginning, we decided an expansion Empire was needed, so I volunteered to lead the Charge. So here we are a crew of 12 volunteers set out on a mission to build a team whose primary focus is on EB's and having fun.

We are (at the time of this post) only 19 days old and we have already climbed our way up to the same tier as our Mother Swarm for EB's and our record to date is 20 wins and 2 losses. Just a quick note, Yes FTS is based on Star Craft and no you don't need to know anything about Star Craft to join. Lol
It just adds an element of fun to our little group. One tool that has been a HUGE asset to our Crew is an app called "Line Chat". Its is a free app and it allows us to communicate in real time with each other which is great for tactics during battles and helping other people develop their stats. We can take screen shots and post them to have our Crew help someone out, get a chuckle or target certian empires who are causing trouble.

Well that should do for an Intro, I will be posting as often as I can on Tips and Guides to help everyone out. If you have requests or things you think I need to add or over look, feel free to let me know.
WELCOME TO THE SWARM!
