Game Forum / Action Games / Grand Theft Auto / April 2007[GTA:VCS] Empire Defense
If I don't reach an Empire of mine under attack before the damage bar fills, or if I die in defense of it, what happens? Does the building just need to be repaired (Oooh, $500!) or does the rival gang get it? Or is it a random chance of either result? (needed time away from Robbery & Drug Running missions, especially Robbery, so have set out to take over all of the Bikers' businesses and convert them to Smuggling just to have Sabre Turbos within sprinting distance just about everywhere in the city. :P Then I'll take over the Sharks'... In other words, Biker attacks are getting *VERY* frequent at the moment and I've had a couple of close calls, both with the damage bar and my life while defending)  Signature"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we.

I've never left a damaged site alone for very long, so I don't know whether or not an opposing gang does take it back over if you leave it too long. Whilst it's damaged, you won't get any empire earnings from it, so it's worth repairing them if you've got a lot damaged. By the way, set them all to prostitution when you first take them over and then robbery when you've opened the second island. This will ensure that you get the most amount of money at all times.

That means I can blitz the Sharks' holdings and then go back and start repairing once I've got all 30. Of course, the downside is that I'm only at "High Wire" (ARGH! 8 failures so far! :( and "Kill Phil" (such a counter-intuitive mission - I mean, *protecting* Phil Collins? Makes no sense... :P) so that'll be a long time of the Sharks making it next to impossible to drive anywhere. Took ages for the Bikers to stop appearing every time I stepped out of the safehouse after taking their last property. :) > Whilst it's damaged, you won't get any empire earnings from it, so it's > worth repairing them if you've got a lot damaged. > > By the way, set them all to prostitution when you first take them over > and then robbery when you've opened the second island.

The money's not much of a concern - unless there's something I *HAVE* to have a lot of cash for later on that I don't know about? Currently have more than $600k... I'd much rather have the Sabre Turbos all over the place for when I need a ride after, of course, the game steals my ride at the start of a mission. :) Signature"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we.

Those Landstalkers are surprisngly flimsy, even despite being BP.

I thought that was only when you had all 30 and have done all the missions? [I'm useless - stuck at Smuggling 2 and Robbery 3. Drug Running was easy, though...] > Those Landstalkers are surprisngly flimsy, even despite being BP. Well, Landstalkers have never been particularly robust in any of the games. Signature"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." - George W. Bush [August 5th, 2004] Whee. Blitzed the Sharks' 6 empire buildings in one go, not even bothering to save between them thanks to that handy new (and very, VERY underpriced) feature of being able to buy back your weapons after being wasted/busted, running into maybe 3 gangs of them between the attacks. After I got the last building, there was one more attack on one of my empires and one more attack on me in the street. Haven't heard from them since, even while cruising the streets for around a (real) half-hour after repairing the 5 or 6 damaged buildings I had, trying to put off having to do "High Wire" (took another 3 tries before I finally got it :) and "Kill Phil" (I have moral objections to keeping Phil Collins alive :P). [on the plus side, I finished "Home's On The Range", Gonzales' first mission, on the first shot of my first try, which was quite unexpected - but damn them for forcing you to drive a Pony for "Purple Haze"! :P] Signature"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we.
