Questions
Gameplay answers
What makes it different from a normal trading game?
The market is only one layer. City control, assets, local crew, travel time, heat, intel, and route automation all change the decision.
Why can a good deal still be bad?
Travel can cost money, energy, time, and exposure. A high sell price is only useful if the route, stock, and verified units make sense.
What should a new player do first?
Work streets if broke, buy small local stock, sell to real buyers, build a cheap asset, then start learning nearby cities.
What does city control do?
Control is the long-game layer. It supports local crew, better routes, pressure relief, city knowledge, and future unlocks.
Does it work on mobile?
The game is being built mobile-first for quick actions, bottom navigation, compact cards, and fixed bars that do not get pushed off-screen.
Why do quantities change?
Quantity depends on cash, local stock, package size, rank caps, route intel, and the amount your network can safely verify.
How do stats progress?
Stats grow through training and future activity experience. They should unlock bigger reads, safer travel, better fighting, more energy, and stronger city control.
Can I build one city instead of traveling forever?
Yes. The long-game target is local territory: assets, stash, recovery, cover, crew, trust, and control in specific cities.
