Micro Mob is a crime simulator for the PC and Mac.
You play as the Mob. You goal is to occupy every square of the city.
The screen is split in two - the GUI on the left and the City on the right.
On the left hand side is the GUI which is split into "You" and "The Fuzz" (police). The Fuzz is controlled by the computer AI.
Under each heading you have two stats to pay attention to; "Gangsters" and "Fresh Blood". Gangsters is the total number of gangsters you have available to distribute to the city squares. Fresh Blood is the number of new gangsters you will receive (every 15 seconds).
The Fuzz have the same stats but with different terminology. This gives you an insight into how they are doing.
On the right hand side is the City. The city is divided into 25 squares/zones. A zone can have 1 of 4 states.
1) Neutral - indicated by the general peaceful appearance of the tile
2) Occupied by the Fuzz - indicated by the police cars
3) Occupied by you, the Mob - indicated by a black car, dead bodies, and no pedestrians
4) Fighting - indicated by the presence of both you and the fuzz and a general state of chaos.
If you hover over any zone, a badge will be displayed with a number on it. This is the defence value of that zone. To occupy it, you must have enough Gangsters. Click the zone to occupy it. Your number of gangsters will be reduced by the value.
Additionally, the badge that is displayed when you hover over a zone will help you identify it (orange is neutral, blue is controlled by the fuzz, red is controlled by you, blue and red split down the middle is a fight)
The Zones all behave a little differently when you try to Occupy them. Lets look at that.
1) Neutral - trying to occupy this will result in immediate occupation.
2) Occupied by you - trying to occupy this will remove any gansters already in the sapce and return them to you "Gangsters" count for redistribution.
3) Occupied by the fuzz - trying to occupy this will result in a fight. Your gangsters will decrement and the zone will change to a fight scene. After 5 seconds the fight will be resolved and you'll either be awarded the zone or the fuzz will.
Occupy more zones to increase your "Fresh Blood". This in turn will award you more gangsters every 15 seconds.
