The notion of a HQ hasn't really ever fit with this thing of ours.  I think it's time to introduce realism and commerce.

Let us imagine that there are no HQs, instead there are Stills, producing (prohibited) alcohol and warehouses used in the trafficking of marijuana and heroin (the drugs most commonly used of the era that we are in).

The bigger the Still/Warehouse, the more it produces.  Essentially, they are huge DFP, the more members, the more it produces.  The CL collects profit.

The reasons for this are twofold:

First - Realism.  Mafiosa's don't hide in HQs, they hang out in bars and they are involved commercial activities.  (This idea could be developed, an attach on the Still/Warehouse fortifications could damage a CL/crew financially without killing anyone - would make things interesting).

Second - Making crime pay - a CL could earn decent money, give them earning power in this era of marketplace driven capital.  Something to strive for, and fight for.

I think that this could be easy to code and would make for an exciting change.

Suggestions?

First - Mafioso almost always work out of one or two locations (this is why a GF and his captain do not share a HQ)

Second - a CL has family members/crew members who are supposed to do his earning for him there fore one can say by keeping them safe he is essentially earning without committing crimes himself

Third - we did have properties just over a year ago i believe within each city we could own and use and whatnot not sure where that is now though

every person is free to go on their merry way and a HQ is essentially a safe house for the family (think of the Corleone compound) you do business everywhere but when the shit hits the fan you fly home and enforce a lock down

First - yes, the mafiosa would, obviously, be working in the Still/Warehouse

Second - the compound was essentially a glorified house.  Think of Boardwalk Empire (same era as here), or the Capone era mob - they operated in speak-easys and warehouses.

Third - not sure what you mean.

Thanks for your reply.  But what negatives do you think could come from my suggestion?

Personally, i still think a GF should be able to go to his CL's HQ or at least the bar thread if it was shared with him. I think the level of unity in the district and loyalty towards the GF from members would improve drastically.

If i am right, organized crime is very well known for spending a lot of their time in there quote unquote headquarters. You watch movies like donnie brasco or documentaries on netflix/youtube and you will see that the majority of the time they spend around their local hideout where they all gather. 

I am curious if you would be willing to explain a bit more however.

you mean like a back alley post? or perhaps district and home city chat?

Whenever we have a suggestion that includes money coming in to the game, Izzy eventually shows up asking how the money gets out of the game too. These Stills/Warehouses you want will produce money, meaning more money in the game. Where do you want the money to disappear from?

Also, I believe a very large part of the community likes the game pretty much how it is. People are afraid of change, and happy with what they got at the moment.
I too would prefer not to have this change. I like things the way they are.
