Ok Luckee.. I tried it out just now.. I do say... I can get quite a lot of thugs this way.. I figured mostly all of this out. Ok one question tho:
When can I get ak\'s?! I ended up with 3500 thugs and less then 1000 ak\'s!.. They weren\'t happy with just beer.. They want guns as well...
I can understand about this scouting for a while with 10 turns each and then after a while buying all ak\'s.. But I end up with 3 million dollars and I can\'t even out my ak\'s and thugs.
I just tried this with the first game... Gonna do the same to the crackhead game.
BTW - I got around to playing the game without buying pistols at all.. I just scout 10 for a while then I buy thugs, then I do the same thing and try to buy ak\'s. I guess it\'ll all work out later.
