Hi, you make some excellent points. Why so much income? Here's why.
First off, remember that if you go all max members in your group, you
can have up to 5X your level. So, if you are level 10, you can have up
to 50 members. If you are level 40, you can have up to 200 members.
Keeping this in mind, let's take a look at iMobsters specifically for
level 10, level 22, and level 35 players and the hourly upkeep costs
associated with having 9 members, 19 members, and having a full mob for
those levels. You will see how quickly the hourly upkeep adds up. My
recommendation is to have enough hourly income so you are spending
between 10 and 25 percent of your hourly income on upkeep. That way you
can use the remaining 75 to 90 percent to invest in real estate and make
your income grow even more. Note that this doesn't have to do with how
much you gain or lose from attacks or being attacked. So while the bit
about staying below 27 percent health is good, and I recommend it, it's
not applicable to the income question and my reason for the need for
high income. OK, here goes.
iMobsters level 10:
Best attack: Flamethrower, Guard Dog, and Maserati.
Best defense: Flamethrower, Reinforced Kevlar Vest, and Maserati.
9 members cost for attack, 36,000 per hour.
9 members cost for defense, 68,400 per hour.
9 members cost for both, 68,400 per hour.
19 members cost for attack, 76,000 per hour.
19 members cost for defense, 144,400 per hour.
19 members cost for both, 144,400 per hour.
50 members cost for attack, 200,000 per hour.
50 members cost for defense, 380,000 per hour.
50 members cost for both, 380,000 per hour.
iMobsters level 22:
Best attack: Stick of Dynamite, Hired Thug, and Mafia Cruiser.
Best defense: RPG-7, Advanced Tactical Armor, and Big Rig.
9 members cost for attack, 389,700 per hour.
9 members cost for defense, 225,000 per hour.
9 members cost for both, 614,700 per hour.
19 members cost for attack, 822,700 per hour.
19 members cost for defense, 475,000 per hour.
19 members cost for both, 1,297,700 per hour.
110 members cost for attack, 4,763,000 per hour.
110 members cost for defense, 2,750,000 per hour.
110 members cost for both, 7,513,000 per hour.
iMobsters level 35:
Best attack: Time Bomb, Armed Guard, and Armored Lamborghini.
Best defense: RPG-7, Armed Guard, and Armored Lamborghini.
9 members cost for attack, 1,510,200 per hour.
9 members cost for defense, 1,494,000 per hour.
9 members cost for both, 1,564,200 per hour.
19 members cost for attack, 3,188,200 per hour.
19 members cost for defense, 3,154,000 per hour.
19 members cost for both, 3,302,200 per hour.
175 members cost for attack, 29,365,000 per hour.
175 members cost for defense, 29,050,000 per hour.
175 members cost for both, 30,415,000 per hour.
Are you all still reading? If you are, that's great! As you can see,
keeping low members in your group really helps out the cost so it's not
so much in hourly upkeep. However as you gain levels you will eventually
come across players who are fully armed up and who might find you. If
you have 9, 19, 29, 39, or 49 members in your mob, there is no way you
will be able to defend against a player with 150 or 175 members and who
might not even be fully armed up. Now, let's turn it the other way
around, and here's where I have a lot of fun. In my character, I'm fully
mobbed up, meaning I have 175 members at my level 35. However I'm not
fully armed up for attack. Instead, I'm fully armed up for defense. This
way if others attack me, they don't have as great of a chance at
winning. However what I like to do is browse player walls and find other
players who are higher levels than me, but who don't have good income
and who can't afford the upkeep on full equipment. This means that me
being a lowly level 35, I can beat players who are level 50, 60, 70, or
more because of their poor income. Sometimes players advance too quickly
and don't have the means to afford the equipment available to them at
the current level, and they are slaughtered by players who can afford
it. Or are slaughtered by lowly players like me, who have the income for
full armament, and the income to back it up.
Of course, this is just one style of game play, and there is no real
right or wrong way to play. Also, the advantage is any player can attack
any other player higher in level than they are. Even if you are level 8
or 9, you can attack a level 100 or 150 player. However the same is not
true backward. If you are level 100, the lowest you can attack is 75. If
you are level 75, the lowest is 60. Basically if you multiply your level
by 0.75, the number you get is the lowest player level you can attack.
I'm sure I've bruised some egos when my lowly 35 player beats many level
80 or 90 players.
Lastly, regarding income styles in other games, both Ninjas and Pets
have a fixed sort of income system, so you can't grow it like you can in
the other games like iMobsters, Vampires, or Kingdoms. I don't
personally care for Pets Live, but I do play the others.
I hope this is of some use to someone out there. My Storm8 id for
inviting me is asmo47 in case anyone wants.

Hi. I currently play pets live. kwex9 if you wish to add me. Anyway. I
am curious why so much income. You get so much per hour. If people
attack you they can only attack you till your health goes down below
27. So I am just curious why so much income. Also. when they attack
you they only get so much money if they win based on the level your
at. Also if your health stays under 27. Er what I mean is if the last
lost you took puts your health under way under 27. Then you have a
couple of hours to refresh health before you get attacked again. I am
just confused why you go for such high amounts of income. I am
currently at level 8. And I built my defense up pretty high. So most
of the time when I get hit I win the battle. I don't even attack
other players. I just don't have an interest. I like the questing and
the building things up aspect. Anyway it is true. Every player has
their own game style. I am not criticizing yours. I am just trying to
figure out why as people who attack you can only get so much money
from you. And once your below 27 health no one can attack you. So so
much money is it per hour or per day. Just confuses me. I may actually
do that myself. But it won't be because I think people will get all my
money. It is just I keep building up my defense until I can't build
anymore. Then I move on to the next level. But I quest. I don't attack
so I go slower. So maybe that is the difference too. I don't like
attacking much so still trying to decide whether I will put everything
in to defense or not. It is also true that you want other games to
play if your a heavy game person. This games do best when you have
them set up to just sit and wait until your ready to level. And every
game is actually different in one way or another. Like with pets live
from what I can see you only get 15 buildings. You can't keep ubilding
your buildings which I personally think is a shame. World war its
buildings are mostly defense which is good. But it takes a while to
build up income at first because at level 7 you only have two
buildings that you can get income from and you have to put some into
defense or you will loose every battle. imbosters has a covetted pink
ice ring I believe that everyone aims to get. ninjas also has a limit
on how many buildings you can have at one time but it is different
than pets live. racing live you have to make sure each person has a
car and each car has ever part except some parts don't work together
so you have to know what those are. It is different with each game.
Which I personally didn't see for a long time. Same concept is there.
Build and play as you like and hopefully win a lot. But the games are
definitely different. I am about ready to download another storm8 game
and begin building it up as pets live is slowing down a lot right now.
Some games you do better by attacking than questing if you want to
move fast. Others really you do better questing in some cases. So it
really like was said is how you want to play the game. A good idea at
first though is to build up your defense so you don't loose every
battle that comes your way. And make sure your army size ends in 9 or
4. Such as 4 9 14 19 24 29 34 so on. This puts you in the high bracket
of the current section of people who can attack. So your less likely
to be attacked if you stay at these levels. At least for the lower
levels of the game. I don't know about higher up. Jessica

Hi, how do you invest income if you've got all the land you can unlock for a
certain level? Just buy more of it. In world war at level seven or eight i'm
making about 10500 per hour from buildings at the moment.
