Past Prologue<\/strong>
\nIf you’ve been listening to the podcasts<\/a>, you probably heard about some changes coming down the pipe for Gang Warfare. Well, I’d like to take a second to talk about them here.<\/p>\n

Allowing patrollers and ambushers to be in multiple places at once for Gang Warfare had a few unpleasant design effects (along with being a little weird). Among other things, it’s why there couldn’t be a system of “digging in” and fortifying areas.<\/p>\n

So, you can no longer be in multiple places at once in Gang Warfare. Some will say it’s a nerf and I don’t disagree, although that’s not the main reason I had to make the change. You’re welcome to yell “NERRRRRRRRRRRRRF!” at your screen if it makes you feel better, though.<\/p>\n

“But what about the fortification thing you were talking about?” you may ask if you lived to help me narrate (in which case, thanks). Well, I’m a big believer of delivering nerfs with a heaping side of new content that explains why the nerf had to happen.<\/p>\n

Fortification<\/strong>
\nThere is now an unlockable ability to strengthen your patrols and ambushes with various special effects dependent on the area they’re in. That’s the generally sweet part I’ll let you work out yourself.<\/p>\n

The part I want to be clearer on is that there are a few new interface bits to interact with to get supplies to the different areas.<\/p>\n
