Clash by Hawkward - a guide

General Game Info

This guide will cover the basics of Clash. Should you have specific game-related questions, we recommend that you join “Mullet” — our online chat room — for real-time, peer-based feedback, review and interaction.

I’m supposed to do what with a mullet?

As the name suggests, both business and party are covered in Mullet — so don’t be surprised if you run into the occasional jokester in your quest for answers. We suggest you keep your head down and nose clean while you learn the ropes but, if that isn’t your style, you do you— just brace yourself for impact.

Online RPG

First things first. Clash is a violent, crime-themed, text-based RPG game. Repeat: This is just a game. It won’t compensate for other shortcomings or general douchery, but could provide a pretty bad-ass distraction. By the same token, there are some that take things very seriously. This isn’t always a nice game. If you can’t handle smack-talk, this probably isn’t for you.

The aim of the game is to become the best. How do you become the best? You lead fellow players in stats that best benefit your chosen class. At the end of each round, the Overall Best Player (OBP) is announced. Seem a bit intense? Maybe you’re more of a team player? Cartel wins are also coveted, with an increased emphasis on team building and camaraderie.

In order to gain those winning stats, players import and sell dope, pimp hoes and raid and steal from one another. Not wild enough? Cartels have added ability to go to war with others. Now we’re talking.

Crew

Your crew is the 3 characters you are allowed under a single login. Crew members can not be traded or re-started. Pick your classes carefully.

Profile Options

Hey there, snowflake. Yes, this is for you. This may be an old school styled game, but let’s not let that stop you from setting yourself apart. You are a beautiful butterfly amongst a sea of weeds, after all.
With you in mind, we’ve added customization options for everything from profile avatars to the color of your links. Don’t overstep your bounds — there are limits to our generosity — any overtly sexual/pornographic or gruesome images will get you banned faster than you can say “avocado toast.” We might give you a warning, we might not. Do yourself a favor and read the Terms of Service. So, pick your colors, your custom images, and organize you hitlist to suit your preferences — you deserve it.

Mobile

Hitting the porcelain throne and want to hire up or pay your staff? We gotchu, boo. Steal, raid, bomb and hire up from the comfort of your cubicle with your mobile device — our site is fully responsive for most common devices. We’ve even included shortcuts at the bottom of your screen which are, of course, also fully customizable.

Classes

After creating your account and choosing name(s), you need to choose your character classes. Although there are nine class options from which to choose, they all fit into two separate playing styles: hitting and building. Say what? Sit tight and keep reading — you’ll get it eventually.

Hitting vs Building.
Builders: Farmer, Salesman, Pimp, Banker
Hitters: Hitman, DEA Agent, Gangster, Mercenary
See details on each class below

Dope

Dope is king. All players have the ability to import, buy and sell dope. Predictably, farmers have better contacts for imports and salesmen have better sales contacts. Pimps need dope to supply their hoes and all other classes need to buy and sell it in order to bump those “street cred” stats. Not one of those classes? Don’t discount its worth. All players will need high-quality dope to boost offensive or defensive troop morale.
Dope Import Times: :30 & :50

Drug Inventory Management System

So you grew some Dope. Now what? Set up your inventory system to allow other players to buy from you. The Public Price aloows the entire game to see the Dope while the Cartel Price restricts the sales to only your Cartel mates. THis is a good way to keep the good quality for your team while selling off the shittier quality Dope. Would't you hate to sell off good quality to someone that will boot their troops to steal from you?
Once you have set your price per ounce, You will have to specify weather or not other Dope functions can occur.
AS is designated for "Auto Sale" with this turned on, any player at any time can buy that particular qulaity of Dope from you.
PS is designated for "Public Sales" this should be checked if you want the Dope to be sold by your delaers. This is usually turned off for the highest levels of Dope.
SM is designated for "Soldier Maintinance" this allows you to pay staff with this quality of Dope.
Finally, HM is designated for "Hoe Maintinance" when this is checked, Hoes will be able to get paid with this quality of Dope.

Got all that little grasshopper?
Now for advanced options. The split feature will take the quality of Dope selected and divide the quantity in half. This is useful if you want to hord a bit of quality Dope for yourself vs sharing with your cartel mates.
The stack option will combine all the selected items into one large stack. This is useful when you are getting your Dope ready for the sales teams.
Finally that Distro button. This is very important, after you steal Dope from someone, you are allowed to distribute it and cash it out. Your are only allowed to distribute the Dope you steal. So steal!

Sales

Dope sales are the primary revenue stream for most classes and provide an opportunity to increase their street credit score. The biggest sellers are salesmen, but all classes should build their sales teams as much as possible to increase cash flow.
Dope Sales Times: :00 & :40

Hoes

I got 99 problems, and hoes are every single one. Hoes are expensive to hire, but an integral part of the game. Keeping them supplied and happy with high levels of dope will pad that income. Word of warning: Don’t leave your girls vulnerable. Deter greedy opponents by keeping your defensive troops consistently hired and paid.
Hoe Income Times: :02 & :32

Morale

Just like in the office, staff morale is key to increase performance and decrease turnover. As the single most important factor in determining steal success, the effectiveness of your defense and whether your hoes see fit to stick around —and how much money they generate — morale is not to be overlooked. There are two ways to increase troop morale: paying staff and boosts.

Pay Staff

You're only as strong as your weakest member. Offense and defensive staff require payment. Pay attention, because this is important —defensive staff should be paid at all times, especially builders’ staff. Offensive Staff should be paid prior to activating any Boost. Forget health insurance and PTO. Here, staff morale is affected by the quality and amount of dope provided to staff. The higher the quality, the higher the morale.

Boosts

Boosts provide a temporary, across-the-board bump in morale for all staff. Boosts should be used wisely as they are timed events that require a cool-down period prior to re-activating. After each Boost times-out, the troop morale will significantly drop. Make sure you have enough high-quality dope to pay the defense once it drops.

Unsure of what Boost to choose? A hitter class would normally do the fast boosts, as they want their morale to peak immediately. Bankers and pimps would generally lean toward a slow boost.

Leveling

There are 300 total levels in the game. Aside from the bragging rights, leveling up is imperative for purchases, with every item requiring a certain level prior to purchase. In addition to unlocking items for purchase, you receive one skill point for each level achieved. These skill points can be used to increase a desired attribute, which we’ll explain further down. There are three categories that can be leveled.

Street Credit: Experiance gained by making money via Dope sales, Dope imports or pimping hoes.
Notoriety: Experiance gained by attacking other players.
Prestige: Experiance gained by buying items.

Scoring

Right now it is a big black box, felixx to update.

Player Stats

A bit OCD about your account? Want to flaunt your pwnage in individual categories? We have your back — all steals and sales are logged and ranked for your viewing pleasure.

Attack Ratio

You’re staring at your screen, not believing what you're seeing. You miss on a 60% chance and some noob turns around and hits you at 20%. We’ve been there, we’ve shaken our heads and we’ve moved on. It happens, deal with it. We’ve witnessed experienced vets fail with a 98% chance of success and, statistically, there’s also going to be someone that manages to pull off a 2%. While nearly unbelievable (and hilarious if it isn’t you that failed), we do keep track and will show you all relevant stats. Percentages will be tweaked if we see something off. Don’t worry, we are active owners.

Ultimate Status

Each class has an ultimate skill that is class specific that is "charged" by playing the game. When the ultimate is charged, you can activate it as desired. Read about specific ultimates in the class section.

Cartels

This is a savage game. Playing as a lone wolf can be fun, but there are benefits to be had with teamwork. Cartels can be created for team play, with each cartel holding up to 30 members. The emphasis here should be finding the right cartel fit for you. Tempers can run hot sometimes — find cartel mates with whom you mesh well.

Quick Tip: Cartels will be scored based on steal and loss stats. Getting a good mix of hitters and builders will help raise the cartel score.

Not so fast. Cartels are invite only. “How do you get an invite,” you ask? Easy. Message the cartel leader for an invite or join a cartel that has open join slots.

Among other things, the cartel boss will determine who can join and even has the power to kick out players. This individual is usually very involved in the game (so probably takes it entirely too seriously). In addition to choosing allies and starting wars, the cartel boss will set buys and keep control. Have lofty goals of one day leading your own cartel? Take it easy, champ. Cartel leaders don’t usually give up that position. So sometimes a Mutiny is required.

Cartel Wars

Cartel Bosses can start a war with another cartel. Go to the opposing cartel and either set them as enemies or allies.



After you have set ememy's. You will have the option to decalre a war.

Set up the war options and send the challenge over. The opposing cartel will have to accept. Points will be given for damage caused to the opposing players.
