Here's some tips:
Also check out the Pimpin' FAQ on the right side of the screen.
Your networth is determined by the amount of hoes you have ($500), thugs ($1000), crack ($5), kevlar vest ($3000) and money on hand. Nothing else counts, so if you want to "hide" money for later use buy Weed and AK 47s because those offer the highest % of resale respectively.
Don't make yourself a prime target! This means don't sit there with 5,000 hoes and 10,000 thugs, people will attack you and steal your hoes. Always have at least 10x your hoes in thugs. When you have 10,000+ hoes however you'll want to have 200,000+ thugs, at 20,000+ hoes, have at least 500,000 thugs.
Always keep your hoes and thugs at 100% happiness, 1 thug needs 1 beer, weed, and ak47. Make sure you have enough condoms or your hoes will die ( I always have at least 500k+ condoms and crack), this is not a good thing because hoes = money. The more hoes you have, the more money you'll make and the more thugs you can buy.
Turning tricks by 8 turns is the best way to recruit hoes and thugs.
When turning tricks by 50 or 100 turns(100 is better but spend fast!!) always have 2 windows open (one for the turning tricks, and one for the idle-mart). This way as soon as you turn, you can switch over to the idlemart and spend fast!! just remember to divide the millions (or billions ) digit by 4, so if you make 20 million, buy 5k thugs and 5k ak47s. (Num pad, tab, and enter are your friends to spending fast)
Forumula to steal hoes (they must have 0 thugs, so if they have thugs, kill the thugs first.): amount of crack to send = (hoes x 500) - networth / -33. (Note: If you only get a very small amount of hoes, for example he has 5k hoes and you only steal 24, send 20% of the original amount of crack because this means he has a lot of kevlar vests)
Drivebys are great for killing because you will lose less thugs and kill more than a traditional home invasion. However low riders are expensive and it's not recommended you buy them until you have at least 10,000 hoes. In latter stages of the round I don't buy them until I have 1 million thugs. Just remember you need to have 1 lowrider per 4 thugs to be fully effective. Likewise if you would like to steal rides, find a pimp who has too many rides for the amount of thugs he has and if you have more thugs than him you should be able to steal a good amount. If you get 0 rides the first time, try it again a few more times.
Birmingham is the city you default to and is a great place to learn and build. Faster paced cities like Atlanta and Stockholm have their advantages, but it will be rough on a new player. Birmingham recruits average amount of hoes and thugs but will give you the least amount of money. Stockholm will recruit the highest amount of hoes/thugs and pays an average amount. Atlanta and Brooklyn will pay the most money, and give you the least hoes/thugs. I don't know about Toronto because they just added it last round and I haven't gotten a chance to check it out yet.
I've found the best way to learn is to just keep playing, and don't complain if you get attacked, it happens to everyone. I've been zeroed 3 or 4 times already this round.
Any questions, just ask via PM either here or in the game!
Have fun and happy pimping!
