Movie s like 0.5 % of the novel. Of course novel! Plus film does not say Corleone ran whorehouses. But wow...of course novel is much better   <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">

Here's a quote from the novel:


 




"Don Corleone smiled. âââ¬ÃâHow do I know until I hear the percentages and other details? Besides I have to have time to think over the advice given here tonight. After all, Iâââ‰â¢m not a man who does things rashly.âââ¬

Ohh btw Matteo. You shoudl definately add some secret apartaments to Capoletti Italian Quarter for your war needs. Just like in Godfather the family was "going to the mattresses" during the war so that soldiers and other members could have secret bases. You can also add some mission storyline to this (like somebody snitching the apartaments to other family members etc.). Just an idea.

Looks great Matteo. Just be cautious about the whorehouse (in case you want to add this "feature" to your club). Remember, Godfather had moral values and he was against prostitution. Just saying  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">  Well done.

Yea man I realize that's a lot of work. I was just suggesting a path you could take. I really liked the first Capoletti Mod. Might you quess why? It was not really anything special. A lot of map bugs, few NPC's speeches, few routine missions and that's it. But I really liked it. I still play it from time to time actually. Because unlike most games/other mods this one provided unique...I would also add "old school" experience where games take a little bit of imagination. Remember old school RP games like Ultima series and other sandbox (or rather "complete-it-as-you-can") games of 80s? There had little to no graphics, little speech, primitive sounds, but some of them made you think you're actually interacting with a quite realistic world. It's like reading a book. Same with Matteo's Capoletti mod. It has little to show (compared to a really nice mods like LA Cosa Nostra or The Commission Mod etc.) but it has a very unique atmosphere and makes you feel (well, at least me) like you're watching a short, but very good movie about a crime family. When I play Nico it seems like I am a high ranked member of the underworld society rather than just a soldier like Thommy Angelo (even though all what I do is all about dodging bullets, but oh well at least I have some bodyguards hehe). Capoletti 2 (if you happen to finish everything you want in which I wish you a good luck Matteo) should be just a masterpiece in the field of Mafia I mods.


 




Highly organized crime family does not end with only killing a Don..there are always members to control its business and this is the difference between the Family and just a random gang, which could be elliminated easily (that's what the Godfather was doing during The Pacificationn of NYC).


 




PSS So is Maranella behind the drugs in Lost Heaven and Picolli just his puppet then?  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">

Matteo I have an idea regarding the elimination missions. I know it's all about dodging bullets with a lot of rival gangsters on your way and then finishing the rival Don, however wouldn't it be more fun to make other families more realistic? There's a hierarchy screenshot of the Capoletti crime Family, however all other NYC Families are just Don's and their soldiers. I think it would be interesting if you could elliminate other key members of the families before killing a Don so as to make a family more disorganized/weaker. For example there could be several Capos and/or Consigliere in other families and if you eliminate one of the Capos then one of the rival families business also becomes inactive for a while and the family could have less income/more arrests from the cops etc. If you assasinate one of the rival familie's Consigliere then next time you visit a DOn there could be way less bodyguards than in avarage missions. With a Consigliere's advices Don's could predict Nico's incoming and put a lot of soldiers in your way, but without him his defense could be way less effective and it would be easier to kill them.




I know you had loads and loads missions going on for a while. Such as a mission where you can easily kill one of the rival families member in his mansion while he's washing his car or something (is that still in, btw?) so there could as well be other members in other families, not just the Don's.


 




Also, you portrayed the Capoletti not only as a crime family, but also as a family in general. You could add some bloodines to other sicilian families and there could be a mission where they kidnap Bonnie Capoletti and later Nico and his men has to kidnap one of the Don Piccoli's (for instance) daughter so as to get ransom etc.


 




Plus in the your night video there's a moment of them shooting in the Don Tommy (not sure if he recovers or meets maker though). You can also make a mission after which Nico is sent to Sicily under other Don's protection for a while and while the Don is in the hospiral (or dead?) one of the Capo's becomes the head of the family and later is killed because of the conspiracy of Piccoli (the most powerful Don out of all I quess)(like Santino) and then Nico comes back and takes over the family.


 




That would make missions more creative than simply dodging bullets etc. Just an idea, tell me what you think.

Ruby's Mods / Commission Mod - Part 1
January 30, 2012, 09:43:28 AM
Thanks Ruby! That's like the only mod out there where you have to work for Morello  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">  Btw, the mod is great, but in some cases dialogues are vague and soulless, such as in case when Francos son was blown up. Also, the last van robbery mission, would be great if they would empty it warehouse and then Franco was told to take it out of town and then blow it up so as to destory any evidence. A bank van by the warehouse is a little suspicious haha. Just a suggestion. Great mod Ruby, can't wait for the next part!
