Sorry, we don't have anyone with experience on that map.

I'd be happy to help you out.
The main thing that you want to do on that map is take the General Population. You should take Big Smoke then build up a considerable stack on him. Make sure you get a card each round as well. Then, when you are ready, try and take all of Gen. Pop. in one go. After that, you should focus on eliminating other players in order to get their cards.
Hope this Helps!

first off thank you. i had a couple other questions if you dont mind:
1. why is the general population important to take and hold?
2. are weapons good to have, or are they not worth the energy to take?
3. at what point should i try to take the warden?
4. is it possible to win without a gangleader?
5. should i go for the leader of the gang that i have the most members of?
....etc etc etc

if you can answer any of these questions it would be awesome
thank you again.

just wanted to say thank you for the help. I took your advice and took all of the general population, and I also took the warden after some grabbed him and the gas chamber. I was subsequently kicked out of the general population, but then proceeded to take almost over half of the board in one turn. I began the turn with 15 regions, and 5 cards. I ended the turn with 79 regions and 4 cards after eliminating 3 players and cashing in 5 times for over 250 units.

I kinda wanted to just post about this turn. I thought it was pretty epic and I am hoping that is as awesome as I believe and that I am not just a noob. Anyway thank you for the help

You're doing good. That is the only way to win escalating games. Now you have to cash in a set before your opponent, and win the game. If you don't take him out, you will lose. Good luck

agreed. i looked at the game and you do need to cash in other wise you are dead. if your opponent cashes in before you I don't know if you will last it out

5. should i go for the leader of the gang that i have the most members of?

a frequently-effective tactic is to attack the leader of the gang that gives the biggest bonus to ur opponent.
