Easy Life

The Easy Life is an expensive action in terms of wealth, but is fun to watch (especially if you catch it in the afternoon with the sun going down - you'll see why later). It is a good way of increasing the morale of your men and gives you a good feeling of doing something nice for once!

Action Walkthrough

Depending on who and what you choose as variables to the action, what you see on screen may well differ from my screenshots. This walkthough shows you how the action unfolds - for specific game help and hints about actions see other parts of my site or the manual. The ingame tutorial will also help.

All thumbnails are "clickable".

Let's get going. This action requires a hefty chunk of cash so look out!
In this action we give our faction dude a free car and a load of praise, so lets choose the lucky bugger...
You also have to choose a district and a roadside - it has to be near a road because of the car... seems obvious when you think about it!
I've chosen to do the action near a subway entrance, so the AI works out that I would probably use this means of transport to get there. So here I come. You'll also notice it is the evening, but I doubt this matters for this action.
I look pleased with myself!
I hang around waiting for my man to show, occasionally cleaning my shoe on the back of my leg or coughing. Wait a minute... look who's coming in the background...
Surely it isn't...
It is! Our friend Yuri deserves a bit of TLC so I decided to give him the car.
What was I thinking?!
We chat for a while...
... and the camera pans down to arm level. What's that I hold in my hand?
I hand the keys over...
... and he looks pretty amazed.
You can't tell, but this is a monster handshake. Nearly rips my arm off.
Looks like he is happy!
Yuri starts off to the car... but what am I doing?
He gets in and drives off...
And I take a drag on the biggest cigar you have ever seen. I'm feeling pretty chuffed with myself at the moment. The first time I played this action, I managed to get him lighting up with the sunset in the background and some cool music playing from somewhere nearby... it looked really cool.
There are various possibilities with this screenshot but I'll resist the temptation...
Cigar finished, I stub it out.
Let's do it again. This time I'm meeting another faction member in the middle of the day. The action will stay the same but let's get some better shots of the smoking.
Whoops - flying low... can't give away cars with your boxers poking out!
Let's skip a few scenes - my mate has his key now. It's hard to see, but it is raining a little in this shot... you can see one of the raindrops very clearly.
While he is jumping for joy and getting in this brand new (well for me anyway) car, let's zoom on the giver himself.
Not to try and promote any virtues of smoking, there are a couple of coughs every now and again.
The smoke is OK, although the screenshot is unflattering.
One last drag...
And it's out.
