尽管《黑帮战争》的古巴、莫斯科已经被Zynga关闭，但是该游戏的巴西任务却在日前通过《CityVille》进行了交叉推广活动，现在玩家只要访问《CityVille》，就可能遇到系统弹出的一个对话框（如下图所示），邀请玩家去体验这个全新的扩展任务。

pop-up

只要接受了这项邀请，玩家就可立即进入《黑帮战争》的巴西任务游戏界面（游戏邦注：截止本文撰稿，该任务目前仅限一些收到邀请的特定玩家），然后就可以看到包括资产、工作、道具、物品等全新的扩展内容。

《黑帮战争》的巴西任务拥有更流畅的用户界面，一共包括五个任务地点，但只有完成一个地点的任务，才能开启新地点的任务，这样玩家在游戏过程中就不会看到过于凌乱的屏幕界面。玩家会在里约热内卢开始执行任务，该地点包括11种不同的工作，每一种工作都有各自的细节图片，不会出现几种工作显示为同一张图片的情况。

Do Job

在完成每项工作时，系统信息会提示玩家耗损的能量值，以及获取的经验值和Real（巴西任务中的虚拟货币），玩家如果想胜任这项工作，就得购买武器、动物、交通工具等内容，点击“Do Job”这个铵钮，即可迅速购买所需道具推动游戏进程，无需来回切换商店和任务界面。

在巴西任务中，玩家将在活动中扮演全新的角色，你可以看到在“工作”页面上端有一个“成员”设置，玩家可激活“成员”的四个目录：工作、格斗、抢劫和资产。玩家可自由选择所需要激活的选项，但每隔18小时只能激活一次，如果圆满完成了协作任务，你就可以赢得特殊的奖励。

Crew line

“成员”一共有8种不同的工作种类可以激活（游戏邦注：这里指的是你的“成员”所扮演的角色，而不是需要耗损能量的工作任务），以下就是游戏中的相关奖励：

策略（Strategist）：在后面的20项工作中，工作技能会增加2倍；

撬锁（Lockpick）：在后面的20项工作中，战利品会增加2倍；

雇佣兵（Mercenary）：在后面的50次格斗中，无需耗损精力值；

神射手（Marksman）：在后面的50次格头中，攻击力会增加2倍；

侦察兵（Scout）：找到前三次抢劫任务中，含有特殊收藏物品的资产；

纵火犯（Arsonist）：确保在前三次抢劫任务中，成功获取前三项道具；

工头（Taskmaster）：让你的资产获得2倍的Real；

守护者（Guardian）：确保你的战利品在巴西任务的18小时内不被他人劫走。

在巴西任务中，玩家的资产相较其他任务也有不同的变化，支持玩家搜集建筑物的部件，升级自己的商业或资产，而不是花大量的钱财实现这种操作。

properites

玩家在玩成每一个地点的工作任务时，就会收到一件特别的道具，然后就可以开启新地点的关卡，当然你也可以继续呆在原地，最大化自己的工作技能，一直到升为四星的水平为止。

congratulations

总之，巴西任务包括全新的特性、武器、动物、交通工具、成就和一次性使用的抢劫道具，游戏玩家们可以通过登录《CityVille》点击通往巴西之旅的铵钮，抢鲜体验该游戏。（本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译，转载请注明来源：游戏邦）

Play CityVille for instant access to Mafia Wars Brazil – Our first look

If you’ve been disappointed by the closure of both Mafia Wars Cuba and Moscow, perhaps the new release of Mafia Wars Brazil will cheer you up. If you’ve fallen out of playing Mafia Wars, or if you’ve never even begun, you’ll be invited to do so the next time you play CityVille via a pop-up like the one above. Apparently, this is one offer we won’t want to refuse – yikes!

If you accept, you’ll be given instant access to Mafia Wars Brazil, which is apparently only available to certain players as of this writing (like those that take advantage of the CityVille invitation). Once you make your way into Brazil, you’ll see that the new expansion comes with all new jobs, properties, items and more, just as you’d expect from any proper Mafia Wars expansion.

We’ve got a full look at what this expansion contains, so meet us behind the break.

Mafia Wars Brazil is perhaps the most technically impressive of the game’s expansions, with a streamlined user-interface. Each of the location’s five districts are unlocked to you one at a time, by completing missions in the district before, and as you do jobs, you’ll see a lot less clutter crowding the screen. You’ll start in Rio de Janeiro: Centro, which contains 11 separate jobs, each of which comes with their own detailed image, rather than there just being an image for every few jobs.

You’ll still see how may energy points you’ll need to complete each job, and how many experience points and Real (this expansion’s currency) you’ll receive for completing each job, but that’s it in terms of information. If you need to purchase items (weapons, animals, vehicles, etc.) in order to be eligible to complete the job, this will be shown to you once you click on the “Do Job” button, and you’ll be able to instantly purchase the needed items and move on, without moving to the store and back again.

In Brazil, your Mafia plays a new and special role in your activities. You’ll see a Crew line at the top of your Jobs page, and you’ll be able to activate Crew members in one of four categories: Jobs, Fighting, Robbing, and Properties. Depending on which positions you activate (which can only be done once every 18 hours), you’ll be able to earn special bonuses while completing the accompanying tasks.

Their are eight different Crew “jobs” that can be activated (that is, roles that your crew can play – not jobs that require energy). Here are their bonuses:

Strategist – Twice the Job Mastery for the next 20 Jobs you do

Lockpick – Twice the loot for the next 20 Jobs you do

Mercenary – No stamina used for your next 50 fights

Marksman – Double attack power for your next 50 fights

Scout – Finds properties that have special collection items for your first three Robbing screens

Arsonist – Guaranteed success of robbing your first three properties on your first three Robbing screens

Taskmaster – Twice the Real earned from your properties

Guardian – Protects your properties from being robbed while in Brazil for a span of 18 hours

Properties have also been changed in Brazil (when compared to some other locations), requiring you to collect building parts to upgrade your businesses/properties to the next star-level, rather than just spending a large sum of money to do so.

Each time you complete the first wave of jobs in a new District in Brazil, you’ll receive a special item, and will unlock the next District, but you can of course always stay in your current location and work on maximizing your Mastery on those jobs to the four-star level.

Brazil comes with new properties, new weapons, animals, vehicles, achievements, and one-time use loot items. There’s a ton of content here to look at and play through, so make sure to login to CityVille and activate your pass to Brazil, if it isn’t available in your game by default.（source:blog.games）
