koomodeee Posted November 21, 2004 Author Share Posted November 21, 2004 OK, I have 98.12% control of territories, I hold 55 territories, the Vagos hold 1...I cannot for the life of me see anywhere on the map where they could be. Does anyone have a list of where all the Vagos are stationed. I'm thinking it has something to do with me dying during one of the fights, that makes mixed control right? I can't see any that are yellow/green....seems like one time I died and the area turned normal (clear) color. HELP PLEASE!! Yeah, green and yellow are the hard ones to spot, but Im pretty sure if you have partial controll it wont change the percentage, try taking over the one up by the boat school if you havnt already, and look for REALLY tiny slivers of yellow that mix in well with your green.

J. Achilles Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 My strategy of all time is: Grab a four door car and shove as many men in ther as possible, drive around the enemy a few times to get them in a circle, WHAM! drive straight through them and as they get up (if they survived) one driveby wastes em all Or Grab a USAF jet and blow em all to hell! Suprisingly enough its a good strategy of all above And ive nicked some of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherp45 Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 ok here's the deal... I'm not far in the game, heck I don't have the bridges open... But I can recruit members now, and I have some territories... but I want to share my toughts on why there's some attacks on 100% guys... maybe the tags have something to do with it... maybe in the same area the attacks are. maybe the tags will change the light green to dark green. I saw in the gamespot's game guide(Gamespot's SA homepage) the attacks occur when an enemies' territory are next to yours... there's a border to do an attack. so look for territories next to your attacked one because I have all the territories near the beach in LS... and i didn't have attacks there... so...

DualSawnoff Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 have a tiny little block left at the jefferson motel.. its only on the jefferson motel block! i never see any ballas around there.. Has anyone else encountered this? I'm having the same problem, and every time I'd see some Ballas in the little U at the Motel, I'd shoot 3 and start a gang war with the ...Vagos? Ech. Ah well, Now I have the territory above Jefferson Motel that was formerly Vago territory. But why did killing Ballas iniate a war with the Vagos?!

Bendejo Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Hey CLN, have you checked the boat school area near Tierra Robada, caus there is a Vagos area there. You might have problems with finding the Vagos, but after a while they should spawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DualSawnoff Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 By the way, is it me, or are the small territories usually the hardest to take during a turf war? I started a gang war at the Jefferson Motel bit and the first wave was carrying SMGs and even an AK or two >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney5981 Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 nice post, thanks for the tips HOW THE HELL DO I START A GANG WAR IN THE EL CORONA AREA NEAR UNITY STATION!!!!!!!!!

wildhalcyon Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 just a suggestion for those wanting 100% territories - dont fly southeast for a very long time and then die. Its a pretty much proven glitch to add "new" territories to the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loseruser Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Did anyone else find a VIBRATOR behind the dumpster on the empty lot while searching the (final) Vago territory up there in Las Venturas? I'll take a photo, maybe it is topic worthy if no one has found it. I doubt that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also cant find any gangs in SF, apart from battery point, but they dont kick off either!!?? CAN ANYONE HELP??!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender* Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 im not sure anyone else has encoutered this. i got 100% territory taken over and while i was working on 100% game completion, a new territory was taken over by the ballas (in sf an area containg the hospital), so i think that all the territories will open over time, im not sure how they become unlocked, perhaps it has something to do with the running respect, but i think you will be able to control the entire state eventually.

bobo_the_ape Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 Well, in my game, I have 62% of the territories, and the OGs control 105ish of them...but I used the territory glitch. Anyway, here is the strategy I used. First, I never wasted any money on ammunition. By the time I got to the point in the game in which I was ready to start taking over territories, I was hitman with most of the weapons (I'm still not with combat shotgun or deagle/spistol). What I ended up doing was killing crack dealers for a long time to pick up their drops ($2k/pistol) so I had lots of pistol ammo, then I would kill a group of ballas with my pistols, pickup their micro-smgs. By this time, the gang war has started. First thing I do is run to a roof, but always a roof with a slant. No flat roofs. I creep up so I can just barely see over the roof. For the first way, which in the easy territories is mostly baseball bats, I just used my pistols since I had lots of ammo for those. In the second wave, I used pistols for as long as I could until the guys got to a point that they would be shooting at me. At this point I switched to the micro-smgs and started bustin' heads. A few usually kept approaching, and anytime someone was right up against the house, I would cap him with the pistol since I would get a head shot. After the second wave, I run around picking up cash/guns/health/armor, and then wait for the third wave to spawn. Back to the roof. Finish off this wave, normally entirely with the micro-smg (or regular), and then I not only got the territory, but also I got some AKs. All the ammo I used to do gang wars was ammo I got by killing people. Some notes...for the territories beyond the original 54, I now have access to easier weapons because of things like 100 tags, and my armor is better because of Lvl 12 vigalante. These are both things that can easily be achieved at any point after you've re-opened the gang war stuff so if you're having difficulty, I'd suggest that. Other hints... Cars, not safe for CJ, not safe for Ballas. If you're trying to take over a territory, stay out of cars, but don't be afraid to use on for cover. If it catches on fire, run in a straight line so that the car is exactly between you and the ballas (or vagos). Half the time the other gangsters get to the car as it explodes. If you're defending a territory, use a car. Make a real quick drive through down one side of the street, running over most of the gangsters. Shotgunners should mean you're getting dark smoke. Whip the car around, come back down the same side of the street and slam the car into the gangster car farthest from you (there are normally two), get out, and run. I would rarely actually have to shoot gangsters when defending my territories via this method. Other notes: AI gangs can only attack neighboring hoods. What does this mean? It means the best strategy is to take over all of the east part of Los Santos kicking the other two gangs completely out before worrying about anything else. If you do this, those territories on that half of the island are not at risk while you're near Vinewood or Verona Beach trying to finish out the Ballas. By the way, because they can only attack neighborhoods that border them, this means that once you have 100%, your territories will never be attacked again. Oh yea, making sure you have the GF that can be found at the SF Country Club is a very good idea...even if you're not doing gang wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobo_the_ape Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 For those of you wondering about how or why you have more than 54 territories, read this thread: http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=161643&st=0 There are about 180 territories in my game, and they're not all controlled by Ballas or Vagos to my knowledge.

lincoln12 Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 I've beaten the game,and am just goin around cleaning house,taking over hoods. If any of you are giving this a run , this is easy as pie. I use the "BLACK PROJECT" it is so simple. They "gangs" are not good at shooting into the air,, trust me. Hovering is the key.. I fly,, they run,, THEY DIE.. I cleaned all teritory in about an hour and half.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you have 100% of the territories do they still get attacked/can you lose them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobo_the_ape Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 n00b questions: 1. If you own a territory can it only be attacked by a gang bordering your territory? 2. Once you have 100% of the territories do they still get attacked/can you lose them? 1. Yes (exceptions) 2. No (exceptions) The exceptions for both are when you only partially control a territory and members from both gangs spawn in a certain hood, but I took over all of the Eastern part of Los Santos leaving the two western areas alone for a while and never got attacked, so just make sure you completely control all your territories.

ingsoc747 Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 Question... I had taken over a lot of land in Los Santos, before completing the High Stakes Low Rider mission. Now that I completed that and I'm doing stuff on the outskirts, I noticed all the colored gang areas are gone. Does this mean all my work was for nothing, or will my territory come back???

ewilliam Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Here's my two cents on gang warfare: 1) Yes, as others have said, the Desert Eagle is the one and only gun for gang warfare (well, the sniper is useful once in awhile). I usually roll with at least 700 DEagle rounds. 2) Stock up on Remote Explosives if you can. They can come in handy when there's a whole bunch of insurgents trapped behind a tall fence. Just drop a charge, step back, and watch out for flying body parts. 3) There have been quite a few battle strategies discussed here. I must say, after a great many battles, the best overall strategy is to give yourself plenty of room. Don't get trapped. Yes, long, one-sided alleyways work, but the key is to pay attention to the blips on the map, and just keep retreating down a big open street. Just turn around every once in awhile, kneel down, and take out anyone in auto-target range. The reason behind this is that, assuming you have Hitman level on your DEagle, you will be able to auto-target, and get the kill, long before your opponents are in firing range. I have tested this, and it is especially helpful with those assf*ck Vagos. The easiest battles I've had were the ones along the big 4-lane highway on the east coast of LS. I just keep firing, and if it gets hairy, I retreat a little bit. This is also great if you have the sniper rifle. If you can retreat far enough down the street, and you're a good shot with the rifle, then you can thin out their ranks long before they even catch sight of you. 4) If you need to make a mad dash for armor or health, and there's a throng of insurgents standing in your path, you might think twice if they're Vagos. The Ballsacs aren't as hard to get through in one piece, but the Vagos, dang...I've had full health/full armor and tried to run by them on 2nd or 3rd wave, and I don't make it 10 feet. They are brutal! 5) If you're crouching and rolling, keep this important fact in mind: if you roll while reloading, once you finish your roll, he will have to begin the reload all over again. This means that it is possible to spend like 4 seconds reloading, while getting blasted upon. Several times, for me, it was the difference between life and death. So be aware of how many rounds are left in your clip, and whatever you do, do not roll if CJ is reloading. 6) Assuming you have unlocked Didier Sachs, dress up in nice digs before going out to blast. This will ensure that CJ says hilarious sh*t when he shoots them, such as "I'm a well-dressed maniac" or "I look good, but I'm a killer" 7) A motorcycle can come in handy if you need to retreat or make a charge through a line of gang members. Sure, if they're vagos, they'll probably set the thing on fire by the time you're through the line, but you'll still have time to hop off and run before it blows up. Plus, if you have an SMG or mini-SMG, you can drive-by on them for an added bonus. 8) After you've won a territory, take a moment to search the surrounding blocks for armor & health pickups if you need them. They stick around for a few minutes, and this can save you time if you're going to start another gang war right away. 9) Save. I can't say it enough. Save! If it's terribly inconvenient, and there's a group of dudes standing right there on the corner just waiting to be blasted on, well, do what you gotta do. But if you have taken alot of new gang territory since your last save, just play it cool. If you end up in the wrong place at the wrong time, a group of AK-wielding Vagos can turn the tide pretty quickly. And remember, if your health is running low and there's a herd of gun-toting f*cks on your heels, there is absolutely no shame in running and living to fight another day. If you do end up dead, it might be a gut reaction to load up your last save, since you lost all your weapons...but just think for a second. Depending on how many weapons you had, it'll probably only take a few minutes to load up again. And if you're low on cash, well, then, either try the ITB get-rich-quick scheme, or, see above. Run! Save! And, in the words of Willie Jones, you live, you live to fight another day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not going to find ballas inside, you will find them in the parking lot near the sidewalk, or on the sidewalk. If you dont see any, drive away for a sec and come back, keep doing that until you see a group of three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a similar problem up in the Chicano area. Just north of the Jefferson Motel, there's that swatch of territory with the big steep street going thru it. And the vagos would attack it at least once a day. But I have since took out their surrounding territories. Now, no more attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
