Overview / Summary of Gangs in Urban Empires.
Gangs are created in-game. You need to have a certain amount global respect before you can create a gang. You can earn this player-independent respect by playing in the UNRANKED servers. UNRANKED servers allow for any combination of players/gangs and don't count towards a gang's respect points [if you are a member of a gang]. Only the boss of a gang can determine who can join. The second person who joins the gang is it's luitenent. All other people who join after the 2nd person, become soldiers of the gang. You build up your personal respect much faster by being a member of a gang.
In order to play in a RANKED server you need to be a member of a gang. There can be a maximum of 9 members in each gang, though it only takes one player to challenge & play against another gang or group of gangs for respect points. A certain amount of respect points will be pooled from each participating gang [there can be up to 6 gangs per server @ 3 members per gang, or 1 on one gang battles with all 9 members participating on either gang.] The number of respect points pooled from each gang will be deteremined by a number of factors. For instance if the #1 ranked gang challanges the #50th ranked gang, 1000s of respect points will be pooled from the higher ranked gang, since the 50th ranked gang is so un-likely to win. This is a theoretical situation and the actual formula will have to be tweaked over time.
Once in-game you will be able to message/communicate with all other players that are online. in the 'Global lobby'. This is also where you can choose to join a server, view stats, arrange matches, etc.
