Ah, UsefulNotes/{{Chicago}}. Hell of a town, ain't it? Beautiful skyline, flashy nightlife, and boundless opportunity to start a business... even if said business happens to be, shall we say, less than legitimate. It's 17 March 1920, and you're the newest face on the block - or maybe one of the oldest ones. [[TheMafia There's so]] [[TheCartel many]] [[TheIrishMob colourful]] [[TheTriadsAndTheTongs characters]] [[WretchedHive in this neck of the woods,]] you can barely keep track.

If you wanna rule this [[TitleDrop Empire of Sin]], you best be ready to stomp on, lie to, and sabotage the lives of a lot of people to get to the top of the food chain, while also painting yourself as an upstanding citizen to ensure the feds don't get too curious. Nobody said ruling Chicago was gonna be easy. Many in your shoes have tried and failed to get where you wanna go, boss. Will you succeed where they didn't and build a criminal empire to encompass the entire city? Or will you end up as another footnote in the history of Chicago's chaotic underworld?

!! Get your illegally brewed Tropes right here!:

* AffablyEvil: Most bosses have this in some form or another, though it varies in terms of frequency and genuineness. By far, the most habitual practitioner of this trope is Vice Kings leader Daniel [=McKee=] Jackson. He rarely, if ever, raises his voice, operates a funeral parlor that provides its services for free, and is unfailingly polite to those he interacts with, be they his friends or enemies. That said, he still leads a gang that operates no shortage of prostitution and gambling rackets to gain income, and he himself seeks political power in order to make his dreams of a better Chicago come true, no matter who he has to step on to get it. These two sides of Jackson are so different that people tend to think of them as two separate people - Daniel the "Humanitarian" and Daniel the "Businessman."

** Frankie Donovan's ability "Unleash Fury" involves him beating enemies to death with his trusty hurley. Taking a look will reveal that the weapon is named "Mo Chara Beag", which is Irish Gaelic for [[Film/Scarface1983 "My Little Friend"]].

Added DiffLines:

* GuideDangIt: Several of the game's Empire Quests ask you to engage with certain mechanics without explaining the inconsistent interface around them, such appointing a Councilor and an Underboss[[note]]which is ''relatively'' intuitive, as you can see icons for those two roles on your boss' character screen and appoint them from there[[/note]], sending TheMole to another gang[[note]]at the bottom of a gangster's screen, there is an "Assign Role" button, which can be used to assign them the Mole role (as well as the Councilor/Underboss -- which you wouldn't know if you assigned those through the icons on the boss' screen)[[/note]], and appointing a district boss[[note]]unlike the previous two, you can ''not'' use the character screen for that, but instead have to physically bring the gangster to the district's safehouse and have them interact with the desk usually found at the back of the office[[/note]].

Added DiffLines:

* DiscOneNuke: The Golden Tommy Gun is sold in the Black Market Store pretty much from the start of the game, and while it is quite pricey at 20 grand, it is more than worth it. Combined with Anvil Rounds, which add 10 damage to each shot (of which it fires 3 per salvo), the GTG is guaranteed to kill almost anything in one salvo until the late game, at which point the Gun 'Em Down ability[[note]]fire 3 shots at each enemy in range[[/note]] renders it ''even more'' broken, allowing a single attacker to wipe out an entire room full of thugs in a single turn.


Added DiffLines:

* InfinityMinusOneSword: The Confiscated Sniper Rifle takes a bit of an investment (you have to bribe the Chicago Police Dept until you have [[AllianceMeter +300 opinion]], gaining you the Honorary Deputy rank and unlocking the police shop), but is still much more readily accessible than comparable endgame sniper rifles, some of which require killing a rival gang boss in combat (such as Elvira Duarte's).

It's a hurley, not a "shillelagh".


** '''Frankie Fucking Donovan.''' Best reflected in his [[LimitBreak main ability]] which, unlike the other mob bosses, requires you to get 3 kills in order to activate. This ability allows you to charge into battle and smash enemy skulls in with a traditional Irish Shillelagh, and if you kill an enemy? You get all your action points back, and the ability can be used again.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope
