StreetsEmpire 1.3 is live on main.

This is our first major main release since 1.0 and includes the biggest additions from 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3.

The core StreetsEmpire loop is still here: turns, street work, product, stores, raids, runs, turf, hideouts, alliances, jobs and seasonal resets. But the middle and late game just got much bigger.

Businesses, Fronts & Rackets

City Blocks can now become real businesses.

Build businesses on blocks you control.
Assign staff to keep them operating.
Upgrade businesses and collect money from their registers.
Run businesses quietly as fronts or activate rackets for stronger bonuses with added risk and Heat.
Built player blocks are now fought over through Block Wars instead of instant takeovers.
Away-city businesses use outposts and can become convoy targets.

Businesses are meant to strengthen your empire—not replace street work.

Casinos

Casinos are now fully playable destinations.

Play:

Slots
Blackjack
Roulette
Street Dice
Poker

Each city has its own casino room, while Las Vegas is the full casino destination.

Chips belong to the city where you bought them, and you must physically be there to use its casino.

Rated play can unlock High Roller status, VIP rooms and comps. Comps are used for hotel time and never convert into cash or chips.

Casino Jobs, titles and cosmetics have also been added, along with a weekly multiplayer Poker circuit.

No paid feature changes casino odds.

The Law

Heat still rises and cools like before, but police now remember your activity through a private Case in each city.

Cases can grow from things like:

Busts and arrests
Road stops
Rackets
Hijacks
Torching or sacking businesses
Large cash movements
Other high-profile criminal activity

Your Case can progress through:

Quiet → Noticed → Under Investigation → Warrant → Federal

Cases are private. Other players cannot see them or add evidence to them.

When things get serious, you may need to deal with lawyers, officials, informants and warrants.

Local Cases stay in their city, while Federal attention can follow you.

Improved new-player navigation

What Hasn't Changed

The street game is still the heart of StreetsEmpire.

Businesses aren't free passive income. Casinos aren't the best money-making method. The Law doesn't replace Heat. Paid features never change gambling odds, combat math or Case math.

Start on the streets, build your empire, expand into businesses, hit the casino when you're feeling lucky—and keep an eye on the law when things get hot.

See you on the streets.
