giving lower level players a chance to fight and win in gang wars is important. Maybe the gangs can have "terf" and higher level gangs can buy hide outs in other parts of town. gangs in different parts of town can only fight other gangs in the same part of town. Each part of town has 1000 respect points. members of gangs with more respect points get a bonus in crimes, shorter jail times, etc. Each gang has the same number of respect points at start, and looses them when they loose a war. points divided if more then one gang fighting.(the war over for all attackers as soon as the defender is at 0 gang hit points) A gang that controls say 50% of down town has a chance of catching some one commiting a crime in their part of town (after the system has detrimined that the crime has failed). the gang should get some kind of reward for that based on the percentage of respect points they controll. money, exp, or somthing like that. (this makes the gangs more attractive to new members)
