Hi there being playing for a while now. I am level 67 but seem to be having difficulties.
I can't find anyone with a lower attack or defense So i can't attack or rob anybody
My attack is 5154
My defense is 5692
my income per hour is 15000
Have anyone got any idea what i should do. I don't want to keep going up a level and always be weak.

Just reduce your mafia size till you find better rival lists for you. Cheers.

Camp out.
We all have to do it at some point. Squat on your income properties, collect the cash, and re-invest in your attack and defense stats by buying weapons and upgrading/buying defense buildings.
I am at level 53 and I leveled up way too fast. Without any sort of guide, I thought that was the whole point. Then I started losing every robbery and realized that I had to re-think this. So I have stayed at level 53 for a while, spent a little gold on defense buildings(optional-I am impatient), and raised my defense from below 3000 to over 4500 in less than 2 weeks. After I get it to a level where I am comfortable about not being robbed, I will upgrade attack weapons and cash buildings until I am statistically dominant at my level.
Then I will level up at a much more controlled pace.

I thought rival lists were all about your level and not about your mafia size. You can only use a fixed amount of mafia at any given level anyway.

Just do as my advice and you will see how. Trust me.
Everytime I talk something there will be 1 or 2 guys object, I am lazy to do argue now.
Before trying to downsize your mafia, you might also try playing at different hours. I'm on the west coast of the USA and the "texture" of the rivals list changes pretty dramatically starting at around 3:30-4am (ish). That's morning time on the east coast of the country, when a big blob of people are waking up and getting online.
In particular, I see a lot more rivals with mafia numbers closer to mine (I keep a small mafia already, though). Overall stats tend to be lower with smaller mafia. Unfortunately, awake people also tend to make collection rounds on their hoods, so the rate of decent robbing opportunities also goes down a little. YMMV for other countries like the UK ("thick", eh?), it probably all depends on the server/network architecture of the CC systems.

I thought this myself at first but then, technically our hoods are always available for others to rob or attack us, regardless of time zones. But now I think as you said it is just down to some obscure calc, Funzio will probably never say.

That is a good point Max!
I'm not sure if rivals are matched on Mafia size or level... I always thought it was on level. But then I've always had the maximum mafia available for my level.
I'm going to start a thread on it!

Infact.... wasnt khung003 complaining about the fact that people in his rivals list had far more mafia members than he did the other day?
If that is the case then its probably a case of rivals being matched on level rather than mafia size.

:D, you talked too much but the fact is you are weak, be strong and you will see many things you never experienced in your life haha

With Max Power on this one. You've got a decent hourly income. Use it to buy items. I'd stock up on ak47s, brass knuckles and armored gloves.. This is assuming you haven't done this already enroute to getting to level 67. If you have.. Keep trying to find people with lesser defense than your attack by around 500 points. (I'm level 66 and I find a few guys with 4k something defense). Attack them as opposed to robbing them. This lets you complete the championship, thug life, winning streak and hardcore hitman rounds ultimately giving you a bonanza of respect points.. which you can use to buy better guns and armour.
