Domination and city control

One contest in each city

Domination is Street Crime's continuing contest for city districts. Amsterdam, Bogota, Las Vegas, London, Moscow, New York, Rome and Tokyo each have their own board. The board you open is the city your character is in; travel by airport to inspect another city. These are live city standings, not a completed-season championship or a promise that one crew controls the whole world.

A district has an individual boss. When that boss belongs to a crew, the district wears the crew's colour and counts toward its city total. Several members can therefore help their crew climb by holding separate districts. The standings show districts held, the crew's share of that city's board and the last awarded hourly spot.

Read the board before acting

• Held means a district has a boss and shows that boss's crew colour. Contested means nobody bosses it yet, although players have turf or a crew headquarters there. Free means nobody bosses or has built on it.
• The standings rank crews by the number of districts they hold in this city. The percentage is their share of all districts on this city board, not their share of every city.
• The Board column shows the spots awarded at the last hourly re-rank. An upward or downward marker means the current district count could change that spot at the next hour; it is not a final result.
• Use Held, Contested, Free, My crew or Mine to focus the map. Open a district tile to read its boss, turfs, crew headquarters and the current police offer before deciding what to do.

How to make your first district play

The police only take a bribe from an eligible character whose turf sits in that very district. You need the required rank, a crew and turf in the city you are standing in. Your Position on the board names the blocker if you are not ready and points to your turf district when you are. Building property on your personal turf is a separate activity; read the turf guide if you need to establish that base first.

1. Join a crew and build your turf. If your turf is in another city, travel there and open that city's Domination board.
2. Find the star marking your turf district, then open its district page. Other tiles are useful to inspect, but only your own turf district can take your offer.
3. Read whether the district is already held and check the asking range on the district screen. A vacant district can still be contested by turf or a crew headquarters; contested does not mean it already has a boss.
4. Choose an offer only if you can afford the cash and the risk of another player taking the district later. A successful offer makes you the district boss and paints it in your crew's colour.
5. Return to the board to see your crew's current district count. The top three hourly spots update on the hour, so a new tile does not instantly make your crew the City Don.

What the hourly spots mean

On the hour, the game ranks crews separately in each city by districts held. If crews tie, the lower crew ID takes the higher position. The top three awarded spots pay lead to their members, divided across each crew. The live board shows the current amounts. First place is the City Don until a later hourly re-rank changes it; this is an ongoing position, not a season trophy.

City control also connects to the wider economy. The Don's boss receives a cut from airport tickets, bail and qualifying casino wins in that city. The board shows the Don and their running city take. Holding a district does not guarantee you personally receive that income, and a crew can lose its spot when other crews take more territory.

Choose your next move

If you are new, start by finding a crew that communicates and by building a useful turf. Then use Your Position on the Domination board to understand the one district where you can act. If your crew is already competing, the standings and next hourly re-rank show whether its new district count is enough to climb. Check the live board for current ownership and rewards before spending; this guide explains the rules, not today's winners.
