Bourbon Bootlegging DLC:
Cincinnati city map – On the Ohio River just across from Kentucky with its long history of distilling whiskey and bourbon. A new challenge presented by the city’s singular geography with hills, distinct neighborhoods, and the Ohio River cutting off valuable resources in Kentucky.

New resources – To produce, convert into new types of illicit alcohol, sell and serve in your speakeasies:

• Bourbon: Acquire bourbon from Kentucky’s reserves of pre-Prohibition whiskey and learn how to counterfeit it from locals.
• Corn: Toss some corn into steel barrels in a unique way to make moonshine.
• Corn whiskey: Use the abundant corn that comes from Cincinnati’s stock yards and Ohio River barges to distill into a precursor of its more famous cousin, bourbon.

Additional missions – Based in Cincinnati and its environs that feature the locally unique resources.

New crew skills – To master in order to build operations that benefit from new illegal resources:

• Moonshine stills
• Corn Whiskey Stills
• Counterfeit Bourbon Bottling
• Bootleggers, speakeasies and clubs that consume lots of corn whiskey and bourbon

Cincinnati themed buildings and businesses – That anchor you in the Queen City with its stockyards and river port.

Unique victory condition – To meet based on local resources and conditions.

Start a crime syndicate from nothing, and grow it into a well-oiled money machine. Build speakeasies and illegal distilleries. Manage production chains and resource distribution. Smuggle goods from out of town and bribe the police to look the other way. Grow a powerful crew and keep your rivals under your thumb. Eliminate competition and rule the city. But most importantly, keep the money flowing.

The year is 1920, the start of Prohibition in the USA. With congressional action, a huge segment of the national economy becomes illegal overnight: bars and saloons are ordered to close, distilleries and breweries go quiet, distributors shut down. But a new era is dawning: a gilded age for smugglers, black markets, illegal manufacture, and organized crime.

This is where you come in. You’re a new arrival in the city at the dawn of Prohibition, with ambitions of striking it big. Behind many of the city’s facades, people are building makeshift distilleries, secret loading docks, nighttime speakeasies. Work your way into this network, and the world will be yours.

But think beyond making a quick buck or two. You gotta be thinking ahead. You gotta be thinking bigger. Much bigger.

Well-organized crime
Get started in the booze biz by hocking some homemade hooch. Start your own stills, and find raw materials to supply them. Learn new techniques to make expensive drinks, or smuggle imported booze to fuel your growing operation. Soon you’ll be supplying entire neighborhoods, and opening your own swinging speakeasies.

You gotta know a guy
On the black market, social currency matters as much as the greenback. With cops and feds sniffing around, trust is everything and personal introductions are worth their weight in gold. So work your connections to find profitable new friends, and get people who owe you favors to put in a good word.

You can’t do it alone
You will need plenty of hands to open new fronts, do delivery runs, and protect your product from envious rivals. Your outfit’s ambitions are only limited by the number of people working for you. Keep them paid, armed, and organized, and who knows how far and how fast you’ll rise.

Getting territorial
As your outfit grows, convince locals that your goods and theirs will be looked after. Territory under your control will provide a safety net, an income base, and a wealth of opportunities for further growth and expansion.

This era belongs to you
You’ve grabbed the opportunity by the horns, and the city is yours for the taking. But you only have a few years to make your mark on history, to build the largest, most profitable crime syndicate, take over your competition, and rule the entire city.
Because after 1933, it will be all over, alcohol will be legal again. And doing business fair and square, well, everybody knows that’s not where the real money is.
