This time. You're in control of where your team goes, who you recruit, who, where, or what you attack. 
You are the Boss now.
You. Decide what happens throughout your story. Raise your crew from the ground up. Terrorize and conquer. Or. Bribe and persuade. The method is completely up to your choice of success.
Your team will need you, they will need Weapons, Money, Guns, Cars, and most importantly.
Your leadership. Start wherever you want, whatever year.  You will lead an underground revolution; an army by your side. Full of luxury and crime. You will have rivals along the way, it will be natural to come...don't let that slow you down...
Whatever comes your way.
Take. Them. Down...
