Pretty much everything your looking for is either in the tutorial videos or going to be in them, anything that isnt is extremely simple to add in after you follow the tutorials, the majority of web games like mafia wars and forsaken sanctum are all pretty much the same idea with slight differences. Another example are the apps on the iPhone (including mafia wars) are all exactly the same with different words, like assassins can do contracts where mafia do crimes, some have stamina points, others have energy points and magic points. All you would need to do is alter the end product of following the video tutorials to suit your needs, you could add a inline frame to the index page of your game for the news area, that way the news can be scrolled while the links and locations etc. stay where they are.
Ive been heavily editing my web game which I guess is like a mafia game since you can hire mercenaries and bounty hunters in it, Ive just made them like enhancements to my attack and defence points, for each person you hire you get +1 attack and +1 defence (varies depending on the type of person you hire). Since the video tutorials are so dumbed down so anyone that can use a computer should be able to understand them you should be able to learn PHP and MySQL very quickly.
