[quote]Objective 5 - Masterplan Machination
A brief guide to getting through the objectives and missions in the game
Things will really be hotting up now... start to set your sights a little higher! This objective is the last before you move to your new island.
Useful hints
The uber-loot which you are asked to search for in this objective may well take some finding and will require the skills of lots of different types of minions. Be sure that you have as many different types of minions as you can get, ensuring that there are at least 10 workers, 15 guards, 10 valets, 8 technicians, 10 scientists, 5 spindoctors, 10 mercenaries, and a few (ideally at least 5) of the top levels of each type. Keep your research going full tilt to get new traps and items - it will help to have this stuff nmow to incorporate it into your new base when you switch islands later on. And watch out for super agents, especially Mamba from Africa who can be a real pain at this time.
There is a warning at the end, which you should heed regarding moving to the new island (which you will be allowed to do following succesful completion of this and Objective 4 - make sure you read it!
1) There are three embryonic ideas for Doomsday Devices, but each needs three pieces of vital information before it can be pursued any further. The information can be found in many ways. It could be hidden in a region on the World Domination map, or captured as a reward for completing an Act of Infamy, or even held by an enemy agent invading your very base!
The hints in this mission text are vital as it is often hard to find the information though simply searching. [highlight]The AOI's you need to complete should be in Cuba, Australia and North Africa[/highlight] so get searching for them. I'm a little unsure of the regions, but you must break the top levels of intelligence in them to find the info so get loads of control desks, keep them manned, and chuck 2-3 minions in each region until you find them all (you may automatically find some if you are luckyh enough to have the intelligence levels up already). The agent info is the one most people forget. [highlight]Before killing intruders (killing will make more come), click on different types to see if the information logo appear next to them. If it does, capture and interrogate them.[/highlight]
2) Reach the Notoriety rank of "Insane (200)"
A simple mission, which will either take 5 mins or 2 hours, depending on your notoriety rank. If you have been doing lots of extra AOI's throughout the game you should have little worries about getting to 200. If you have only 100 or so, then you best get searching in some of the areas you don't go often, and start doing some of the AOI's! There are plenty of AOI's to find - keep your control room busy and they will be uncovered soon enough.
Once you have completed this Objective and Objective 4, you will be in a position to move to your new island. You may want to hang around here for a while, stockpiling cash, getting new research done and letting heat reduce down a bit. It is important that you have a good large sum of cash in the bank before moving - I suggest close to $1,000,000 for a fairly pain-free new base, as it's an expensive business! And here's a final handy tip: Why not just sell the stuff you've already bought? That's not cheating.. it's recycling! Demolishing stuff you bought will refund your expenses. When you are ready to switch islands, start with demolishing the controlroom. You don't need it anymore, since you won't be going to the world-screen until the new island. After that, demolish every room except for the staff-replenishing-rooms (canteen, staff room, archives, infirmary and so on), the powerplant and the strongroom. Then demolish the remaining rooms, then the powerplant, and now you are left with a corridor and the strongroom. Now you will have an enormous ammount of money to use on your next island, and you haven't even cheated. Some tips on demolishing: There are also money to be saved on demolishing corridors, so if you have one really long corridor, but can't demolish it all due to escape routes etc., just build a door where you want to seperate it. After that you can demolish the desired part clean from the other part you sectioned off with a door. Rooms cannot be demolished when your henchmen or evil genius are standing in them. Some rooms can't be demolished when in use. Demolishing a room will also refund the items in it. The clone machine must be demolished, you can't take it with you. The monkey-cage should be moved out into the corridor before demolishing the laboratory, since it is a nice tool to have on the new island where there actually live monkeys. Also, when arriving on the new island, it is a good idea to pause the game and build the base with peace of mind, and good time, since you now can afford everything you desire to build. Just remember, your funds will be frozen until you have built a bigger strongroom on the new island. Don't worry, the gold will start pouring in the minute you move the suitcase-rack from the outdoor, temporary strongroom, to the new strongroom located within the new base. Thanks, Erik for these tips! [/quote]

Got It Today And Its Awesome!
I keep starting over. I just want to get everything right. Anyone have any good tuts for a master base?
And yes this deserves a bump.

Don't buy traps on the first base.
Just have 2 doors past the entrance on level 3.
And only kill people when they enter your base not before

This man speaks the truth.
[QUOTE=TGGuy;18664051][A fuckload of Tubgirl][/QUOTE]
How kind.
Anyways, just bought this off Steam and; when the steam servers unbusy themselves, I shall play it!
It's single-player only, right?
Would be better with multiplayer too...

It really wouldn't.

Not with the type of game it is
I've always wanted to get this but never got around to it. Now I had a reason to!
Bought it and love it!
I don't know if anyone else feels like this. But I never never had enough cash, and I thought the game gets insanely hard towards the later stages. It just felt like I was being constantly attacked, and I couldn't reduce my heat.
It's also irritating because you can't retrain minions.

There's a "glitch" with the maid mission in the beginning if you want some extra $'s.
If you wait with capturing her, and just let her wander around the island you can steal as much money as you want from all around the world, and the governments won't send any agents after you.
You can just send all your minions to steal and let the machine stay on for a couple of hours. (That's what I did on a playthrough :smug:)
how do you interrogate someone? cause when i double click on the cage and press the interrogate button nothing happens, my minions don't come and interrogate her
You gotta have an interrogation device. Then get the cursor to be the interrogation selection (right click on the cell, then select interrogate, i think). Then right click on the interrogation device
I've been waiting for an excuse to get this, I loved the demo so much a long time ago.
Thinking about installing this again... I've completed it like 4 times.
Evil Genius was also the first and only Megathread I've ever made, it was good
I just bought it. Can anyone share how they layout their secret base (ie. where the control room, strong room is)?
Also Evil Genius is $2.49 USD on Steam.
BUY. IT.
Upon viewing the OP I remembered that I bought the game a long time ago when it came out, nostalgia'd hard, then went to go look for the game.
My cd drive is empty, and my paypal isn't going to get charged in 3 days (if I was doing it right), and then the sale is probably over :(
I got it right here on CD, but I can't be assed to put it in the tray and install it

i got the chair but i haven't tried to right click as you said, thx for the help
Hey, got the same issue as someone earlier in this thread, all of sudden a message pops up that my minions can't access my strongroom/there's not enough space in the strongroom. Then it freezes my funds. This is pretty annoying, since my strongroom is pretty big, and I don't have more money than before?
It all started when I got attacked by a bunch of agents. All of sudden my minions couldn't reach the strongroom. What's wrong?
Yay, solved the issue. Anyway, can I mark enemies so that my minions will only attack if they enter my base?

No.
how do i get more valets, and how do i get other types of minions? and also when i try to plot nothing happens, i can plot the same area for hours and nothing happens, same when plotting an area with a flagshit in it, still don't give me the details
