FUNKY MAMA

[QUOTE=Pvt. Martin;44929697]Ok, so I have another question. How do lockers work? I made a room and managed to fit a total of 34 lockers. Now I can have a total capacity of 79 minions! How does that happen?![/QUOTE] Your notoriety (and population file if you've modded it) determines your base minion capacity. Each locker raises that capacity by one (one locker, one minion).

[QUOTE=ZestyLemons;44929749]Your notoriety (and population file if you've modded it) determines your base minion capacity.

That doesn't really explain how I have 79!

[QUOTE=Pvt. Martin;44929759]But I built a total of 31 lockers, and with the three starting minions I should have 34 minions. That doesn't really explain how I have 79![/QUOTE] Your base capacity isn't 3, it's something like 10 from the get-go. Your population.ini is probably set to this still: [quote]MaxPopulation=500 [B]PopulationEntry=0,50[/B] PopulationEntry=1,50 PopulationEntry=2,100 PopulationEntry=5,150 PopulationEntry=10,150 PopulationEntry=20,200 PopulationEntry=30,250 PopulationEntry=40,250 PopulationEntry=50,300 PopulationEntry=60,350 PopulationEntry=70,350 PopulationEntry=80,400 PopulationEntry=90,500 PopulationEntry=100,500 [/quote] The first entry is 50 minions, plus 31 lockers is 81, which is pretty close to 79. It's likely you forgot to change the values back to default, and that you miscounted lockers.

I didn't know how the lockers worked to begin with boi :v: Well good news, I managed so save up to $1 million using the exploit and Eli's handy dandy stealing. and have 90 minions! Bad news, after I caught the maid and did the thing, now there's expert patriot invaders :v:

Oh boy, time to reinstall Now if only I could find my CDs..

I have this sitting on my Steam account, yet i've only played an hour at most. Don't know why, i just couldnt get into it. Might had just been my OCD when it comes to base management. I really need to sink my teeth into this.

Oh man, I played this again recently. Shen Yu 4 life. This, next to the Jedi Knight games , is in my opinion the only game that really, really deserves a sequel.

We already have an evil genius thread, there's nothing wrong with the other one. [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1253816&page=7[/url]

What do?[/QUOTE] On the world domination or planning screen (it's been a while since I've played) you should really wait for that giant HEAT bar to go down before capturing the maid. More heat means stronger agents. Otherwise, just try to keep your EG protected and let the agents pass by while you lower your heat. If it's soldiers, you're probably fucked though, they're ridiculously strong.

I prolly should have thought about that before hand :v:. Ah well, RESTART!

[QUOTE=ZestyLemons;44935861]I'd prefer having people posting in an active thread like this than staring at a dead thread like that one. [/QUOTE] I know. I just meant it didn't make much sense to make a new one when the other one was fine.

Also don't kill agents Confuse them and have valets escort them out If agents leave with no evidence it'll lower your heat level

It's probably been said but I'd love a proper sequel with multiple floors. I won the game with Maximillian with the earthquake ray or whatever first time, but I should get round to playing it again because I was all over the place with my men and resources.

one of evil genius' cited influences during development was dungeon keeper. if you are remotely intereted in games like this, then you should check out maia. it's basically like those two games, but with a dash of gritty, low-fi 1970s sci fi and british colonialism (and a british sense of grim humor) [url]http://maiagame.com/[/url]

[QUOTE=Bordellimies;44931753]Oh boy, time to reinstall Now if only I could find my CDs..[/QUOTE] Ah yes. The 2 CD version with an Install and Play CD. Except you install with both and put disk 1 (install) back in to play. Genius.

[QUOTE=subenji99;44937129]Also don't kill agents Confuse them and have valets escort them out If agents leave with no evidence it'll lower your heat level[/QUOTE] It's much more evil to kill everything on your island.

Some gimmick mods.

Here are the mods I mentioned earlier: [url]http://filesmelt.com/dl/Mods__Patchs_and_Utilities_For_EG.zip[/url] [editline]29th May 2014[/editline] There's also a Bonus CD floating around that includes new missions and a new henchman. I'd upload it but I dunno if that'd count as warez so I'm not gonna risk it.

Given that it's been up on [URL="http://www.n1nj4.com/EvilPlanet/Downloads/Patches.php"]http://www.evilplanet.com/[/URL] for literally years without incident, it's probably fine. (official patches are up there too).

[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;44938897]I'd upload it but I dunno if that'd count as warez so I'm not gonna risk it.[/QUOTE] The bonus CD is free content. Remember this game comes from the time before DLC. You can find it everywhere for free and if I recall you can even DL it off GoG w/o owning EG from them

For loyalty problems before you get loot, just stick your EG in a high traffic area. If that feels too unsafe you can just tag runners for capture. Once they wake up in a cell just wait for about 20-30 seconds and release them, they'll have full loyalty.

I really hope Evil Genius 2 is announced soon. Rebellion have said recently they are making it, although they did say we'd hear about it by the end of last year and that didn't happen.

[QUOTE=nightlord;44942930]I really hope Evil Genius 2 is announced soon. Rebellion have said recently they are making it, although they did say we'd hear about it by the end of last year and that didn't happen.[/QUOTE] Wasn't it going to be a mobile game, though

[QUOTE=Wolfos;44942852]If that feels too unsafe you can just tag runners for capture. Once they wake up in a cell just wait for about 20-30 seconds and release them, they'll have full loyalty.[/QUOTE] Forgot about that little trick. Also to expand on minion stats, make sure you've got loot or mouse mazes all over your training rooms or else it'll take forever for minions to train up because they keep passing out. In an unrelated matter, a good thing to know is that when you set a door to max security 2 guards will guard the door. You can take advantage of the by making doors that lead nowhere and having them set to max security and since agents are attracted to doors with higher security levels capturing them is more hands off because an agent is automatically tagged for capture when trying to open the door. Of course it also means your cells fill quite quickly.

[QUOTE=Bordellimies;44943031]Wasn't it going to be a mobile game, though[/QUOTE] No, they announced Evil Genius Online which was a browser-based game. After fans complaining about it, they said they were working on a full Evil Genius game as well. When i sent a tweet to Rebellion recently they replied: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/4LKBJPs.png[/IMG]

I'M FINALLY FIGURING THIS GAME OUT! It all started on accident, when I realized I had to increase the Valet limit and decrease the worker limit to get the minions to use the training room. Then I realized I needed to have a two way cash vault. one door level 4 to the main hall, level 2 door leading to the barracks of 50 men. BUT then, I noticed Eli was guarding the door. Henchmen can be guards! So I made both doors level 2, added wall space for Eli to stand near, and made the freezer level 4! That way, no snoopy investigator could hack into my freezer and run out with evidence. MEANWHILE, I noticed my first investigator was landing nearby, so I set his tag to psychic weakening. And it worked. So now I have a force of 20 valets, and any investigator I see outside, I tag for weakening. The valets also escort the confused agents out of the base. I also started building a hotel for them to go to, as well as to keep the tourists away. Now my goal is to set up the hotel, and once my holding cells are ready, get a guard, then train for more guards, and finally have them replace Eli, so Eli can do important things like steal money.

Remember people, DISABLE AUTOSAVE, if the game autosaves while your cursor is over a button, it will break your save
