 New Game Day 10.29.09: Evil Genius
Evil GeniusAh, Mr. Steele. How good of you to join us on my little island. I suppose you must have gotten wind of my latest scheme in Berlin, not that it matters now. I see you are admiring the décor. I must admit that I have put a lot of time and money into this base, and I am rather proud of it. We have all the latest amenities, from a computerized control center to facilities for housing up to 100 minions to the clever traps that I believe you discovered for yourself. I'd take you on a tour personally if you weren't already so...tied up. Now, I have other matters to attend to; those Russian missiles won't sabotage themselves. But don't worry, I will make sure my henchman take very good...care of you. Farewell, Mr. Steele.

Any newly-encrypted games this week, or will that just be an occasional (rather than weekly) thing?

 Re: New Game Day 10.29.09: Evil Genius
Gmaes pretty cool so far. I love the tutorial! IF a game is complicated then it needs a great walk-through tutorial. (unlike the Space Empire series). It appears you play the wholme through the first and only base you make but I could be wrong. I was doing pretty well untill I pissed of the Asians and they swarmed me with ninjas and commandos!

Thats simple. Don't run your generators at maxium capicity or they will eventually wear down and explode. Always make sure you have excess power. Now heres my problem. I keep getting hit by wave after waves of enemies even though my heat meter is low. My fgiantic freezer is overflowing with dead bodies! Not to mentin they keep killing my low level minions forcing me to kidnap more trained civilians which generates heat which starts the cycle all over again!

If your heat meter is low, you shouldn't be getting infiltrators and soldiers. Those are the only ones that will damage your base unprovoked (infiltrators plant bombs, soldiers shoot everything). For everyone else, just don't attack them and you'll be fine. Killing everyone that drops onto the island is an almost impossible gameplay strategy. You should arrange your base so they wander around in "clean" areas most of the time and leave with a blue heat meter. You'll have to pick off a couple that wander into sensitive rooms, but that should be the exception.

There's also a couple missions where your island will be swarmed no matter what until you complete an objective. If you just got the lab, for example, you'll need to create a fake lab for them to find.

 Re: New Game Day 10.29.09: Evil Genius
Ah. So I shouldn't turn the entrance to my base a corridor of death! Or kill anyone that breaks in!  Okay great now if I could only get my researching to work!
