    And now what rebels missed to tell you, because they were too embarrassed:
    1.Don't build your high priority rooms [like labs, armories, and inner sanctums] near the entrances, especially not near the Casino entrance, best put them on the far and deeper end of the base so that the forces of justice have a harder time getting to them.
    2.While corridors are great for traps, some rooms are better off without them, merging your break room, training room, mess hall and infirmary into a one massive hall is not only space efficient, but also means any agent coming to it will have a literal swarm of minions all in one space, with a clear shot, and ready to fight. It's a much better idea than starting off with corridors and forcing your space to be divided by them into inefficient rooms.
    3.Symmetry is verdant soil for dead space, not enough tiles to place anything more, but just enough to bother you, in the first game the easiest way to avoid that was to tinker in blueprint mode, plot out a room, try to stuff it with everything you want and if it doesn't fit- scrap the blueprint and start over. If you fear that your room won't fit all the new items you'll unlock down the line - don't, if you didn't turn your base into a Swiss cheese of corridors you'll have more space then you'll ever need.

    My big tip from my EG1 days: corridors are for nerds. You need to be bigger brained than that. Give your cover operations cover operations. Agents will sneak past your clever cover operation, and what will they find? a bedroom and a library. They'll never guess you have your corpse freezer behind your bookshelves, or your control room hidden by seven games of table tennis. Doors are the most enticing thing for agents, and the more doors between agents and evidence, the better.

As long as their path isn't completely obstructed, they won't tunnel into your base, which means you can have as many doors and traps as you like. I think they will tunnel out though if it's taking too long for them to escape, especially in the case of super agents since they just don't die.

    I actually don't really use corridors for much of anything except the main entrance. I make warrens of rooms attached to other rooms because then you only need one door. Think about it - you can have the training room with a wing off to the side that is the medical, another that's a staff room, and another that's an archive. Save having to make your minions shuffle around all over the map. You can also do this with generator rooms so you can add a generator area to each room so you can always be sure you have enough power for the equipment.

  • @ShackleYT
    @ShackleYT 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Protips, if you don't need traps or security cameras, use barrack tiles instead of corridors, that way you can line a hallway with lockers, giving you a minion cap benefit without the need for making a dedicated room.
    you can also put rooms together. why waste space making the mess hall and staff room separate when you can build them in the same room, meshing them together like a quilt. or put a small infirmary in your armory, or have just enough space in the prison dedicated as a power room for an incinerator. oh, and you can also change parts of the cover operation you don't use into a staff area so your valets don't need to go into your base to rest.
    Lastly, don't be afraid to demolish old cruddy rooms when you get further into the game. your old vault will likely be outdated early on, so don't worry about having it be stuck wherever you place it. just fill it back in with dirt until you need that space for something else.

    one of the biggest tips i can think of is decentralize your stat recovery rooms don't have a single gigantic barracks have multiple so your minions aren't traveling forever just to recover stat points and something that helps is there appear to be special items for each of the advanced types depending on their class.
    perhaps on that thought specialize floors specifically for each minion type entrance floor gets social minions and just that no vault or anything so you can let the social minions work without worrying about anything to vulnerable being hit so you can avoid needing to put a trap hell in your main entrance instead put your trap hell at your access point for the 2nd level and make it the security floor with 3rd being the general minions spot and training leaving 4th as science and criminal network finally 5th being power,vault and inner sanctum that honestly makes the most sense to me.

    The first two are woefully inaccurate.
    Corridors and doors are almost useless. Best to dedicate only small parts of corridor for the barest essential traps and stair cases. Doors should only be used in important choke points, makes the lair operate much faster.
    As for choosing your location, it is better to concentrate on a single area than spread out globally, as you will make more money and only have to deal with ONE super agent. Agent X is the easiest to deal with, so go HAM on P.A.T.R.I.O.T.
    And while selling the casino stuff is a viable strategy, it is always good to get the casino section rolling soon as possible.

    one thing i didnt find practical is the 4 floor base, i thought you were gonna be able to have more than 500 hundred minions but with the current base size one floor is enough to build almost all you need to complete the game with the secondary chapters included, i found myself building in the basement and lvls 2 and three useless stuff like: a giant useless lab in the second floor just to fool myself that all that space was actually going to be used. i ended up building my power room on the basement with dozens of fusion power plants and the entire third floor with gold vaults.

    For the "think vertically", you say you could have a whole floor for minion down time, but this doesn't seem to work. I had my smarts and morale and training stuff on the second floor, and my minions are constantly low morale and smarts, and those rooms are barely being used at all. A lot of stuff in the game seems super buggy like that.

    I focused it on having the vault and the generators in the basement, loaded with traps. The main floor level was the Minion Living space and recovery level food medicine education bunk space all that Also The prison right by the front door because it's just more efficient that way, I also put the Golden table of control for the henchman on that level. It helps inspire the minions, Also I only put the cafeteria on the 1st floor so if anybody wants to actually get lunch they have to go To floor one And they are forced to mingle and helps keep those techies and scientists actually a little bit sociable normally they stay locked up in the lab all the time and it takes nothing less than a Crow bar and a machine gun to get them out, I swear I wonder why even started that bowling league for the minions they never participate. The 2nd level up was research and development Scientific research training Communication operations. 3rd level is where I put my inner sanctum also a maze of deathtraps. And of course on the 4th level is where I put my doomsday weapon, Only Is accessible by going through my Inner sanctum
