At The Start Of Your Game
Just build a small room about 8x8 of every room you need.
1 or 2 beds is enough. Build about a couple of lockers.
Electricity is a must.
Build 2-3 white boards to Research Faster.
TRAIN valets FIRST as they are the strongest minion in the game. As long as no one enters your compound; you are fine and your heat remains low.
Talking about Compound;
Your entrance after the casino should be NON Heat Rooms; such as Bunks/ Food/ Staff rooms. Put your other rooms deeper in your lair.
Research
After you have about 2-3 white boards and data ; research these in priority as these are important - Satelite Strength / Electricity Nuclear and Dig through harder Rocks --- followed by in the minion tab; there is a way to ENGAGE Sections of your lair with AUTO TAG.. This will make your life easier. Get auto tag Distract and Auto tag capture ASAP to save you clicking effort.
Put a few beds in your research area and a smart Chair to relief the SMART stats from your researchers. Put the APPROPRIATE Dining table there as well.
PUT Cameras in your casino and your entrance areas to spot enemies as it is important once you unlock Guard Table and Security table. Build 2-3 security desks so it is always being manned.
Traps are useless. Dont even bother. Have a bunch of guards is more useful than the useless traps.
Dont use Doors either; they just slow down your minions. Only put a door from the non heated rooms to your heated rooms after the Casino Room.
And put fire extinguishers everywhere
Get Prison asap ; always interrogate enemies; never tag to kill. Always tag to capture if they happen to be in your base.
Villain Chair
This villain chair is the most important thing to speed up your game.
MAXIMUS - put the villain chair in your training room so you can constantly spam that instant Training ability.
ZALOKI - put the villain chair in your research room so u can spam the scientists to research faster.
EMMA - put the villain chair anywhere as her power is quite a generic buff; if you want to train minions fast or do other things; put her chair there. Slightly useless as Counter Agents and Cameras will help you to spot the disguised enemies...
Ivan - Put him at the entrance so he can buff troops in a fire fight; generally i dont like him as he is more of a killing Genius. Capturing enemies is better as it provides a source of FAST INTEL and FREE trained UNITS....
Heat And Mission TIPS
Usually the location will get LOCKED OUT once the heat reaches 100.
If your mission generates 30 heat and your location has a heat of 75; just spend intel to decrease the heat asap and then do the mission afterwards. Dont bother to do missions if your heat generated will cause the mission to lockout; it will be a waste.
Mission TIPS
- zoom out and look for the BLINKY LIGHTS; this indicate that the location is IDLE and that there is a mission you can do there.
Early Mid Game
Get PRISON UP ASAP; never kill anyone; always capture as this allows you to get INTEL. INTEL is important so you dont waste minions doing errands and furthermore; INTEL missions are usually better.
AUTO TAG all enemeis to be captured once they enter your base. build a couple of stunners ; upgrade them.
For minion training - put 10 in guards - and spam 20/30 in Mercenaries and 20/30 in Martial Artists / Hitmen. Build a security office with a guard table near your entrance so your guards can immediately go there. Use guard stands or advance guard stands.
Keep using your genius to buff certain rooms and areas.
If there are large bunch of dead bodies; use your Genius to kill 1 of your minions to escalate MORALE so they do not leave your building
Turn off and on research buildings when not in use or in use. Build at least 3-4 of each so you can research at a constant speed. Have about 20 scientists -- 15 technicians -- and 15 bioscientists / 10 brain scientists.
Mid Game And End Game
Some tips ; if you are trying to do a mission and you have no idea what to do; click your genius and click onto the DOOMS DAY Machine; sometimes it helps.
Research the Mind Control Interrogation Device ASAP
By now; you should be okay; keep building prisons and always mind control them all once their resolve reaches 50 or below; this enables you to get fast troops which helps. You are lucky if you get counter agents from them to find sneaky suboteurs.
You should have a stable base from now and from now on; you should be on your path to win the game.
Hope you enjoy the game!
