Huh. Seems you missed picking your Henchman because you stalled picking them earlier.

Thanks for keeping track of that, game.

Nah, they pop back in a video or two.

My other attempt ended up with no one ever learning the third tier minion stuff and progress stopped. Glad there is a patch for the game.

Does it take three KOs from the super agents, to kill a henchman?

Three KOs while on the island. Takedowns on the world map never count.

Nice. More content. I'm a bit anxious about you keeping treasure, even Uber Loot in open hallways, though :ohdear:

You do seem to have that old Laboratory at your trap corner open still. Maybe demolish that as Agents can roll into safety there.

Also glad to see you embracing Spin Doctors. As they sap Smarts, that means no more Heat on any witnesses when that zeroes out.

Looks like you need a huge recreational area in the middle of the base so the minions won't desert.

Or maybe I just need to shoot more of them?

I'm not far from switching islands IIRC, so I'm kinda limiting my base design. no point in wasting cash on things I'll just need to rebuild later.

I used to do this in a three-wide main hallway (after my trap halls of course) as it passively keeps loyalty high whenever minions run past them. Just like I'd put the most powerful piece of loot in the control room.

Are you going to spend like five videos moving to island 2? I'e seen a couple videos of base setup there which seem to be about 2-3 hours of clicking and moving things on pause and the obscenely terrifying wait of having utterly EVERYTHING sitting in the open.

A corridor lined with doors set at highest access level, thus having guards stationed at it. You get plenty of space by decommissioning unnecessary rooms.

Now, the scramble to rebuild come Island 2 is the real nerve wracking part, making sure all pieces of Loot spawned after the transition and getting a small, temporary setup for them up and running.

Especially since the game keeps running like usual with agents and super agents spawning as if you had even finished your most basic rooms.

I'm looking at that chaotic mess of a line waiting at the pier, and all I can think is that the game very accurately simulates a moving trip. Or really any "organized" trip.

Is it bad to think that the most dangerous bit in the entire game is the 'moving' bit? As all your stuff is outside, the area is swarming with agents, your minions have.. Less direction than normal and no actual areas to regenerate in and setting up the base requires several minutes of making things - plus you need enough money to and you've no doubt taken a ton of losses in the leadup to the move anyways.

A goal required a lot of income for a couple minutes straight before leaving the island. You only lose money by spending it or if someone steals it.
I am shocked you don't assign kill orders to disloyal minions.

At least in the unpatched game, if you capture them and then release them from jail, their loyalty will be back and they won't desert. Plus if you zoom in on them they stop to salute even while getting bashed by your more loyal minions.

Look if they made good career choices they wouldn't have signed up for someone who ran a 'Secret Evil ORganization' with the job title of 'Minion'.

Have you heard about First Dog? It's a very good comic I just love.

Also, wear your bike helmets kids. I copped several blows to the head but my helmet left me totally unscathed.



Finally you should check out First Dog as it's a good comic I like it very much.

Grey, do realise that you left the painting artifact on the wall in the entry room? And that the heat you got from that agent around the two minute mark was him spotting that?
