Build your island base, designating specific rooms for barracks, dining, and break rooms. Note that furniture is room-specific, and minions require multiple break rooms for different needs.

Research essential items like fire extinguishers, guard posts, and staircases. Be aware that some research, like staircases, may feel basic.

Expand your base to accommodate power and signal needs by building new generator and computer banks. The game emphasizes building larger structures rather than upgrading existing ones.

Manage your minions through hands-off delegation. Assign tasks and design your base efficiently so it runs itself. Be mindful of minion travel time, as placing training centers far from your Evil Genius can slow progress.

Prepare for threats by utilizing traps and designing your base entrances as defensive mazes. Direct minion control is limited, making it difficult to react to unexpected invasions.

When super-agents invade, rely on traps and mercenaries. However, be aware that mercenaries may not always be prepared or positioned correctly.

In dire situations, your Evil Genius can directly engage threats. While this can be effective, it may undermine the game's core theme of delegation and base defense.
