Learn how to manage your minions, design your base, and deploy traps effectively in Evil Genius 2: World Domination. This guide covers the Back Blasting Ventilator machine and other key mechanics.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The game tasks you with building an island base and managing minions to conduct heists and schemes on the world map.
  2. 2
    Base design is a major concern, with specific room designations (barracks, dining hall, break rooms) and furniture restrictions that can feel inefficient.
  3. 3
    Power and signal strength require building entire new, large structures (generators, tape-reel computer banks), necessitating constant expansion.
  4. 4
    Direct player control is limited; you assign build orders but don't choose minions or their priority. This hands-off management can be problematic when unexpected threats arise.
  5. 5
    When investigators or elite mercenaries invade, you must manually select each intruder and order them to be killed, but minion AI and weapon accessibility can hinder their effectiveness.
  6. 6
    Traps and base entrances designed as labyrinths of death are suggested as a more fun and effective defense than relying solely on guards.
  7. 7
    However, even traps can be undermined by minion AI, who may engage invaders prematurely or get caught in their own traps.
  8. 8
    The game's ultimate boss, the super-agent, can be defeated by your evil genius directly, which undermines the game's core themes of delegation and base defense.
Tips
  • Designate rooms and place furniture logically to minimize minion travel time.
  • Consider the placement of training centers relative to your evil genius's room to avoid excessive back-and-forth travel.
  • Utilize traps and defensive measures extensively, as relying solely on guards can be unreliable.
  • Be prepared for unexpected invasions; ensure your mercenaries are armed and ready, or that traps are strategically placed.
  • If direct combat is necessary, position your evil genius strategically to intercept threats, though this may detract from the game's intended experience.
