And that's how the Flat-screen TV was conceived

Its not stealing if you've brought it.

I absolutely love Evil Genius

But I absolutely HATE... no that isn't right... LOATHE the glitches and bugs.

It is the only reason I never beat the game.

Which is a shame because I can take down elite agents with ease.

That was my problem, I played through the game twice and both times near the end my save file somehow became damaged or something. When I loaded it up the Evil Genius would always instantly die. It was extremly frustrating to say the least. Didn't have internet at the time though so I should probably download it onto the computer again and search for some patches. I enjoyed the game on both playthroughs regardless.

If I recall, that's the bug where if your evil genius is standing in the big screens radius when its saved, he gets hurt.

[Leonon]

Ugh, Jet Chan. That guy is an asshole. I suggest you get lots of ranged minions and red ivan.

Don't get Red Ivan. Never get Red Ivan.

Trying to use Red Ivan as a henchman is like trying to use The Joker as a henchman, he just sets fire to everything and laughs with a joy that cannot be fathomed by sane men.

First time I played on the second island everything was going fine, no problems in the base when I see an investigator had somehow made it to my power room. So I designate him kill. Then Red Ivan shows up. 5 seconds later there was an unstoppable fire in my power room.

Do not get Red Ivan, he will destroy you.

Not to mention I believe you get Red Ivan instead of the Matron? The Matron is godly!

[dogstile]

ivan is HILARIOUS and rather good if you use him, and heavily micromange him.

[quinnr]

I know, might have to.
Oh wait, CD drive randomly started working. 

[Micro102]

The matron doesn't seem all that good. I've only unlocked one of her abilities (seems to be the hardest to level up) but it's a support item.

I would have to say that samurai guy is the best. His eviscerate pretty much guarantees him beating a super agent....and he can teleport!

Considering your henchmen like to take strolls in groups, far far away from where you need them, it turns out to be a really nice ability.

[Neonivek]

Attack skills are useless for the most part. Her mass stuns are the point in using her.

[Sergius]

If you're having trouble with super agents, and can't get rid of them yet (first island?) is because you got too much notoriety too early. They're really easy if you try not to get your attention of more than one at a time and quickly look for their "retirement" mission.

[quinnr]

No room for save file...
the save file must be over 20GB big 

[Dr. Johbson]

The rogue samurai and sushi master is my favourite guy too, whenever a super agent comes on my island and strolls a little too close to where I want them to be, teleport, super slash, and the agent is almost always dead, or nearly there. Won't do it on Jacky Chan, though, he's tough.

Red Ivan is useful if only for the minefield he gets, but if you have an enemy in a critical location, DO NOT LET HIM GET NEAR.
Also, ONLY USE HIS GRENADE DANCE OUTSIDE.

Also neurocide's unlockable skills are incredibly useful. Her hallucinogen causes agents to get no heat from whatever got hit, and her poison can KO a lot of things. A pity it doesn't distinguish between friend and foe.


A nice trick I found was setting an agent to be weakened, then the moment the animation starts switch to capture or kill. The valet doesn't cancel, and the minions don't wait for him to finish. The agent will pretty much get slaughtered.
