Minions play a central role within Evil Genius - performing various tasks around your base and island in order to keep things running. Different minions will perform different tasks depending on the class of minion.
Construction
WorkersConstruction workers ever-useful, ultimately pitiful and fully
replaceable. You start the game with 3 of these minions, but acquiring
more is a simple matter of increasing their number on the Minion
Management Screen, then waiting 60 seconds (or less, depending on the
amount of money you are willing to pay) and watching your depot for a fresh lackey to
appear as if from nowhere.
On the island construction workers build and demolish
rooms. On the world map they are required for some of the Acts of
Infamy.
Military
minionsOn the island military minions
are the best at capturing or killing agents. On the world map they're
best at stealing and help reduce the number of casualties from Acts of
Infamy.
Science
minionsOn the island science minions'
task is to wander around looking for research potential and performing
research in a laboratory. On the world map science minions are the best
at plotting and they shorten the duration of Acts of Infamy.
Social minionsOn
the island social minions distract agents, entertain tourists and take
care of exhausted minions. On the world map social minions conceal heat
generated from other minions and also reduce the heat generated by Acts
of Infamy.
