Having bases in countries does NOT cost you money.. it MAKES you money. it says passive income $20 every 5s. if you upgrade it, it will generate even more.

[joesgotmore]

Very good guide. One thing I would add as a minor way to save a few dollars is when you make doorways always try to make them from the corridor and not the room you are making. It is a waste of money on 4 tiles you will not actually use for the room itself. So when planning your corridors make 4 tile bump outs where you want to build rooms then just drag the room to connect them.

"Minion Traits" is very important send the useless ones such as "Lazy" to schemes or live execution(motivation) while maintain the useful ones such as Volunteer (no salary), Strong Righ Hook (suitable guards), and such.

Nice tutorial hope to see more, even though I don't currently play the game I still enjoy watching, a well researched strategy for the game.

[Jaykuroo]

10:03 it says passive income, not passive expense

[mattbrassfield]

missed something... before you go to the world map you need to micromanage the Minions and Observe their traits and get ride of the Bad Ones... Like 'loves sleep' 'loves breaks' 'Clumsy' 'Careless' You can set these minions as priority minions to go out on the world map to do the schemes. Think of minions are a another type resource you can use.

one more tip.
when building criminal networks keep your optional objectives in mind. They can be about making a network in a specific region.

[JeffsK]

Tip Number 6 ... When you look at base info at start each has position advantage and disadvantages, like the first isle show by Nivarias easier against Hammer & Anvil but harder vs Patriot, next bit info with this your first Henchman spawns in specific Zones, if you know the one you want you may want to pre-scout it to be ready to hire them, Tip 7 ... dont build prison near Entrance it also causes suspicion, Tip 8 Build a small Generator nook in jail area, place the Incinerator since you will be using it there a lot, and not have it waste space in generator room. Tip 9 Research, the more Scientists and research stations = faster, I like 1.5 scientists per station to account for sleep and etc, also I would put a Scientist training nook off lab so they can help them train fast (Same with guard trainer off armory. and a Important TIP. Never let your gold get to 100% with out expanding Vault or building something, seen so many waste money then when they need it they didnt have it.

[JeffsK]

Tip number One Dont waste money and More important Power on DOORs to areas that you dont need to keep Enemy out of like Barracks and food areas, Doors also slow Minions traveling around base down as well ... Tip 2, Barracks, You only need a few beds compared to number of minions, they will share beds and all dont sleep at the same time, this said LOCKERs = Number of Minions you can get, to save space line your Corridors with Lockers, (just highlight a strip beside wall in Corridor and convert to barracks to place lockers there) . TIp 3 IMPORTANT Do not put the vault near ANY ENTRANCE !!! there are Enemy they will sneak in and steal your Gold and they can come in from helipad as well. stick it with generators far from entrance close together, so your guards can be posted to guard both together. tip 4 DO NOT sell all the casino furnishings !!! there is a objective that says to sell FOUR, so save a couple for it. Tip 5 Control Room, there are 22 world map sections, so you will need 22 radio receivers if not upgraded, put them where they have a lot of room to expand, also put it far from the entrance, since they make investigators suspicious and can be sabotaged ... to be continued

[Dragonauche]

Hmmm a tutorial I see, well time to start working on my evil laugh!!!

[SunWoodMC]

skip the vault in the beginning. Without one you can carry 40k. You won't be having that much gold for a while in the early game. Then later, once you get good cash flow, put a vault deep into your base. it raises suspicion from investigators and there are thieves later in the game who will steal your gold. So you want them to have to walk far before they can leave. Also its a good idea to research the better Vault boxes for gold to save a lot of space in terms off vault size.

Good tutorial with exception for building the vault, it’s an early game cash sink that just isn’t needed as one of the first buildings

[TheShonuff]

Good tutorial, just downloaded the game and found there was some different controls that i need to get used to from the first game. I have 2 days off now to play yay!

[AshtonSnapp]

I’m definitely going Zalika for my first play through. Y’know, whenever I buy the game.

[ghostbirdofprey]

Seems there's an optional objective that pops up specifically to sell the defunct Casino equipment, so good to still hold on to some stuff for when that comes around for an extra bonus of free cash

[OCE]

Im starting the game, its hard at first and challenging ... but i love this type of games, still practicing how you get those incredible mans lol

[Balkan_Vibez]

Can’t wait. I’ll be streaming this on special treats. 🎉

The network is not draining money just gaining more every 5 seconds
