DESPICABLE GLEE

Thanks to Evil Genius 2, I now understand why so many criminal masterminds are bald. It’s because they’ve torn all their hair out through sheer frustration. When a James Bond knockoff rocks up to your secret lair and murders a bunch of henchmen with an exploding cufflink or whatever, that’s all well and good for the henchmen, who are now on a permanent lunch hour, but nobody considers the administrative headache it causes for the boss.

Recruit various types of underling to help realise your plans

Now you’ve got to train new henchmen to replace the old ones, which means dipping into your pool of workers and sending them to the equivalent of thug university. This in turn means hiring moreworkers, which costs money you don’t have because you spent it all on replacing the traps that double-not-seven alsobroke. This means spinning more moneymaking schemes, which cost yet more henchmen to set in motion, thus starting the cycle over again.
