EVIL GENIUS 2 BASE LOCATION AND DESIGN IDEAS (REBELLION PLS READ)

[MOBIUS_01]

Stoked to hear a sequel is finally on it's way. (please don't be like bannerlord) After half a dozen or so playthroughs I've notice how boring a single volcanic island really is. the most exciting part is your base, everything outside you tend to just ignore. Time to consider more evil nefarious base locations...

[MOBIUS_01]

random Ideas: Arctic volcano with channels of lava restricing base building, and treacherous
freezing temperatures and blizzards outside. Put a frozen viking or two inside

A massive floating glacier in antartica, build a base inside it, penguins that shoot lazars

Underwater base built around the ruins of a specific lost mediterranean city (missions to
discover atlantas, you find it and build a base) Seamonsters somewhere

Some cool base deep in the jungles of south america, ancient ruins something
something robot guerrillas

A massive evil compound built below a donut shop in the heart of america, make the
food horrible and dangerous to drive away regular people but health inspectors will start
to snoop...

Base ontop of mount everest. Mountain climbing minions. And horrible storms that cut
off your supplies and support. (better plans your actions carefully)

Base at the bottom of the mariana trench. (requires extreme submarine research) also
more seamonsters

I'd put the mountain-top base as an thing for the Alps, since it's more appropriate for a bond-villain rather than everyone's favorite tourist trap. And besides, it would allow for the classic cliche of a cable car be present.

As for the arctic island, it would be best as an small locale in antarctica where tourists don't even accidentally go to. Which is both a good and a bad thing, since I'd make it so they can be an viable income source and a way of lowering heat by having some above-ground things to appease them with.

Anyways, I hope a bit of randomization is incorporated to these so you can't just use the same base design over and over again.

Some really great ideas here!

The most fun thing about evil genius was to build the base.
So perhaps why not build several bases and cause a need (like so many aka james bond movies) to at some point just say this base is lost, press the self destruct button and have a good reason for it to push it. perhaps a smaller base of operations for every world alliance you want dealings with? and if they discover it and you can't defend it no longer you just blow the whole ♥♥♥♥ up whilst having a suppercool escape tool for your evil self (or henchmen if you gona have multiple bases.)

Maybe you can construct a rocket project that can reach the moon where you can then work on your moon base paralel to your main(Earth)base?

You can send resources via a rocket or by some teleportation device you can research later in the game.

Maybe the moon base could eventually give you some large project for a giant laser beam or a huge spacecraft(or fleet of spacecrafts)containing lots of small robot soldiers to take over the world with.

Of course you'd need to research and construct the rocket parts and find a source of fuel and metal(think of objective 7),and you'd also need to make(or steal)blueprints.You'd also probably need a spacesuit to prevent your minions from suffocating from the cold vaccum of space.

Maybe the moon can be used as a moon rock drilling facility where the resources can be used by your main base for making doomsday devices or other big projects.

I'd put the moon base as an end-game thing. As for space suits, i'd just abstract them by having airlocks for getting in and out of the base.

The moon rocks though are already a thing that people are interested as a fusion reactor fuel so it would be appropriate for the superscientists to have a serious stake in.
