Minion capacity, why so little?

[Tamazin]

Is 300 really the cap of minions? I had that since before i unlocked tier3 research. Finaly i got the upgraded lockers and thought hey, more minions! Nope. Just saved some storage space on the floor.
Well, what about increasing my "Lair minion capacity" via the top row research?!
Nope. 300 is the cap. So the top row research is uuuuuuuuuuuuutterly useless. Like the first one, +10 minions? Or you can build 4 lockers for +12 minions and both works toward the same 300 cap.

Although, i only tested with rank3 of increase minions in lair research just now, but i recon its the same with the earlier/later ones as well.

So to max minions? Either build 15 compact lockers, 100 of the regular ones, skip that top row research since its useless (besides saving a tiiiny amount of floor space).

Edit: What many seems to be missing is, my point isnt that 300 is little or much, but rather that the compact lockers or the science unlocks for more minions is more or less useless.

Fair points. I just assumed the extra space was for creativity in room design. But you are right, much of it can be condensed to a couple of floors. I've recently tried using 2/3 of 2 floors for trap corridors, with stairs and doors leading off my casino. But then that has rendered my casino boring and useless. I run with loads of technicians. But i can't really see having more than 300 units making it much more interesting? I'm sure i'm missing something but with 300+ minions i'm still going to be winning just as easily.

What would they bring to my game?

I got admit i felt the same when I started.

Only real thing more Minions would add is more challenge with money mangment maybe.

But frankly 300 seems about right to me just problem you can get that 300 dam fast if you got the money comeing in to pay them.

I just feel if we had more minions it would be far to easy. :lunar2020thinkingtiger:

em. I have opposite problem... lvl 4 filled by money... 3/4 money only and 1/4 unused....

I thought i did, but from memory i've used all five floors but not filled them. Haven't usually needed to :-)

yep. Key of the problem - not needed....
when you watch promo or start a game it's like "wow. In EG1 or other base management games I have 1-2 levels only, they were full and you need to think about place management.
And here is 5 lvls! Looks like it will be long run!"

And then you play... and realise that you need 1...max 2 levels....
and with cap 300 you can fill max 2-3...
and rest.... lvl5 always big-big nuclear power plant....
lvl4... money vault...
replay? nope. No difference. All same.

I have to admit i'm relying on 13yr old me's ability to play with lego and imagine something much bigger than what i'm actually doing.

I don't feel as evil or as genius as i did in the first one. But i am enjoying some of what i'm doing. But i can't disagree with you :(

I've even sat my genius in the middle of the casino as stupid agents walk by!

Those asking for a higher minion limit, can i just ask if any of you have ever lost a game?

Very true! I realise it looks like i was suggesting people who needed more minions were rubbish and losing, but i was honestly just curious if anyone asking had actually lost.

What exactly are you going to do with more than 300 minions? No seriously, are you trying to play easy mode where you have 100000000 of everything and thus can just breeze through everything?

I never understood complaint of too low minion count. 300 is pretty good balance between having to think what minions you train, without having so few you spend constant time training them

Because having a sprawling base with a million minions is the entire appeal of the game. Why does this even need explained?
