Here's a thought/trap:

[Capn_Danger]

On island 1, I have about 5 false entrances. All they have is a door, a pop-up confusing trap, and another door leading nowhere to lure agents in.

If they actually manage to pick the right entrance, they have to navigate the door maze. Its a huge grid of many 4x4 rooms with doors on each side, filled with more confusing traps. There's a tiny hotel room packed with valets near the entrance, and deadlier traps far into the maze to make cash and kill agents who get too far. You can choose your minion's route through the maze by setting a path of level 2 doors to avoid the deadlier traps, or to avoid rooms where lots of agents are milling about setting off the confusing traps. An over-staffed armory with guns and a security station waits in the hallway just inside the actual base to capture any competent agents.

Most of the time, the valets will escort agents out of the maze before they even get past a few doors. If your minions set off traps, they'll escort them into the base to recover! The hotel room is key. Evil Base? What Evil Base? No Evil Bases on this island!

Later on, I prefer to replace the pop-up traps with do-not-press buttons.

My personal favourite is watching pathetic agents trip my wind machine and i just fling them back into the wall, Simple yet mostly effective.

I created a mini-combo that I call "Elemental Doomsday." It always goes in the freezer for convenience:
ESC PG
PG
| SC|
W |SC |
So, double door with Satan's Chimneys and motion detector. If that doesn't kill the agent, three pressure pads surround a wind trap. 6 or 7 tiles ahead is a poison gas cage, and nearby is an Electroshock cannon. Pads wire to wind and electroshock, Wind links to Poison Gas cage. Maximum damage.

Nice. The last one is hilarious.

Ty. I think they would be effective if rooms were freezers. NOTE: they are not my designs, but i did find them on youtube.

This is a small hallway that requires the magnets, saw, Prometheus, and pirahna.

Make a 4 wide and 10 long (10 long for a reason) corridor. At the first tile connecting to the main room, make a door and set it to 3 (as a lure). At the opposite end, place two magnets facing the door.
Put a laser/pressure trigger behind the door, at the 9th tile from the magnets. After this, place Prometheus traps on alternating walls for 4 tiles, then put a pirahna trap across. Link it so that the pressure/laser triggers the Prometheus FIRST, then the magnets, then the pirahna tank.
They're pulled through the blaze and dumped in the tank. No agent (up to Good level so far) has walked out alive.
I have no screenies, because of the crashes I have.

My most efficient trap.

Basically a door, a bunch of windtraps and a poison cage in the end.

Since many of the traps seem to get my minions as much as they get the agents, what I`ve started doing is making windtunnels, preferably at the side of the base.
At the start of the game make a long zig-zaging tunnel, then place double windtraps at each bend, with a pair of sensors at the bottom of the tunnel. Watch any agents stupid enough to enter and see where they break the wind tunnel and smack into a wall, then adjust the traps so they trigger each other right. If done properly you can link as many wind-traps as you like, getting stinking rich in the process.
The base I am playing now has 48 windtraps linked in such a tunnel, most agents pass unmolested through the entire tunnel before triggering the trap at the bottom, then blow the whole way back out. It`s very profitable, but doesnt work against super agents ofc. If you place a smarts trap at the end of this, the agents will sometimes reenter the wind tunnel for even more fun.

the way my base is defended is i have 2 doors after the entrance, one that leads into the bass and another set on security level 4 this means it is guarded and so 2 henchmen stand by it. i then place a number of traps around but the great thing about this is if the agents avoid the traps or survive them then the henchmen kill them it hasn’t failed me yet, not even with super agents since 2 vs 1 hummmm who will win.
But I must say i like the deathmill with a piranha tank behind it

[Duskofdead]

Can someone explain the "Uber traps" depicted in the Evil Genius wiki here? The diagrams provided show where to put the traps, but give you no idea at all how to set up the sensors/triggering.

recently set up an outdoor hut.

It contained a door, lvl 2, cause door lure agents. Behind it was laser trigger, a low level loot item back left corner, a tread mill directly behind lasers and a popup i back right corner. Outside were tons of endurance draining bees+8 disguised sentry guns-

What happened- No screenies btw, deleted account-
Hack door with all group having noww had time to gather, see vase, try to steal.
Step on Treadmill or get stunned by popup, wasting valuable seconds.
By this time I have been alerted that a door was breached.
I have about 12-20 endurance bees launched on them. They fall to the ground unconcious. Right in front of my 8 sentrys. Few seconds later, my valets come to collect the body bags. But by the time they get there, all thats left of the bees is some honey. Muhahahhaha.

What I have now is a room like this

S=Sentry gun
D=Door
E=Empty
Straight into my base, only way in.

There are two traps, one near each deposit. Deposits are blocked by warehouses, traps, etc., so that only agents who enter are deposits. Your warmth is relatively low because all other means, including SAS, never close to you, your servants, or hot objects when they arrived by parachute
