What do Hotels do?

[Arm4g3dd0nX]

Reduce the number of tourists in your base and thus reduce your heat levels.

[mangaread123]

oh nice vids, But what if you made an air cannon on a single line coridor, your enemies would never pass, am I right?

[Arm4g3dd0nX]

You can't make a single line corridor.

[mangaread123]

@Arm4g3dd0nX But can you make two canons on a two coridor hallway?

[Arm4g3dd0nX]

It begins to be fairly likely that the agents will skip over most of your touchplates.

[mangaread123]

@Arm4g3dd0nX Those damn ninjas

[PenisCupcake]

@Arm4g3dd0nX nope

[Arm4g3dd0nX]

@PenisCupcake yup

[ASTER11345]

@Arm4g3dd0nX  maybe =3

I think the best time to tell your minions on the world map to hide is when the autosave message appears. It'll give you the heads-up when the agents appear on the world map. It happens most of the time, but sometimes the agents appear a minute before the "Saving..." message shows up.

[stickyjoe131]

I can't stop watching these... keep em coming.

KILL KILL KILL

[reeve1991]

And... draining every stat rather than one isn't as useful as you might think, since draining any one of those essentially immobilizes them and renders them helpless, and they can recover three stats as quickly as they can recover one stat.

[reeve1991]

Eh, he's basically the same as the Diplomat except not critical to complete the game. The Martial Artists though... now THEY'RE the serious badass minions.

[Ph3rx]

I know that thanks anyway... but when I interrogate it they always become valeys -.-

[the8lbfish]

you have to capture a gaurd to make a gaurd

[Ph3rx]

Nice videos!

I have one question... how can I train soldiers/guards ? I can't seem to figure it out -.-

[Arm4g3dd0nX]

Just like every other minion, you have to capture and interrogate one first.

[09darjac]

do the mission

[playerctu]

you know if your power goes low but not off your genarators that you cant reach will start to break and evenchaly go boom i know its happend to me before

[Arm4g3dd0nX]

That's true, didn't I mention that?

[AntimationFactory]

what was that sound @ 9:40

[Arm4g3dd0nX]

Probably the fans from the power generators.

[Murkglow]

You know when that escaping agent was destroying your door and you wanted to stop him from damaging it? The reason they were shooting it was because they didn't want to attempt lock picking it. I believe if you select the door and turn it down to security level 1 it should just open and they should stop and just walk through. I guess they may also be berzerk and keep attacking anyway but it's worth a shot if that happens again.

[Arm4g3dd0nX]

Good point.

[casthewiz]

do gun cabinets give your minions guns?

[Arm4g3dd0nX]

Only when in yellow/red alert.

[Murkglow]

Only some of them:

Workers get Pistols from Pistol Cabinets.

Soldiers get Rifles from Rifle Cabinets.

Mercs get Machine Guns/Flamethrowers from Machine/Flame Cabinets.

Marksmen carry their guns with them at all times and don't need a Cabinet and no other minions use guns at all. But as Arm4g3dd0nX said, they will only go for their guns on Yellow/Red Alerts. On green they will use Hand to Hand attacks only (which make Martial Artists and Marksmen the strongest minions with no prior prep).

[lardman65]

I don't really understand what the weaken tag does, care to explain.

[Arm4g3dd0nX]

It convinces people that there's nothing to see and they should go home.

[Murkglow]

The weaken tag allows your social minions (Valets/Spin Doctors/Diplomats/Playboys) to use their various "attacks" on enemies. These attacks drain attention (Valets/Playboy)/smarts (Spin Doctor/Playboy)/loyalty (Diplomat/Playboy) rather then heath or endurance and are non-lethal ways to take care of agents without generating heat.

[hachnslay]

i think it was the "build inner sanctum to impress the crimelords" objective

[soulesssniper]

nice, i have never seen a prisoner escape before!

will you make a hotel?

[Arm4g3dd0nX]

I was told you have to make two hotels for them to matter so I haven't really been too enthusiastic.

[Murkglow]

The reason people say you need two Hotels isn't because one doesn't work. The idea is that tourists have a 50% chance of going to your base or your hotel and that a 50% chance isn't good enough. Two hotels makes that a 66% chance of hotel and only 33% chance of your base.

The hotels do work however and if the tourists go to the hotel they will be taken care of but its basicly just a cost vs benfit question. Is it worth the money, power, and valet costs to take case of some tourists or not?

[Arm4g3dd0nX]

Ahhh don't ruin my simple answer. :)

But yeah, I agree with all that and I say no. :)

[funguy118]

very good video keep it up
