Direct From The Devs

You did it, you showed those Super Agents who's really the boss and now you can recruit them into your own evil organisation, congratulations!

With this update we have added Side Stories for recruiting Atomic Olga, Symmetry, Agent X and Wrecking Bola as Henchmen. You'll encounter each Super Agent as usual as you progress towards World Domination in a Campaign game, but after you've defeated them once and for all, recruitment side stories will become available, allowing them to cheat death and join your side.

Alternatively, dive into Sandbox mode and start playing with them right away! This content does not require any DLC download or enabling, its now available by default as part of the base game.

The addition of the Temperature System in the Oceans DLC pack was always intended to introduce new construction challenges, and additional considerations when building your evil Lair, but it has done so a touch more aggressively than some of you would like.

We've made some changes here to make Comfortable temperatures (and aesthetically pleasing Lair layouts) easier to achieve, and we will continue to monitor this over the coming weeks.

We have of course continued to listen to feedback we receive through our wonderful community team, and so you can also expect the usual list of bug fixes and QoL improvements in addition to your rewards for successfully completing the community challenge.

Stay evil,

The EG2 Dev Team
