Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Aye...Too many agents invading later on, but still is a fun game nonetheless. Especially the interrogation sessions. (your interrogator does a real bad michael jackson impression that forces the captured spy to confess is one of the funnier ones)
I found that if you make your entrance way fairly long and trapped like all get out, it tends to thin out anyone who tries to break into your base.
Evil genius 2 would be really fun if they ever ressurect it again and fix some of the problems.

Sucks that Elixir Studios closed their doors. Evil Genius was pretty original as games go these days.
As for secret agents -- the key is to make them waste their time. Level 4 doors leading nowhere (they draw agents like honey), pop up targets (also saps their intelligence, and creates no heat). Another trick I use is to have two doors to my base in the one corridor -- a level 1 door to the world, with a level 2 behind it. Agents ignore level 1 doors, and the level 2 door keeps out the tourists.
The big thing, though, is to keep your heat down. Don't do missions every two seconds, don't kill agents if you can avoid it, make sure visiting tourists and agents leave with no heat and blue rings. Your global heat goes down if they leave with blue rings.
And yes, Red Ivan is fun to use. But he gets expensive if you have him fighting in your base.

Evil Genius is definitely one of the better games in terms of originality and art direction, although the plot of the game leaves much to be desired. Red Ivan is definitely useful, and traps are one of the best parts of the game!
The Evil Genius license was sold to Rebellion Studios after Elixir went under, although there isn't any news on a sequel. I would bet that there will be an Evil Genius 2 though, the IP definitely has a lot of potential for big money (get EA to publish, then the game will sell like hotcakes).
