Yes, but even then he kept escaping and being a nuisance while I was preparing... So I gave up.

I agree that it's an awesome game, but often just too annoying.

This thread inspired me to install this game again, it's been sitting on my desk right in front of me gathering dust for the past year or so. After getting through all of the compatibility issues tied with Vista (Yeah, I'm still using that pile of blegh) I'm enjoying it a lot once again.

Hey I found it!

But I heard if I try to use it on Vista, bad things will happen?

2) Super Agents stay the longest... however generally speaking you can get rid of them if you mass social attacks because unlike actual attacks social attacks interupt their attacks. After they are socially dazed you CAN capture them but if you do you must IMMEDIATELY do something with them as cells are terrible against super agents.

Sorry, should of been more clear. I meant he was on the world map. Standing on this territory for forever so I can't complete a mission.

In that case, there's nothing you can do. They usually move around fairly frequently, though - keep an eye open, and eventually the territory will free up.

It worked fine for me in Vista.

I think my game is game-breakingly bugged. I was doing the "gather doomsday device data" missions and while I had 2 left it randomly said "task completed" and said it was completed, but it wasn't and no "purchase new island" button appeared. So I finished the objective and it said "task completed" again but the purchase button is still missing!!!!!!!

Don't tell me I have to redo the entire freaking thing.

Great....time for a restart.

I now understand why people hate the game for the bugs.

Well damn, i've never had that bug, and i've completed the game a good 6-7 times.

Have you patched your game?

I have vista and it works fine. (I'm using a torrented version though because my parents won't let me buy it)
Also, you move to a new island after objective 5, I believe.

I got it off gametap, don't think you can patch it, either that or it's patched already. It should be.

Where is the world domination button suppose to be (exact location)? What does it look like? I am holding onto this one last hope as I see nothing new on the world domination screen.

I wish I could find a base-building mission I can enjoy again.

So much of these games revolve around "plan a good layout, implement it over time, and wait a whole lot while nothing happens until you have enough resources to finish".  The only game that was different from that was Dungeon Keeper, because you were fighting against other Dungeon Keepers that were attempting to do the same.

Theme Hospital, such a classic, but you do the same thing every level.  Rollercoaster Tycoon, occupies a lot of time, but it's still essentially the same genre.  And Evil Genius isn't that much different in the end.

...I was going to post about the Smooth Operator bug but I got beaten to it.  It's the only way I see to win against agents, since they slaughter my social minions like nothin'.

You would think that agents of justice wouldn't be slaughtering people in a hotel around tourists who think that they are in an actual hotel.
