Line 8:
Also, don't just add things villains have done that annoy you unless they're actually counterproductive to the [[Evil Scheme]].

* In the storage area of my Fortress of Evil all [[Exploding Barrels|barrels or boxes]] containing flamableflammable or explosive substances will be painted in a rusty-brown colour and have no warning labels on them. Containers painted in red will instead be made of bulletproof materials, contain non -hazardous substngcessubstances, and have "FlamableFlammable" or Explosive" labels on them. This will fool the hero to take cover behind the explosive [[Exploding Barrels|barrels or boxes]] since they seem old and unlikely to contain something dangerous.
** All my mooks will be instructed to take cover behind the red non-lethal barrels and to avoid the rusty-brown ones if they are under attack by the hero.
** He will also eagerly waste ammunition on the red barrels, as my minions take cover behind them, in an attempt to blow them up.
Line 17:
* If the Hero mowing down my [[We Have Reserves|Legions]] of [[Redshirt Army|Terror]] wouldn't last five minutes against my own [[Authority Equals Asskicking|unholy]] [[Sorcerous Overlord|might]], [[Orcus on His Throne|I will invest those five minutes]].
* I will not use [[We Will Use Manual Labor in the Future|slave labor]] for any task [[No OSHA Compliance|better suited]] to machinery.
** Also, I will not [[Turned Against Their Masters|make the machines smart enoughtenough to rebel]].
** However, in an urban or industrial setting, I should be cautious so as not to over-mechanize my society, particularly if this would render a large population of citizens unemployed. Keeping plebs downtrodden and impoverished is fine, but if there are no jobs or no ways to make ends meet then heroes are always more likely to emerge or find sympathy. People in these slums or towns are far less likely to revolt if they're too busy working all day.
* If I have a monster [[Made of Iron|too]] [[Invincible Minor Minion|tough]] for the Hero's weaponry to hurt, I will never put it in a room with [[Boss Arena Idiocy|weapons, devices or explosives which CAN hurt it]]. If possible, the room shall be as bare as possible with no possible implements that could be extracted from the ground or wall. After all, [[MacGyvering]] is becoming an increasingly-common hero talent.
