Hidden Base Plots
Overview
Hidden Base Plots are the lowest Prestige cost areas for Base construction available to players who have the City of Villains game.
There are 10 (ten) Hidden Base Plots available. Players gain the Tiny Hidden Spot for free by contacting a Super Group Registrar in either Atlas Park or Galaxy City for heroes. Villains can contact the Super Group Registrar in Port Oakes to gain their Tiny Hidden Spot. Larger Base Plots are available for increased Prestige costs from within a Base's Entrance Room to characters that have Base Editing Rights.
Hidden Base Plots range from the default 8x8 grid to the largest 24x28 grid. Hidden Base Plots have greater limitations on the number of Energy, Control, and Battery Base Items allowed than Secure Base Plots.

- Cost/Sq
- Cost per square of area.
- Rent/Sq
- Rent per square of area.
- Rent/Cost
- Rent as a percentage of plot cost.
Note that you're doing good if, with the smaller plots, the number of squares used for rooms is at least half the total number of squares, due to unusable space between rooms.
Limitations
All hidden bases have the following maximum item limits:
| Item Type | Limit |
|---|---|
| Battery | 1 |
| Control | 1 |
| Dimensional Anchor | 6 |
| Energy | 1 |
| Entrance | 1 |
| Workshop | 6 |
If you need more items than these limits allow, you need to be using a secure base plot.
