Hi ppl,
been reading this thread, so some points:
1) Beating the subgenius mission (thoth).
This can actually be done without saving and restoring, and its much more satisfying IMO. Firstly, I ALWAYS put EVERYONE I can under surveleillance and tail them, unless I'm out of teams.
OK, so first of all, search the church leaders place (ransack). This should net you evidence (10K deposit), plus some a lead to two people - a donor and a receiver. Place them both under surveillance and tail, with the receiver of the cash being the most important. Also, ransack the receivers house - you should find a letter from the Don (saying to wipe out the donor), and a "workman contract" (this should be familiar looking to anyone who's played this game a bit before!). Anyway, just wipe out the "workman" and you've done it!
2) Rescuing the royal family member.
One of the three suspects is linked to the kidnapper. I can't remember exactly how to id them, but I think that by tailing/surveillance you can narrow it down (should be the one that visit King's Cross or some other suspicious place). This person should be abducted and tortured until they reveal the kidnapper. Then ransack the kidnappers place and you've done it.
If you want to be safe (and havn't drawn much attention to yourself), then just abduct all three suspects. As soon as they tell you their organisation, you can either interrogate them more or cross them off the list.
Also, I've found that in cases where there are time limits, it's often best to torture to level 2, then revert back to level 0 once they're "pale and drawn". Note that it's best to check the interrogation tab every day, as you don't want them to die beforehand! Note that sometimes they can still die before you get the info, or they may not give it up - I guess this makes sense, since sometimes you may not get someone to crack before the time-limit. You could always save/restore if you want to beat it (as the questions/answers from interrogation are random).
3) Beating the Thoth missions - the two bodysnatcher ones and the Illuminati (Art Exhibit guy).
This is actually not a hint, but a HELP ME!
No matter what I do, I can't beat these missions! I mean, I wipe out (assassinate, interrogate, or heavy assault) the correct targets, I search the right places (according to the walkthrough posted), yet no matter what I do, the thoth guy doesn't say I completed it! After a while, the missions just go away (I get the "to the shredder" message for them).
Is there any particular order for these? I've tried them in many different ways, and I can NEVER beat them. I know people here have done it - was there a certain order? I've beaten this game to get the PM (albeit cheating a little bit) - but have never beaten all Thoth missions because of this! I'm going nuts!
Thanks,

Brutality is the key!
