You as the leader of the country want independence as well (it’s the only way to progress to the next era), but since you’re currently a governor in the employ of Her Majesty, you have to keep the crown happy lest they stop sending you much needed funds, and ultimately sack you for fomenting a revolution. For example, in the Colonial Era, the competing factions are the Loyalists and the Revolutionaries: the Loyalists want to remain loyal to your colonial masters while the Revolutionaries want Tropico to be an independent nation. Tropico is divided into four eras: the Colonial Era, the World Wars, the Cold War, and Modern Times.Įach era comes with its own scientific research, buildings, edicts, and various other advancements, but more importantly, each era also comes with its own competing external factions. The resource and population management aspects of the game are already enough for a person in love with fiddly bits to really sink his or her teeth into, but where the game really shines is in its relationship management aspect. You can even assassinate the leaders of the factions that are being particularly obnoxious, but you’ll have to find them and catch them, first. These edicts range from things like Building Permits, which will make buildings 20% more expensive, but siphon half of the cost into your personal Swiss account (which you will likely need to pay off certain factions who want to overthrow you), to Martial Law, which suspends all elections until such a time that it is less likely you’ll lose them. You do, however, have a fair number of edicts that you can hand down at the last second to secure your place in power for at least a while longer. You can keep your people happy simply by paying them higher wages, regardless of your politics, but you risk bankrupting the nation as a result. You can decide whether to be a benevolent president with all the democratic ideals in place (but if you lose the election, you lose the game), or a tyrannical dictator keeping everyone under your thumb (but if the rebels you will inevitably create oust you, you lose the game). You can’t even start building anything unless you’ve built a construction office first.Īs the ruler of this island nation, you will have to provide for your people, as well as yourself. ![]() And if your nation starts consuming more electricity, you’ll need to build more power plants, and converters, and transformers, etc. You can’t just immediately start using it you have to build power plants that cover your nation and its needs. You can’t just find it on the map and start using it you have to find the key components first (iron and coal), then build a steel mill, and only then will you have steel to use and trade with.Ī similar situation arises when you discover electricity. For example, once you have researched the ability to make steel, you actually have to make it. You’re only in charge of a small island nation and cannot expand beyond your physical borders to discover more resources, but there is a lot more to do than in your typical Civ game. Tropico 5 plays like a simultaneously stripped down and powered up version of Civilization. ![]() It’s bigger than most of the plantations you’ll be creating to feed your people. There are lush forests, untapped resources, crystal clear water, and your incredibly large house. The Caribbean nation of Tropico is an idyllic paradise, and the newest addition to the crown’s ever growing empire. ![]()
