I ruled by being a diplomatic leader I gave healthcare, free living areas, high wages, and rarely heard any murmuring about a rebellion. How you do so is completely up to you, and almost any play style has their strengths and weaknesses. You?re placed in charge of building the economy, infrastructure, politics, environment, and anything else you could think of.
Once you pick your leader from preset options like Che Guevara, Fidel Castro and a dozen others, or a completely custom leader you design, you?re then put in charge and need to build Tropico from the ground up. They won?t be the only ones though, prepare to deal with the Middle East and China also.Īs El Presidente, you?ll have a full campaign with twenty missions on ten new maps that need to be played in order to unlock the next one. Because this era was chosen, you?ll constantly have the Soviets and Americans breathing down your neck forcing you to pick sides in difficult situations. Are you simply trying to build up your population for fame and the good of the people, or do you want to build a tourist resort to roll in the cash while ruling with an iron fist? You?ll be doing so during the banana republic era all the way up until the end of the Cold War. You are El Presidente and you now rule over all of Tropico how you do so is completely up to you. Generalissimo Santana has decided to take you under his wing and show you how to rule over the land. What?s great about it is that it never becomes too overwhelming at once, even for a new player to the series like myself. Haemimont Games has done a fantastic job of creating a game with very in-depth resource management, feeding population, keeping Tropiconians (I?m assuming that?s the right context) happy, balancing budgets and debt, foreign relationships, and plethora more that you?ll constantly have to juggle simultaneously. Actually, I rarely even make any power plants at all as only a few buildings require a set amount of electricity.
I learned very quickly that in Tropico, everyone can and will walk freely anywhere, and you aren?t forced to make that Sim City style of design to be successful. It took me awhile to wrap my head around some of the mechanics as I started off trying to play it like I would Sim City by building road infrastructures, electricity grids, residential areas and more in a symmetrical fashion. I wasn?t sure what to expect as I?m not usually very good at these types of games. I don?t really know why I never gave it a fair shot, and after playing Tropico 4, I regret not finding this series sooner. I?ve always loved the Sim City style of creation gameplay, but maybe it?s the ruling and management mechanics like Civilization that turned me away. I?ve actually never played a Tropico game before this one arrived on my doorstep, and to be honest, I?m not really sure why.
