Tropico 5 didn't do a good enough job of making that a real choice. Tropico distinguishes itself by providing a political opposition to that vision - and the unilateral means of crushing it.

The Tropico series, at bottom, is a city-builder, and there are a lot of other games in that genre, where one overcomes economic forces to construct a utopia. Raids will let players steal from among 17 nations’ renowned landmarks Limbic Entertainment/Kalypso Media For gameplay purposes, the leader of a faction will still be drawn from the general population, and may be interacted with the same as any other Tropican. However, these spokespersons will be unique to each faction, unlike Tropico 5, where one character could represent different factions across eras. Each faction will be represented by a single spokesperson communicating with the player, similar to Tropico 5. Except for a purge of disloyal military officers - not a game option, something I effected line-by-line in a menu to stave off a coup d’etat- there was never any real need to deal dirt.Ĭorrection: A previous version of this story misstated the role of faction leaders in Tropico 6. For the most part, the locals went along with that idea because there were so few competing ideologies. In Tropico 5, I had a simple vision for my island - a cheesy, Cold War tourist trap featuring women in block-print sundresses and men with wide ties and the whole nation exporting rum and cigars. If you’re running a banana republic, extralegal expedience - bribes, assassinations, vote-rigging - must be the cocaine of authoritarian rule: Something very wrong, something you shouldn't do, but something you try once and then return to with increasing necessity. It's not the sexiest detail to sell a new game, but this has me tenting my fingers and hissing "yesssss" for Tropico 6. That's also very much based on player feedback." That's something the design team at Limbic (Entertainment) really tried to get into, this juggling act of different political factions and different political beliefs for your Tropicans. "In Tropico 5 it was very easy to get every faction to be happy," Tosta said, "so not every choice you made really mattered that much. With eight in the mix, at least one will be left out of the government. Tropico 6 will bring all of those interests together, Tosta said. Hotel maids and pool cabana boys don't need high school diplomas and by the time tourism is an option, most other good jobs will.But what grabbed my attention in our conversation about the new game is when Tosta admitted how easy it was to appease all of the factions in Tropico 5, whose historical eras gave the user no more than four to manage at a time.

Even if you weren't planning on going heavy into tourism for its own sake, it's important to build up a tourist economy infrastructure if only to provide jobs for illiterates.

There's a happiness tab that'll show you instant polling on how everyone feels about every aspect of your island, and there's a people tab that makes it easy to track how many are homeless or unemployed.

Use the almanac to keep track of your people's needs.

I highly highly highly recommend keeping your military based around Conscription (recruits do not require high school educations) and your Immigration policy set to Visa Program (nominally biases immigration towards more highly educated workers but mostly seems to get you more grade school educated folks instead of high school/college grads, still they're better than outright illiterates.)

My biggest struggle in 5 is managing to keep enough educated people around to do factory jobs without getting drowned in the uneducated folks who can only work on farms or as teamsters.

Try to have a teamsters office per production building/dock.

Parking garages and churches are no longer king shit like they were in Tropico 4, but teamsters can become a major limitation quickly.Ranches need open space around them for grazing land and if properly spread out can be really great. So if you want a textile mill, ideally you feed it with 3 cotton farms and 3 llama ranches for best efficiency. In general you want 3 of each raw material production per factory you refine it all in.
