Some events may try to endanger the player's booming trade, but being The Danube of all great ideas - and having my loyal advisor Penultimo on my side - I started smuggling rum to the US when they had a prohibition, and once I disguised Uranium as a canned food when the United Nations set a ban on trading it, which, by accident, ended up in Africa with Food aid.
That way I did not need to worry about an another invasion, I got my foreign Aid from the US, and I was able to keep selling rum to Russians.
I tried not to anger either party, but to keep good relations with both of them. In the era of the Cold War, you have to balance your relations with the US and Soviet union. Not only the ungreatful peasants may give you some trouble, as the time goes on, you need to take care of your foreign policies as well. Now, as I mentioned, there might be a revolt every other week, turning the streets into a real battlefield. In Tropico 4 everyone were happy to El Presidentes harsh rule - despite me purposely trying to be the worst Dictator ever: inprisoning their family for pure fun, making them work without a pay and trying to make their life as miserable as possible - just if they had their church and a pub. What I was happy to see in the new game is how much harder it is compared to the previous game. From now on I will consentrate building my military on shores! This happened to my Tank squad who never saw the combat in one of my darkest hours in my early game when the Nazis attacked me. Splitting up the forces will make your forces weaker when the units start fighting a superior force alone without backup, and sometimes the lonely units might get lost finding a path. One of the new elements of the game is the military system, where now you can have your own army of tanks and aircrafts.Īt the dawn of the new age I was wondering how should I build up my military barracks Should I group them down to one place to have a strong army to mobilise or have them split up here and there to prevent the mob burning down my distant factories while my army is heading to stop them? During my time playing the game I had no real answer to this question, both ways have their pros and cons. Uprisings and rebellions happens often, and thus it is vital to prepare yourself to tame down the angry mob trying to burn down your home. I watch how a few workers from the construction office back their stuff and head towards the location.įrom now on the game gets more complicated as now there are more political factions in your island, from Nationalists to Environmentalists, and pleasing them all at the same time is difficult. Admiring the spectacular view needs to be put aside for a later time as there is work to do! My first action as the governor - and as the careing Father of my Tropicans - is to build a few corn plantations to feed my growing population and have a few tobacco and sugar plantations to make a base for my future rum and cigar production, which shall be the backbone of my economy. I can see birds flying over my the majestic palace of my character, Rodrico Tortuella, who currently is a Governor of the island under the rule of the British Crown. The first thing that pops to my mind when I look at my Caribbean island is just how beautiful it is with its two steaming volcanoes and crystal clear water.
#TROPICO 2 MODS SERIES#
Despite all that, the general feeling of the game is all familiar, from the calming sansa music to UI layout, and being an old hand with the series it takes me no time to figure out what I am supposed to do.Įven if I were not, the game is quite simple to get the hang of things by following the advisors and missions telling you to various tasks, from build an library in your island to opening up a trade route in exchange of a small amount of money or a better relations with the other nations, while making a bit of an effort to open up some tabs to find out what it says there. How many years it has passed since I last played the franchise, I wonder as I start up a new scenario in Tropico 5, finding myself to struggle with remembering the basic keys and shortcuts.
This is not my first time playing Tropico I was first introduced to the game series with Tropico 2 and I have owned all the following titles ever since. In the game I am the loved El Presidente, leading my tiny Caribbean Banana republic and my fellow Tropicans to victory and prosperity, while not forgetting to feed my Swiss bank account occasionally either. Hola, my friends! Finally I managed to find enough time to put together my humble review of the recently released Tropico, which is the 5th title of the franchise.
