For this we turn to the tutorial which will teach you all of the controls for the game, from how to build structures and roads, ordering edicts, dealing with foreign affairs and more. Ordering edicts are the best way to boost support for your reign such as declaring a National Day, complete with fireworks every year, Social Security, free housing, as well as things dealing with foreign policies and defense spending.ĭoing an adequate job at teaching the basics surrounding “why” you should build a farm to produce food or a clinic to maintain a certain level of health care, the campaign doesn’t quite execute the “how” function all that well. ![]() Electricity and air conditioning are usually a good spot to start improving housing, and keeping people happy. The almanac shows approval ratings across the entire island giving a quick overview on improvements that need to be made. ![]() If there are openings, hiring an immigrant is a possibility, but runs the risk of losing support from nationalists, while increasing wages will entice more people to work there at the cost of your treasury. On the plus side, everyone will think twice now about jaywalking on my island!Įxamining any of your structures, including farms, mines and restaurants allows the management of employed staff as well as wages to be adjusted. Having an 88 year old retiree assassinated in public view didn’t bode well for the upcoming election – even if she had to coming. Listed among the happiness levels are various ways to “remove” someone from the island whether it’s by force, is up to you. Providing stats for every inhabitant on your island with a simply click, makes it no longer a guessing game on why a certain citizen appears unhappy. Seeing shacks sprout up like weeds throughout the island, and you know housing isn’t adequate enough.

I found most of my time spent in the relaxing Sandbox Mode, allowing me to build as I desire without having to deal with mission objectives. Even now, writing this review I find myself humming the tunes of Tropico. While not a fan of that style of music, the catchy beats will overwhelm you and eventually you will learn to live with it. Each of the missions can last a few hours and if you can’t stand Latin dance music, you may find yourself playing in silence. Playing through the 30+ mission campaign, that’s including the Modern Times expansion, main objectives and optional objectives will come and go as progress is made. ![]() Don’t be afraid to make some wrong decisions along the way, or ones that will fatten your own private bank account.

Through the decades el presidente will hopefully remain in office, the little uneducated backwards society will transform into a thriving nation through development, industry and tourism. Much like its predecessors, you are put in charge of a tropical island with the duty to keep the people of Tropico content through a kind heart, or a brutal dictatorship – just beware any signs of a revolution, it won’t end well for el presidente. Elected to office for another term, El Presidente returns in Tropico 4 Gold Edition, bringing together the original Tropico 4 and the Modern Times expansion.
