And when you get there, these buldings are not so powerfull, because you already have the old backwards city full of problems to handle. You really need to start with backwards village with no advanced buildings available and no cheap sources of money. Now these building are simply not available at the beggiing. It was wasy to exploit some building to make the game really easy (free hotel bonus, customs office.). In T4 you had all building available from the beggining and were limited just by their costs. Each unlocking you new buildings, edicts, nations, goals etc. ![]() First of all there is standart research tree. (it was somehow done in T4 DLC, but now it is implemented much better). Old strategies does not work and you need to play differently. But at first look, it seems like a same game. There are few buildings and options removed. The rules are same, the graphics are almost same (port from last gen). The way the city works is almost the same. So from one strategy you slowly need to start depending on tourists, offices, production from imported goods,etc If you played previous Tropico games: If you are experienced in the series, here is a list of main updates. And if you dont prepare yourself in time, you will cut yourself from cash. But you need to expect that all mines will run out. At the beggining you will realy heavily on mining. This forces you to update your strategy and plan for the future. I also like that raw resources on the island are limited. ![]() You can kill crime lords and rebels making your lands safer for you, but you will make unhappy all the family members, etc. Again - the deep simulation of this game makes this fun. You can run the police, prison and order assasinations to get rid of most probelamtic citizes. Hoping the rebels will not destroy your palace. Or you can ban the elections and just keep yourself at power by military exploiting your people to get as much cash as possible. You can try to be nice, keep your people happy and keep yoursefl at power by elections. Due to this deep simulatio nthe game is easy to play (the impacts of your actions are intuitive and you need just common sense to understand what you need to do) but difficult to master (you can really micromanage individuall factions and try to affect how many people are in each of them and, bribe their leaders, etc.) Nice thing about Tropico is that you can play it with diffeerent styles. But everybody in religious faction will recieve negative points to his happiness. Allowing same sex marrige will group more people into familise and you need less houses. Houses does not contain free slots for people, but families. Nice example of the game depth is for example allowance of same sex marriage. You can also issue different edicts (laws) that will somehow change the life on the island and have different advantages and dissadvantages (you can assign some free food to citizens = happier people, but lesser exports. ![]() And your citizens are divided into several political factions. You need to keep other countries happy (to avoid invasion and receive bigger foreign aid). But in theory sick person on one end of the map can walk to hospital on the other end. And if people live and work far away, it will take a long time to travel there and will maybe miss the work, etc. It is not a good idea because the capacity may not handle all sick people. The difference is, that in theory one hospital can cover whole island. But you need to get individual citizens to the working hospital). ![]() (you dont need to feed hospital with employees to automatically improve health in surrounding area. The game is focusing on simulation of individual citizens. There is also almost no "area of effect" placed on buildings. There is no "zoning" and you place each single building indivitually. If you did not play previous Tropico games: Tropico is a city building game based on pretty deep (but not overwhelming) simulation. There are better city builders, but not so many and Tropico is still worth playing too. But personally I consider it best in the series and one of the best city building games in the genre (platform wide). Of course it is best of the genre on the PS4 (duh). But personally I consider it best in the series Tropcio 5 is a great city building game.
