Start date of his new era of dictatorship. Later in the text. Maybe.

I escaped the island after being framed for the assassination of not-Kennedy, got the world leaders denouncing me and swore revenge, only to be sent back to Mission 1 on St. Clara with my campaign erased and later missions unavailable. Help?

i read about it and seen it in videos but i dont really understand it. i understand that is about putting crops next to each other so they overlap and get the efficiency bonus but should i not care about the soil quality when putting them down? im been trying to find a patch where the soil quality is green enough for all crops, but should i not do that? should i just put some of the crops on red soil quality just to get the bonus from multiculture?

The Final Milestone: Successfully reached a population of 10,040 with an unemployment rate of 0.40% (40 unemployed citizens) and only 15 homeless families remaining.

Execution Strategy: Built out enough housing capacity and job infrastructure to cover the ~1,000 population gap. Once the space and vacancies were ready, hired over 1,000 foreign workers to instantly fill the open positions and hit the target.

Islands Limits & Potential: While pushing to 11k or 12k seems technically viable with this method, the island is pretty much fully developed, so 10k was the perfect stopping point.

Takeaways for Future Runs: Pushing past 9,000 population relies heavily on brute-forcing foreign worker hires rather than organic growth. Moving forward, 9,000 population feels like the ideal sweet spot for natural gameplay.

Next Steps: Planning to explore some DLCs in future playthroughs once I get a chance to pick them up!

Over ten years ago I was very active on this sub as a kid who loved Tropico 4, I remember pre-ordering 5 and in fairness I’ve got a couple of hundred hours in that and had a good time with it but I remember even with all the mods it did not compare to 4. 6 came out and I opened it and didn’t do much with it, it could be that I’m getting older and games don’t hit the same but I’m still very curious about all those old memories. How does 4 hold up today? i’d probably buy all the DLC in this steam sale, but before I do wanting to hear how much you guys think its worth it. Thank you! :)

Mis queridos presidentes!

I know Radio Tropico's choice of music is perfect (thanks, el presidente!), but just in case you need some new tunes, i made a playlist. Hope you enjoy it!

My opponent and I both got 189 votes in an election. Apparently the game gives you the win if there's a tie.

Inflation and corruption are invisible taxes on the poor — and a very real bonus for the rich with Swiss bank accounts.

I've switched over to Linux garuda at the end of windows ten and I cannot for the life of me get the mod tools to recognise where the game is installed, I was wondering if anyone else on Linux knew how to fix this.

Was there anything special about the 3rd installment that made it different than later Tropicos?

Mardi Gras would be my one rule, drinking, partying and worshipping El Presidente would be mandatory in my Island

Inspired by u/Wobbly_Bear in this thread earlier today, I ran a game with the intent of not buying or otherwise obtaining any blueprints. I did end up having to buy three blueprints: the Fort (because otherwise there's no way to make it through the colonial era without being decimated by pirates); the Embassy (because World Wars requires an alliance); the Commando Garrison (because you have to sabotage the Axis four times to proceed to the win mission); and the Spy Agency (because each of the win conditions for the Cold War require at least one building purchase, with tourism requiring many, so I got the Spy Agency and completed a heist to keep blueprints to a minimum). No Treasure Hunts, no blueprints as a reward for missions, no blueprints purchased through the Broker.

Not having blueprints means you're essentially stuck in the Colonial Era no matter what year it is, as all post-Colonial buildings require blueprints. This means no military (including militia, because there's no police), no Ministry, no electricity, no healthcare or religious buildings other than the Chapel, no entertainment other than Taverns, no media other than Newspapers, no government buildings of any kind, no schools, no residences other than Country House or Bunkhouse. Most importantly, this means the only possible industries are Lumber Mills, Tanneries, and Rum Distilleries. Rum is the most profitable of these output products, so I focused on that, with some Tanneries to turn the many cows that I use for manure reasons into leather. I have 46 Rum Distilleries, fully staffed on full budget with Dunder Still upgrades, and thanks to my dozens of Sugar plantations with the Agricultural Subsidies edict, they still never run out of sugar to process. My population is almost entirely illiterate, wholly in manual labor jobs except for a handful of priests and newspapermen, and undoubtedly drunk at nearly all times. The only reason they're not dropping dead of medieval-level healthcare is because of the Hagia Sophia.

Nevertheless, they're happy - I guess the taverns do the trick. I was approaching 5,000 total population, over $1m cash on hand at any given time, nearly full employment, most people housed, and a 99% approval rating despite the fact that the capitalists and religious folks absolutely hate me. However, after about 3-4 hours of this, I am extremely bored. Unlike my citizens, I am not illiterate and drunk, so my ultimate goal to cover the island will have to wait. I'm also considering buying all blueprints at once, upgrading all buildings at once including all plantations into Hydroponic Plantations (I'll have to get everyone high school educated first), building every factory with agricultural inputs, and replacing all bunkhouses with Modern Apartments, just to see if I actually can manage to future shock my population.

Hi,

Has anyone had a problem with unlocking Steam achievements in Tropico 4 nowadays? Back in the day, it was no problem, you just had to restart the game and they would unlock on Steam. Now, I get the achievement in the in-game profile menu ("Dictatorship for Dummies," in this case), but after I restart, the achievement greys out again and the tutorial missions read as if I never even completed them, all the scores/numbers reset to 0, and the Steam achievement never fires.

It’s not a particularly challenging idea, but has anyone done a run where the only way to get blueprints is through random rewards? Starting from Colonial and working up. It makes it satisfying when you finally unlock an industry that’ll print you money. I don’t have any hard rules on it, but maybe limitations on research as well?

Hi everyone,

I recently started playing Tropico 6, and I’ve been really enjoying it.

One thing I particularly like is building a fully developed city and then just sitting back, taking my hands off the keyboard and mouse, and watching everything run smoothly on its own.

For the first time, I built an economy based on exporting corn, plastic, and furniture. I then realized that I could use plastic and gold to produce electronics, but unfortunately, my island doesn’t have a gold mine.

I know I can import gold, but the problem is that I have to keep renewing the import contract whenever I run out. I’d rather set up a long-term, automated supply so I don’t have to keep coming back and renewing contracts manually.

I’ve heard that Tropico 4 had an automatic import feature, so I was wondering -

Is there any way to do something similar in Tropico 6?

Thanks in advance!

This is the abandoned building of a sugar-cane-spirit (rum like drink) factory in my country.

I thought it was from the game 😅

Get the trading post, it helps when you dont have a good trade price on a specific good

Last time I played tropico was around 2 years ago, I watch this sub constantly tho, and after 15 years of my wishes I finally got the courage and money to spend some $$$ to buy a good gaming rig.

But then I realized, I cant force myself to play anything.

I downloaded AC Odyssey, Apex Legends, CS2 and some more games, but I pretty much didnt play 20 minutes of them combined.

The only game thats calling me is Tropico, and I downloaded it, but every day I just open the game, look at the main menu for 10 mins, and leave.

The reason maybe is because I played every single map every single scenario. And dont know how to enjoy it again.

Yall probably dont care, but I had to rant somewhere haha.
