Naturally, as you would expect, every wonder of the world increases tourism value.įortunately, you'll always find something different to challenge yourself with. All plantations and hydroponic plantations have increased efficiency, hugely helping to alleviate any food concerns.
The Temple of Heaven is my favourite of the wonders, though only accessible in the fourth and final era - modern times. They do, in some cases, have a major impact on the development of your city.īuild the Hagia Sophia, your Tropicans will never die from a low healthcare rating - though they will still be somewhat irritated that your idea of a great doctor is that guy from Human Centipede. Even the major new feature of Tropico 6, raids, pays little more than lip service to the outside world. Housing brings in rent, based on the wealth of the occupants, with stores, tourist attractions and other buildings bringing in revenue from the visitors, either tourists or locals. For all Tropico's introduction of El Presidente having to come back because Britain has gone bonkers, the US has elected the human equivalent of a mutated pumpkin and all other nonsense, it never really pays more than lip service to the idea that there is actually an outside world.įor something that has a consequence, you have to look to the economics rather than the politics of this city-builder. Attacks, for what they are, are easy to defend against and never really offer a challenge. Even if you don't go for this though, there's no real issue. War is always a risk unless you choose the policies that essentially act as the "stop the angry men" option. Thankfully you don't really need to balance your relations with the world's superpowers that much. It doesn't help that your decisions don't really have any major impacts, since, as in real life, it's so easy to just backtrack and placate the next group's fickle demands. In a world where the absurdity of politics, the perverse intrusion of business and special interests in governmental decisions and the rise of populism are all real issues, seeing them satirised in a game doesn't really work now. If there is something that's an issue for Tropico 6, it's just that the tone doesn't work anymore. Related Story Chris Wray Kapital: Sparks of Revolution Review – Communist City-Building? At least you can cheat by building it and then just demolishing it right after. All too often will a faction want you to build a building that you already have more than enough of, but if you reject it, you lose standing with them. This is my preferred way because the requests, frankly, irritate me.
Naturally, you can't keep everybody happy, so maybe you'll want to use one of the many options in such as your newspapers or radio stations to slightly edge your people in a preferred direction. Later on, you'll be having to choose between Capitalists, Communists, Industrialists or Religious folks to name just half of them.Īll of this is done through the completion of requests given from these factions, directly impacting their relations, as well as your choice of ministers, the settings on buildings and generally how you develop. Early on you only really have to balance between royalists and revolutionaries, where you'll always want to grow the revolutionaries and eventually declare yourself independent of the crown. Particularly so when it comes to election times in later stages. In addition to keeping your Tropicans happy, you'll also find the need to keep a track of and balance the happiness of eight different factions, many of which can truly determine the path of your island nation. All of these will be directly impacted by the buildings you build but also the layout of your city, with buildings having a limited area of effect as well as a max number of spaces for the Tropicans who may need to visit them. These are, but not limited to homelessness, employment levels, liberty, food variety & quality, entertainment variety & quality, crime safety, healthcare and pollution levels.
From the base factor of your population's happiness, which is impacted directly by a myriad of other aspects you need to keep balanced. As you may expect in a city-building game, you have many elements to keep balanced. This is where the balance comes into play. Maybe you want to be a benevolent leader, offering your people total freedom, but keeping yourself in power by keeping them happy. You can be a dictator, ruthlessly arresting - or killing - all who oppose you. Tropico 6 is fundamentally a game about letting you develop your land however you please.
If I wasn't being an absolute prat about it, they'd be "balance" and "freedom". If there are two words that could best explain Tropico 6, they'd be "need" and "space" in the largest font, in bold, underlined and in bright fluorescent pink just to draw attention to them.
