Tropico 5 Announced

Kalypso Media announces Tropico 5, a new installment in the island dictator series, where players will once again take on the role of benevolent dictator El Presidente. The sequel is in development at Haemimont Games for release for Windows, OS X, Linux, and Xbox 360 next year, and the new twist here will be the inclusion of multiplayer support for the first time in the series, as up to four players will be able to play it together cooperatively. The Tropico 5 website is already live, offering a teaser trailer in newsreel style showing El Presidente gloating about the success of his floating city of Columbia island nation of Tropico. Here's word:
Packed with a whole host of new gameplay features and all new artwork designed from scratch, Tropico 5 takes the series into a new and exciting direction – dynasties!

You, as El Presidente, will first take control of the infamous island of Tropico during early colonial times and then guide it through the centuries as the world changes and moves ever forward. You must tackle the changing needs of your people, as well as opposing governments and factions, and thus lay the foundations for your own dynasty. As you move through your years in office you can promote members of your extended family on the island to positions of power: such as ambassador, commanding general or even Supreme Ruler, to ensure your legacy thrives through the eras. As your influence and wealth grows, so do the threats to your burgeoning island superpower. Can you survive both World Wars, prosper through the Great Depression, rule as an iron-fisted dictator through the Cold War and advance your country to modern times and beyond? From the 19th to the 21st century, each era carries its own challenges and opportunities.

As well as a wealth of other new features, including advanced trading mechanics, technology, scientific research trees and island exploration, Tropico 5 will add cooperative and competitive multiplayer for up to four players for the first time in the series' history! Viva El Presidente!

Features of Tropico 5

  • The Eras - From the 19th century to the 21st, each era carries its own challenges and opportunities. Begin your reign during colonial times and advance your nation through the modern era and into the future!
  • The Dynasty – Each member of El Presidente’s extended family is present on the island and may be appointed to key leadership positions, earning skills and experience in their assigned roles.
  • Research and Renovate - Advance your nation by discovering new buildings, technologies and resources. Transform your old buildings into modernized, hyper-efficient designs worthy of an economic superpower!
  • Advanced trade system and trade fleet - Amass a global trade fleet and use your ships to secure import/export trade routes to neighbouring islands and key nations.
  • Explore your island - Discover what lies beyond the fog of war. Send prospectors to look for new mineral and ore deposits, but be wary of hostile animals and native tribes.
  • All new art - All artwork is reworked to provide Tropico 5 with a distinct historic visual identity. Choose from over 100 unique buildings from each of the individual eras.

I quite enjoy Tropico 4, though it does have some really weird-ass quirks. (Such as: Why is nobody going to my high school? It's opposite the road from the elementary school, which has kids hanging from the rooftops it's so full, but nobody goes to my high school. Plenty of teachers, in the middle of town, etc. I have students in my universities. Never get anyone in high school.)

But after playing about five or so missions, and just building massive cities with everything and anything in each one, I'm kind of done with it.

The education system in Tropico 4 is glitched in more ways than just that (or maybe it's a feature). You can literally educate yourself out of a workforce if you don't massively restrict the education buildings. The other direction is that you can dead-end your population education as well where people are all in jobs and nobody has time to go to Highschool.

Tropico's education system is one thing I never enjoyed in these games. It's so.. micro management heavy and not paying attention can easily ruin your running city.
