Opinion about the game

What do you think about the new Tropico games (5 and 6)? I think that 4 was more fun but it was really buggy, don't really like the realistic design of the new one, 4 was more cartoonish and funny

From what I can tell, Tropico 4 and 6 are the chief candidates for the best Tropico game. 6 is more lavish, has more content, and has better graphics, but I've seen plenty of people consider 4 it's superior. 5 had too many niggling annoyances (like the Fog of War and Managers) that it's not well liked.

Tropico 6 lacks big trees, big palms, much more beauty trees/palms, lacks decorations with big trees/palms, lacks ability to regrow or plant trees/palms.

it has so far the most content in the base game , that a tropico ever had, but on the beautification part it lacks alot compared to the previous tropico

also the "RPG" part with choosing traits strength, weaks etc. has been dumbed down to single choosable "perk"

all in all a mixed tropico with some strength but clearly some weaknesses

and saddest part is, they aren't fixing the weakness instead bringing more or less boring DLC and free patch content... that has their own issues in specific parts

All in all, great base game with weakness and mediocre dlc's

And before i forget, Tropico 6 lacks the typical tropical island flora... just look at those trees...

tropico 2 is legit underrated.

Tropico 6 and 4 sit as the best tropico games. 4 if you like a slowed down pace focused on the cold-war, and 6 if you want to enjoy the archipelago and new transport mechanics, as well as modern graphics.

IMO 6 is better than 4 since it has everything good 4 has and more. It brings back building variants, building descriptions, presidente control, and customization.


5 feels like a mobile game in comparison to 4 and 6, totally bare-bones.

Wanted to play Tropico again, many years ago i played Tropico 3,4 and started playing 5 recently, then I saw there was 6 and bought it too.
The graphics are really beautiful and there is a big challenge to make money but I am getting the hang of it (25 hours in). I will not spoil the fun hehe but one thing that infuriates me, no one is working in the factories LOL, but maybe it is part of the game.

Just now I followed Lea Wilson with the highest of stats nearing 80% for fun and faith (yet she still feels the need to visit these places) but it took her the staggering 15.7 months to visit her flophouse, restaurant, chapel, flophouse and off to work to work for 2 months. Buildings are relatively close by, her house is like 200 meters away, the restaurant from her house is 100 meters away, the chapel is 300 meters away from the restaurant that is 400 meters away from her workplace. It takes roughly 1 month to travel 100 meters. So the docking ship came like 4 times while she was resting lol. But, while looking at her I did started accumulating money and from negative $30k went to plus $5, so I guess it doesnt matter if only one person works in the factory because the devs balanced the output so people still earn money.

Here is a pic where she went:

I wish I could rest for 15 months, then work only 2 and repeat, Lea doesn't know capitalistic society....yet hehe.

I do like challenge, the sandbox settings are:
Happines - moderate (3rd setting from up to down)
The other 2 for politics and world powers are max - agressive.
Pirate difficulty is Blackbeard for maximum carnage but yet, I would like a mod that spawns like 5-10 squads and make you to really fortify and keep your power as head of the nation.

Yes that frustrated me in the fourth game too, that's why I never finished it
