tourism and rebels

[monicaida25]

I have an island that lives exclusively on tourism, and unfortunately I have a group of 6 crazy people hiding on the island who from time to time decide to carry out suicide attacks and are immediately crushed several kilometers from the main city, but the problem is that this is scary tourists and they leave the island en masse, and that's how in less than a year I went from earning good money to having a debt of -200k dollars...

Seriously, this game is very poorly made compared to Tropico 5, not satisfied with the fact that the battles and combats look quite painful, the mechanics are horrible.

Tourists don't want to visit warzones.

Having guerrillas is a choice. It's your own fault for having low liberty. If you're going to play with guerrillas then don't make your entire economy dependent on tourism.

The point is that I don't have a bad government and I have very few guerrillas, as I said before, I literally have 4 crazy people who attack from the most inhospitable areas of the island, and who are quickly intercepted by my planes, that's why I say I don't understand Why does that have to affect my tourism?

I mean, that's kinda realistic. There is a reason people are so hesitant to go to Mexico for example, despite the touristy urban places there being given the label of "at least this area is functional" and generally avoiding the issue with you-know-who.

It doesn't matter how safe you proclaim a place to be. If folks come out of the jungle with guns to raid your settlements for whatever reason (even if they limit it to targeting only certain state/military areas), most tourists WILL distrust the place and it will hit the industry. That's how it generally goes IRL everywhere.

Whining this hard about "X game good Y game bad" over this is kinda hilarious.

That tourism is affected is not the same as that all tourists leave en masse and that for the next 5 years a maximum of 10 tourists come per boat, that is what I mean, my tourism industry was not affected, it was directly ruined, Mexico's industry is affected, yes, but Acapulco hotels do not go bankrupt

Anyway, after analyzing the problem, I realized that it wasn't the crazy 4 in the jungle, but apparently the rebels stealthily set fires to me in the tourist areas... could it be that? obviously I should have placed more watchtowers

I don't know, I think Tropico 5 was done much better than this.

As i said before, even fighting in tropico 6 is really embarrassing... Once, the rebels came to attack me and my tanks first went to the place where the rebels spawned and then turned around chasing them to the city...

I kinda agree with OP.
There is logic to "tourists don't want to visit warzones", but I have tourists on one island and the rebels attacking on another; and was left confused as to where all my tourists went. There isn't any message or ultimatum, it just quietly happens in the background. And my liberty wasn't bad, I had newspapers, tv stations, and radio. Everyone was well paid and had the best possible living quarters they could afford. The only problem is it seemed like some political factions were angry at me. It is less of "a choice" and more of "okay, so rebels exist for whatever reason and that means I just can't do tourism?"

If Tropico 7 ever happens, this needs to be something to fix. Not remove, just fix. I find rebels not much of a threat to my military as well, so it just becomes an annoyance more than any sort of "choice" or challenge. Tourism doesn't pay very well either and is expensive to get going properly. It feels like both of these two elements could use some serious work, both in general as well as how they interact with one another.

as I said before, my rebels were 4 crazy that I eradicated in an instant with the air force, I mean, I know from direct contacts, that the Yemeni extremists continue to attempt attacks in Qatar and Dubai, but even so, people continue to do tourism in these countries, my case is something similar, the combats are not in the tourist areas, however, as I said before, flash fires appeared in the tourist areas, the rebels were attacking silently and I had not understood it.

and I insist that the combats are little more than embarrassing in this game, even tropical 4 had better combats.

Omg 6 Crazy guys tried to attack the coffe plantation, this is now a warzone xD

if you can build a drone command, it can be set to go blow up rebels

I am consistently amazed that people on Steam are unable to grasp the concept that because there is an element to a game that they personally don't prefer that it doesn't make the game wrong or worse or buggy or whatever. I have been playing Tropico since the beginning of the series and enjoyed each one on its own merits. Also, I've never suffered the issues with rebels destroying my tourist industry that you describe. There's a way to deal with it. You just haven't figured it out.
