These two edicts alone became some of the most useful gameplay enhancers throughout Tropico 4's 20-mission campaign, and it makes it that much harder to return to Tropico 3.
The Ministry isn't always necessary but generally proves useful, if for no other reason than the Literacy Program edict that boosts learning speed for your citizens, giving you skilled workers in a shorter amount of time, and the ever-useful USSR building edict that'll cheapen the cost of apartment construction. Hiring ministers for defense, education, foreign relations, and so on allow you to use corresponding edicts, special demands or rules that'll grant various bonuses, either with factions or by providing discounts for particular buildings, among other things. Combine that functionality with created factories that allow the manufacturing of cigars, weapons, and a variety of other items, and you can start generating a sizeable amount of dough without creating a single farm or mine.Īnother big addition is the option to hire a council of ministers through the new Ministry building. Previous Tropico games have certainly featured exports as a way to sell your goods to other countries, but imports change things significantly. One of those changes is being able to call on imports to boost your economy and feed your people.
On the surface, both games look and perform in a similar fashion, but there are some neat, and important, changes to the gameplay of Tropico 4. Tropico 4 gets some flak for not doing enough to distinguish itself from Tropico 3. There are a lot of ways to be successful in Tropico 4, and not a single one feels like the wrong way to play the game. Maybe you'd like to focus on the tourism industry by keeping your industrious, minimum wage workers tucked behind a volcano while your beachfront properties gleam for the wealthy foreigners who flock to your island's pristine shore. Once you've set your avatar, you're ready to start building and subjugating your citizens, or you can play the nice guy and keep everyone happy, well fed, and employed. If you don't care for those choices, you can create your own El Presidente using a number of customization options, including various traits that'll add bonuses to each mission throughout the campaign. The core concept is that you take on the role of various real-world and historical personalities, such as Che Guevara, Manuel Noriega, Evita "Eva" Peron and others. Thankfully, Tropico 4 and its Modern Times expansion pack are really great experiences. The $40 Gold Edition package barely constitutes a value, and with a little price searching on the Internet, you can easily pick up the base game and the expansion for less than that. My best guess is that with 2012 not seeing a numbered release for the series, a decision was made to keep the Tropico name fresh in the minds of fans. Before I get into the actual quality of the game, I wanted to mention that this release felt unnecessary.
