As one might expect, they are as non-exhilerating as they sound. Tropico 6 puts a big emphasis on those side missions, which simply consist of paying “raid points” and waiting for the timer to reach zero. I have to say, I didn’t enjoy the raids as much as I expected. It’s freaking Russia.īecause there’s nothing as democratic as decorating your palace with a shark tank.
#Tropico 5 city planning upgrade#
You can then upgrade this pirate cove to a more modern mission command center and perform even more complex raids, even reaching something as drastic as threatening Russia with a nuclear war. No, I’m not talking about something like what’s featured in Destiny 2, but you can build pirate coves and tell your citizens to perform some raids around the world, such as rescuing castaways or even stealing the actual Stonehenge from the United Kingdom and placing it on your island. Do you want barbed wire surrounding it? Sure, why not? Do you want to add the glass pyramid from the Louvre or a shark aquarium the size of a house? You’re the president, you’re the one who dictates the rules, duh.Īnother main addition in Tropico 6 is the option to perform raids. The game now allows for you not only to customize your own dictator to your most disgusting likings, but also design your own presidential palace.
#Tropico 5 city planning how to#
If only I knew how to do symmetric city planning… Add in the fact that you can randomly generate a literal infinite number of archipelagos, with the possibility of choosing how many resources and overall amount of islands they’ll feature, and the replayability factor goes through the roof.

The maps are much larger in Tropico 6 and with the possibility of linking islands over with bridges, it makes up for much more interesting physical locales to impose your beloved democracy upon the populace. My favorite addition is the possibility to rule over an entire archipelago instead of a singular huge island. I’m a sucker for rumba and salsa, and Tropico 6 definitely nails it in that department. To top things off, the series’ staple Latin-infused soundtrack is still as fantastic as ever. It’s also well-optimized, as it manages to run and look beautifully even on less powerful hardware, such as laptops. It does the usual graphical improvement, with slight upgrades to textures, visuals, and performance. Tropico 6 is the typical sequel that doesn’t add a lot to the table in quantitative terms, but almost every new addition it offers improves the gameplay or fun factor significantly. You can steal that basilica from the Russians, if you dare.
