You will all receive a spot on the same island and can share services and resources with each other, a la SimCity. If single-player leaves you feeling lonely, you can team up with up to three other players in online multiplayer. Like previous games, Tropico 5 will have a single-player campaign-one the developers think will rely less on predetermined events and more on naturally occurring chaos through the game's many interconnected systems. El Presidente's family is talented, but not talented enough to be in several different games simultaneously. You can also carry over your family from one game of Tropico 5 to another, but only after the previous game is completed. When you feel a family member is ready to lead, you can assign him or her as your candidate for the next election. In Tropico 5, members of El Presidente's family earn special skills that can be enhanced using the family's Swiss bank account. No man is an island after all, not even the ruler of a tropical paradise. Yesterday's solutions are tomorrow's problems.Įven the role of El Presidente will change from time to time. Its landscape is ever-changing, and no single strategy will carry you across the finish line. Tropico 5 wants to be the polar opposite with a focus on adaptability and flexibility. Are you going to pursue a cultural victory with the French, or perhaps a domination victory with the Zulu? The challenge is then adhering to this road map as strictly as possible, regardless of what twists and turns the game throws your way. For example, running a successful empire in Civilization V typically means deciding on a road map before the end of the first turn. This roll-with-the-punches style of leadership flies in the face of other strategy games. Yesterday's solutions are tomorrow's problems. Tropico 5's landscape is ever-changing, and no single strategy will carry you across the finish line. In fact, change is one of the few constants your island will enjoy. And their allegiances may change depending on the sort of government you run or the buildings you build. Your islanders may be loyalists or separatists, communists or capitalists, theocrats or bureaucrats-or some mixture thereof. Of course, one man's happiness is another man's frustration. You need them to grow your empire, and they need you to make them happy. Your citizens are at the heart of everything they're the lifeblood of your island.
