Tropico 5

Tropico 5 is a strategy about governing an island state, where the ruler leads the country through the centuries. The campaign spans eras from colonial to modern. The constitution and decrees determine how citizens live, and elections provide a reason to be re-elected. The economy is based on exports, and prices depend on the world market. The dynasty is continued by relatives, and each ruler has his own characteristics. Troops and police are needed both for protection and against dissatisfied people. The island lives by decree, and the decree requires money and people. Construction proceeds according to eras: first farms and a port, then factories and tourism. Parties and rebels make it difficult to rule calmly, and you have to negotiate with them. Outside powers offer help and demand in return. The heirs continue the business after the death of the ruler. Discontent grows from taxes and decrees, and it has to be brought down. Tourism and industry require different buildings. An army is needed both against neighbors and against our own. Some factions support the ruler in exchange for privileges. Epochs open up new buildings and laws. The island lives off exports, and prices change depending on world events. Some decrees are needed for order, some for money. Neighbors trade and fight depending on their relationship. The heirs continue the dynasty. Ages unlock new buildings and tasks. Weather and crops affect the island's income. Some buildings are being converted to new needs. Neighboring powers interfere in the affairs of the island and demand concessions. For those players who like to manage an island through the centuries, this part is suitable.
