I don't know how much cargoes ships can carry. There's little if any useful tooltip info anywhere. And then I need to do that for the remaining 5 plantations, 6 ranches and 30 houses.
TROPICO 5 POLLUTION UPGRADE
And I can't even upgrade buildings easily - I need to find that building, click Update, click the actual update. I can't see conveniently see which buildings have upgrades either - the almanac does show that info but it's buried deep and is difficult to manage and the control is buggy. And I don't even know (and the game doesn't tell either) how effective my metro system are. are? It's a nightmare when I've laid down some cabins in the woods but then I can't find them anymore, or if I want to build a metro system but I need to find that tiny entrance among all the buildings. Education buildings don't tell how fast they are teaching people - sure, I see there are 15/15 students, but how soon will I get the next batch of high school educated citizens? Do I need to build more high schools or not? What's the industrial building's input utput ratio? Is it 1:1? How does parking places work? And metro system? Why is there no overlay or similar things that allow me to see where all the 1-tile buildings - cabins/metro/etc. I don't know how much are my grocery covers. The game doesn't show influence area of things such as education buildings, religion buildings, etc.
TROPICO 5 POLLUTION MANUAL
The manual is awefully short and useless (where's the awesome, informative, well written Tropico 1 and 3 manual?). No, the problem is not just with dumbing down, but a lack of information. But compared to 1, or many other city building games, Tropico 5 is quite dumbed down. Now as I've said before, I've skipped 2 to 4 of the series. I dunno what Space Satan did which made him finished the game after getting nuclear power. It's 15 mission in total (I'm currently in the last), spread over 4 maps. I'm pretty late to the party but thought to share some info.įirst thing is, the campaign is not 5 - 6 mission short. There are some bum notes both tonally and strategically, Tropico old hands will find the bones of the things over-familiar, and despite having tons of things to fiddle with ultimately it’s hard not call it a lightweight game. Whether that’s the case or not, I happily indulged myself for many long hours – this is a solid good time. I also haven’t looked at the series-first multiplayer yet, which likely shakes things up more. Usual proviso though – it is the inevitable fate of any games critic to have to binge-play most games, so there’s every chance Tropico 5 would have retained its vibrancy for longer were I only dipping in and out. The campaign to some degree retains past efforts at least, so there’s relatively little rewinding all the way back to your first scrappy banana plantation there. I’ve got to admit that a familiar fatigue set in past a certain point, where the concurrent tasks of bringing in cash, expanding your civ, keeping citizens suitably happy (or their oppression watertight), allies allied and enemies at bay begins to look a little onerous, especially if you’re starting a new game from scratch. Tropico 3 and 4 was not a complex game, but Kalypso managed to outdo themselves and create a shit out of potentially great economic simulator. The game could be described by just two words - "Dumbed down". Population now no longer divided into lolyalists, communists etc, they are just amorphous mass with some sympathies.Įtc et etc. No more people appealing to you about isle problems - you can buy any demonstration or disperse it with military. Pollution, religion and everything else are fucked. Do they cover territory or count towards total population. I have no idea how could they do it but now you have only X/Y visitors for clinics, churches etc. Trade is worthless, just additional micromanagement to get a bit more profit. You are given the option to upgrade tenements to apartments and then into skyscrapers. There's no choice like tenement or apartment. You build the same factories time and time again. Only hotels are available for tourist building. No more special tourist buildings and ports - tourists arrive from your industrial port and go through all dirty streets and slums. Tourism available only at modern times. You just build nuclear program and.game ends.
For fuck's sake it has only.5 or 6 mission campaign, that doesn't reach modern times.
