Either 4, which is essentially 3 with more gameplay, or 2 if you're into the idea of building a pirate island and being a pirate king.

4 definitely. While it is very similar to 3, it has a full fledged story mode/campaign which is really well written and fun. It's like 5's except the structure is much better and you build a new island each mission which keeps you playing the fun initial part of the game.

While 4 is objectively the best in the series, I enjoy playing 1 the most.

1 is the best, two has the best soundtrack, 3 has the best radios, 4 is better 3 but too much modern shit, 5 is weird and you either love it or hate it and 6 is 4.2 with some very questionable mechanics and (even more) forced memes.

Pirate cove is low key extremely based.

4 is literally 3 with like 50% more content, 5 had neat ideas but it was too streamlined for my tastes and I can only imagine it's gotten worse since then

4 is best, but I'm ashamed to admit I also like 6.

Speaking of Tropico 6, are any of the DLC worth it when they go on sale. I enjoy 6 but never really looked into the DLC.

I played hundreds, maybe even thousands, of hours in both 4 and 5, but I still struggle to achieve a working and consistent ecomomy in 6.
I don't know what I do wrong, I already know that workers should have houses, services and food as close to their workplaces as possible, free public transportation and all that stuff.

4 is literally fully patched 3 with bunch of QoL improvements.
Original with pathfinding mod is also good. You see, the reason why the game was "hard" wasn't actual difficulty, it came right down from absolutely fucking dogshit pathfinding of your citizens, who can't pick the best routes, because the code is half-finished

Tropico 4 is the best.Also, how is Captains of Industry? Been looking for a good economy tycoon game for a while.

Is Tropico2 still hated for daring to be different?

Today I randomly learned that Tropico 7 is being worked on since at least a few years, apparently

3.
You've played the best one already. Nothing else to see here.
