Apparently they will completely design all building assets from the ground up, instead of copying them over from previous entries. So for the first time in 3 entries it will actually feel like a new game and not an eternal Early Access game still getting updates.Then there is the design goal to actually simulate a citizen's life by having them go to nearby facilities to fulfill their needs. They will also have many unique animations, when interacting with objects or environments. So you will see hot women doing yoga in the park.And then there is also the impression I got from watching some of the promo material, that they will finally stop doubling down on the "comedy" with each sequel and revert back to a more serious atmosphere with parody sprinkled on top, instead of having it completely dominate the atmosphere.Then there is also the fact that the devs worked on some railway/logistics game and will directly import railway and road mechanics from that game into Tropico, so Tropcio will finally have good logistics. At least visually. Maybe the teamsters will still break down like all of the other games, if you don't set up everything near the docks.Overall I am cautiously excited. I will definitely play it. It can't be worse than 5. I am a bit concerned about the weird way they are trying to make the game political. They made it very weird. Instead of being able to pick and choose your policies and then having the game tell you that you are a National Socialist, because your island makes a ton of money through Capitalism, but you also do a lot of Social Programs, the game will instead restricts you. If you are playing a Capitalist El Presidente, you will not be able to do Socialist or Communist policies and vice versa. Very weird.

Oh yeah I forgot this game was even announced.
It will probably be pretty lame.
It has a good chance of being better than 6, since I imagine they will likely bring back the campaign mode.
But given the broader downward trajectory of the series since 4, I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Just as long as there is no gimmick bullshit like stealing wonders. I accept the era system is here to stay even though I dislike that immensely. I also want to control immigration again, and through the 'constitution' mechanic either. Fuck it just remake 4 and I'll be happy.

I wish we got a newer and better Tropico 2.
Pirates are an underrated concept for a city builder.

3 was basically just a remake of 1 from back in the day. 4 was good, I liked 4, some innovation like cars and trucks without going crazy.

Eras don't work because Tropico is a game about El Presidente. Assuming El Presidente comes into power as a 20 something young man and lives into his 90's that's only 70ish years that the game can take place in.

I personally like the eras, they are just very badly implemented. I've discussed this before.
What we get is an eclectic mishmash of buildings that don't fit well together, which becomes most apparent with the modern buildings that are too new and shiny and clash with more run down 1960's style buildings. And everything from the colonial era becomes an eyesore and never alters in its purpose, so becomes irrelevant.
What it should be is that old buildings change their function over time, so it goes from
>coastal fort provides early defense, as well as acting as a barracks and prison
to
>coastal fort is now a tourist trap

I have 5 free from epic, is it worth playing? Haven't played any tropicos at all, but played some simcity 2000 as a kid and cities skylines recently (like a few years ago)

are they finally going to make the island not tiny-as-fuck, smaller than a simcity 2000 map? it feels like i'm trying to build a country on Little St. James

The franchise is inching towards a mobile game format (and visuals) with each new game. Fucking sad.

Anon02/13/26, 00:16No.2341353
I don't get why they don't just make a simcity 4 type deal with wanting more islands. You just have multiple islands to switch between on a big map but they are all Tropico. You select one to be your capital and the rest remain little villages until you get around to them.This way you can have way more internal and external pressure. America put you in power and want you export 1 million tonnes of cheap bananas per year or they kill you? Go to island 4 and turn it into a banana plantation that you won't actually get paid enough per banana to recoup the loses of running it. The final goal would be successfully slip out from under your overlord and how well you do it would determine your score.

>Tropico 1
Too old to enjoy
>Tropico 2
Pirate genre satire, includes sexism
>Tropico 3
Didn't play
>Tropico 4
Amazing writing and comedy, little or no knowledge of the era required, you probably won't be offended even if you lived in the era
>Tropico 4: Modern Times
Internet HAHA, writing LOL, satires the modern world LMAO really badly, + 'member when [campaign mission] jokes
Probably hired budget comedians or something
>Tropico 5
Evergreen campaign idea (you have to continue your mess you made, you have an A island and a B island like a good written story book, time travel fighting "yourself" of which the only other RTS that did this was Empire Earth), why don't video games do things like this more?
... but it's 2014 and IRL political rot is in the games industry by this point
... we have to tone down the sex jokes (of which two recurring characters were one dimensional sluts, btw they're only recurring because they're female)
... we ran out of budget or talent or something and have less features and half our assets are reused
... and we can't actually parody IRL politics because of legal reasons and/or we'll be assassinated and/or we ran out of writers and/or we know not to offend anyone
... and 'member when tropico 2! And 4! 'member when the games were fun?
>Tropico 6
It's 2019
The political rot has fully taken root
The dippy hippy who liked riding dicks is now a black feminist environmentalist or whatever
It looks terrible, it feels terrible, it is terrible
Gimmick doesn't work (why do devs create agent games, do not program intelligent agents nor ways to diagnose agents not getting to work, then give them giant maps? Two Point Hospital has the exact same problem)
There's no satire despite the trailer, it's just 'member when!
German dev, fucking hell Germans are soulless husks
.
.

>Tropico 7
Oh boy, another German dev!
And a game made during what is still the height of political rot and anti-art ideology in media!
'Member wheeen!

If they actually make a new game like they claimed and aren't just copy pasting assets and code from past entries then it has potential to do better than Tropico 6.Otherwise it'll be the same sterilized slop void of any creativity and originality where they didn't even bother testing their own mechanics and left so many exploits and balancing issues that any retard can play and turn their island into a world superpower.They need to bring back the unhinged dictatorship/political content that made the older entries famous and fuck off with the political correctness/passive wokism that caters to redditors and trannies.
