Tropico 3 Megathread: Vote El Presidente, or else! - Games

Never played a demo so much.

This game is fun as hell. [editline]08:19PM[/editline] But I don't understand how I can recruit more soldiers. Explain please.

[QUOTE=Orkel;17516789]This game is fun as hell. [editline]08:19PM[/editline] But I don't understand how I can recruit more soldiers. Explain please.[/QUOTE] Raise pay.

Why are you doing this to me ATI?! [IMG]http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/6353/dibujoyn.jpg[/IMG]

[QUOTE=ThePutty;17598361]Hopefully that doesn't happen with every ATI card..[/QUOTE] I have an ATI card and it doesn't do that. Two question for you guys: what does the crossed out sack over a farm mean? Not enough teamsters to pick up the goods? And how do you keep workers from wanting more pay over time? It's fucking annoying when I have the cheapskate option and I'm paying $25 to everyone and I'm still not getting full workers.

Looks very intresting and sounds cool from what i can tell, imma download the demo and see what its like. :)

But it's not unusual for a farm to have the sign over it's head for the first year since they are busy plowing 'n' stuff.

I can imagine an advert. (nice voice)"Vote El Presidente..." (loud, scary voice) OR ELSE

Whats the easiest way to get Liberty? All my people have little to none, and it makes them all unhappy. Also how should I go about housing? Whats the best way? They always seem to complain about the shacks they make on their own, yet I have a lot of apartment buildings.

this game is hard

don't listen to him; let them cram into cheap apartments, just keep wages low subsidize low rent housing, profit of select high quality houses

[QUOTE=bobste;17608760]this game is hard[/QUOTE] Not really.

i have a 10 to 1 rebel soldier ratio help

They also tend to stick around in the shacks especailly if they are married with someone, in which case just "demolish" them to encourage them to move into their hopefully cheap and close housing.

Whats your guy's best campaign, or are you all just playing the sandbox mode? My best campaign so far is the one where you have to get a total happiness of 65% of your population. Loved what happen's to the oil fields after I sold them to a US conglomerate!

I just want to get this game and abuse the fuck out of the populace, being a complete dictator. You can do that, right?

[QUOTE=ThePutty;17614762]I just want to get this game and abuse the fuck out of the populace, being a complete dictator. You can do that, right?[/QUOTE] Yes. But you need to build up the population first, get a good income and get a lot of soldiers..

[QUOTE=mu ha ha;17615520]Yes. But you need to build up the population first, get a good income and get a lot of soldiers..[/QUOTE] Is there a way to obtain this without being a good leader?

[QUOTE=ThePutty;17616025]Is there a way to obtain this without being a good leader?[/QUOTE] Issue the contraception ban edict and set your clinics to increase birth rate. At this point women should start breeding like rabbits.

[QUOTE=ThePutty;17616025]Is there a way to obtain this without being a good leader?[/QUOTE] It's kind of hard. If you try to build up a military but have very poor happyness in your population your military will try to take over the government. I'm sure it's possible though.

Just finished it with 66% overall happiness at the end only to see "You lose", so I'm not happy.

What is this October 26th Steam Release Date bullshit?

[QUOTE=johngrimm;17617790]What is this October 26th Steam Release Date bullshit?[/QUOTE] That's the US release date. It's out in Germany.

[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;17617851]That's the US release date. It's out in Germany.[/QUOTE] GERMANY!! :argh:

I need to build so many apartments Stupid imigrants taking all are jobs

The first is one of my favourite games, I still play it. T3 is ok. I like the car idea since it makes expansion away from the population centres much easier, but the garages always get full in the middle of town. The voiceovers are [I]terrible[/I]. The advisor sounds like a massive faggot and the tourists sound unconvincing and awful. I got 700 people and my economy just tanked. I can barely keep my head above water even with two oil refineries.
