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

[QUOTE=Skooma;17622464]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.[/QUOTE] explain how it tanked would be a good cautionary tale; I'm guessing your raw materials were not suffecient for your industries and that you are using housing as a profit source rather than cheap subsidized at will prisons for your workers who work for dirt because of practicly free houses and social security

I had freeze dried coffee, rum, oil, and fine jewelry industries going but it still wasn't enough to stop the hemorrhaging.

I noticed my construction fees get way out of hand if I a lot of pending projects, and with the construction workers liking to take their time...

Is there any cheats for this? I got my save stuck in around 40k debt and my people are all starving.

What is the best way to make money? I trying everthing and I still over -10,000 :(

[QUOTE=PowerBall v1;17632547]What is the best way to make money? I trying everthing and I still over -10,000 :([/QUOTE] Start with a few farms (sugar or tobacco, just check what grows best on your island) and build a cigar/rum factory as soon as you can afford it.

Kalypso banned the serial code all 'those' people have been using and now 'those' people can't play anymore :P

Is the Steam Demo doing the "Not available at this time" thing for anyone else?

Whyyyy. Why must we wait :C

[QUOTE=DOG-GY;17641197]Whyyyy. Why must we wait :C[/QUOTE] It's those damn dirty Krauts.

[QUOTE=Thom12255;17633789]Kalypso banned the serial code all 'those' people have been using and now 'those' people can't play anymore :P[/QUOTE] They should have done something hilarious like turning every single person on the island into a rebel at a random interval.

~torpico~

I don't know how you can rate a post disagree when it isn't an opinion.

[QUOTE=Thom12255;17633789]Kalypso banned the serial code all 'those' people have been using and now 'those' people can't play anymore :P[/QUOTE] 'Those' people can still play so I've heard.

[QUOTE=JDream;17655956]'Those' people can still play so I've heard.[/QUOTE] All they have to do is pop in another CD key and off they go. Or they could buy a legit key using the link that's provided.

How long does it take for my secret service to stage an accident? I set one on my campaign opponent, his wife, and several people voting for him and I have yet to see my agents do anything.

[QUOTE=delta_43;17658479]How long does it take for my secret service to stage an accident? I set one on my campaign opponent, his wife, and several people voting for him and I have yet to see my agents do anything.[/QUOTE] It varies. I've seen it take a whole day before they did anything.

[QUOTE=Thom12255;17653082]I don't know how you can rate a post disagree when it isn't an opinion.[/QUOTE] It's just people saying "not in my opinion" which is perfectly reasonable. So the disagree is their opinion.

Eh, the first one was better.

I was bored so I decided to make a blog from the eyes of my character [url]http://lifeofelpresidente.blogspot.com/[/url] As you can see I suck at Tropico :saddowns:

i really should tell my friend Jasper to pick this up.. he was a really big fan of the two previous series

Why can't I play the damn demo?

this game has no replayability

Because of?

This game's amazing. I love going into sandbox mode and picking random island.

This game was very fun but got boring very fast. Lack of unique gameplay really brought down the replayability.
