Tropico 1, 2, and 3 - Games

I just got an email saying I made it into the beta :) DLing now.

I annoyed as many people as possible to get lots of rebels and would train up an awesome army. Good fun.

I could never get rebels, ever. Maybe I was just that good? And yes I had them turned on, in fact I had the option selected of "Your people have a long history of fleeing into the jungle and revolting at the slightest sign of trouble" or whatever it is.

Yeah I just started a new game. It was hard at first but I pissed everyone off and nobody likes me beside the military so there are always a few rebels against 20 soldiers.

Holy awesome, I didn't know they were making a third Tropico. I'm definitely looking forward to this. Oh, the many hours I spent ruling over my people with an iron fist, only to be killed in a coup d'etat.

i played tropico 1, it was ace... and yes, i did cheat.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned (or maybe someone did and I suck at reading) that Tropico 3 is coming to Steam.

holy shit i have seen this on sale EVERYWHERE in estonia and i always tough it was some crappy game by the looks of it oh how wrong i am

Hey, I remember this game! I played Tropico several years ago, it was awesome.

They have tropico, its expansion and tropico 2 on steam now for $15

Tropico 2 always crashes and the is bit laggy even with my new pc. Is that normal or what?

Sounds wierd, compatibility mode?

Don't know.

I installed the first tropico, the only thing that is choppy is the cutscenes thingies in the menu. [editline]11:35PM[/editline] Do you have tropico 1? Is there the same problems in that? [editline]11:36PM[/editline] Try running it in compatibility mode XP service pack 2 or 3.

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;16084172]My 6th grade science teacher played Tropico. I just remember him saying, "EL PRESIDENTE," all the time.[/QUOTE] Your teacher is awesome.

First Tropico is absolutely fine, everything works nice. But really Pirate Cove isn't that great I prefer the first one.

[i]All work and no play for El Presidente.[/i]

I just got Tropico 3 on Steam! Downloading now.

In the meantime Tropico 4 has been anounced and they released a few screenshots. [url]http://www.joystiq.com/screenshots/tropico-4/3258787/#/2[/url] It doesn't look much different from tropico 3 however.

oh hey my thread I guess I'll update OP with shameless copy paste

I bet the devs are working on rts elements.

Countless hours I have lost to playing Tropico 1 and 2, I just wish I had the third

Countless hours were lost playing Tropico. I never played Tropico 2 but the pirate theme doesn't really appeal to me with it. Haven't played Tropico 3 much, I checked it out on a friend's computer, twas fun, will probably pick it up sometime soon.

How does Tropico 3 play compared to the first one? It was only recently that I even found out there were sequels to it. :v:

Really starting to love it, even though I just played the tutorial. Also the music is awesome. [editline]26th December 2010[/editline] Well worth $4.50 for the Steam Sale.

[QUOTE=Onyx3173;26970762]How does Tropico 3 play compared to the first one?

It is a bit more easy than the prequels, but still quite complex. The graphics are absolutely great, like the music and the whole setting. It is a worthy sequel.

Let's hope they scale the difficulty a bit better. Tropico 3 is needlessly hard at times. Just got Absolute Power, re-installing it now.

They should focus on a new setting, Tropico 4 looks hardly different and I bet that there will not be much of a change. Maybe a futuristic setting or something during the medieval ages.

Tropico always takes place on tropic islands (the name is a hint, you know) and that works fine.
