If I have been going to steal the Eiffel Tower, I’d undoubtedly strap a large rocket to it and launch it into the sky. Once it was airborne, I’d remotely pilot it again to my volcano lair after which park it within the Monument Chamber subsequent to the Statue of Liberty (additionally rocket-propelled) and the Great Sphinx of Giza (trundles round on little wheels).
It’s not clear how El Presidente nicks the assorted monuments scattered round his archipelago nation in Tropico 6, however a brand new video reveals the Eiffel Tower standing in tropical climes, as clear as will be. You’ll have the ability to organise raids to steal them, we’re informed, however the greatest change is within the lay of the land. Rather than managing a single island, you’ll be connecting a number of islands collectively, which implies you’ll want new tech and transport infrastructure to maintain every little thing operating easily.
Tropico is beautiful, isn’t it? Like Cities: Skylines with some dodgy humour and a billion instances extra character. That doesn’t make it a greater sport than Colossal Order’s city-builder as a result of generally I would like one thing far more impartial, and Skylines suits the invoice marvelously, but it surely does make Tropico one of many few city administration video games that has one thing to supply aside from zoning, energy grid fiddling and the laying of pipe.
If you’ve missed out on all of the earlier video games, right here’s what it is advisable know: you’re El Presidente, a superbly legit not-dictator, and you have to rule your folks throughout 4 eras with an iron fist and a velvet glove. Butter them up, then lock them up if the butter provide runs out. But strive to not preserve loads of butter by sustaining commerce relationships with the superpowers of the world.
Here are a number of the new options:
“In Tropico 6 you manage extensive archipelagos, build bridges to connect your islands and use new means of transportation and infrastructure for the first time in the series. Send your Tropicans on raids to steal the wonders of the world, including the Statue of Liberty and the Eiffel Tower. Customize your palace at will and give election speeches from your balcony, to win the favour of your subjects.”
I believe it seems to be slightly good-looking and I’ll be seeing extra of it out at GDC subsequent week forward of its launch later this yr.
