It's been a while mates, and I am a bit rusty. This was announced a while ago, but I just ran across this today and had to share it! Kalypso Media is at it again with Tropico 5! I might have passed on this one at first, then I saw the new teaser trailer below and just had to share it!




According to their web site :


Packed with a whole host of new gameplay features and all new artwork designed from scratch, Tropico 5 takes the series into a new and exciting direction – dynasties!

You, as El Presidente, will first take control of the infamous island of Tropico during early colonial times and then guide it through the centuries as the world changes and moves ever forward. You must tackle the changing needs of your people, as well as opposing governments and factions, and thus lay the foundations for your own dynasty. As you move through your years in office you can promote members of your extended family on the island to positions of power: such as ambassador, commanding general or even Supreme Ruler, to ensure your legacy thrives through the eras. As your influence and wealth grows, so do the threats to your burgeoning island superpower. Can you survive both World Wars, prosper through the Great Depression, rule as an iron-fisted dictator through the Cold War and advance your country to modern times and beyond? From the 19th to the 21st century, each era carries its own challenges and opportunities.

As well as a wealth of other new features, including advanced trading mechanics, technology, scientific research trees and island exploration, Tropico 5 will add cooperative and competitive multiplayer for up to four players for the first time in the series’ history! Viva El Presidente!

Features of Tropico 5

  • The Eras - From the 19th century to the 21st, each era carries its own challenges and opportunities. Begin your reign during colonial times and advance your nation through the modern era and into the future!

  • The Dynasty – Each member of El Presidente’s extended family is present on the island and may be appointed to key leadership positions, earning skills and experience in their assigned roles.

  • Research and Renovate - Advance your nation by discovering new buildings, technologies and resources. Transform your old buildings into modernized, hyper-efficient designs worthy of an economic superpower!

  • Advanced trade system and trade fleet - Amass a global trade fleet and use your ships to secure import/export trade routes to neighbouring islands and key nations.

  • Explore your island - Discover what lies beyond the fog of war. Send prospectors to look for new mineral and ore deposits, but be wary of hostile animals and native tribes.

  • All new art - All artwork is reworked to provide Tropico 5 with a distinct historic visual identity. Choose from over 100 unique buildings from each of the individual eras.

  • Cooperative and competitive multiplayer – Up to four players can build up their own cities and economies on any given island map. Players can share resources and citizens, or declare war on each other.



They are running a Beta program, but I am not sure how long that is going to last. If your interested you can sign up for the Beta HERE!

I can't watch the video right now, but that sounds very intriguing. I'd never heard of that series before.

(We haven't been able to find any news without you here. :p)

Well from what I have seen so far mate, you all were doing much more important things than looking up boring news!

I did play the original a bit back when it was first released, and it was really quite a fun game. I haven't played any of the sequels though.
 
Well this news doesn't sound boring. The games sound interesting, based on that description, and I might give one of the already released games in the series a go.
 
Tropico has come a loooooong way from the original. Honestly not much difference between 3 and 4 just a few buildings, but this. This is just genius! The trailer and the concept, just what the series needed! To escape the cold war And play around elsewhere! The family concept also greatly intrigues me.
 
Thag! Nice to see you around again.
 
Thanks Keith, good to see you as well mate!
