Tropico Manual - Table Of Contents
Tropico Manual - Chapter One CHAPTER ONE LETTER OF INTRODUCTION "Ambition is so powerful a passion in the human breast, that however high we reach we are never satisfied." Nicolo Machiavelli December 17, 1949 Desk of the President Tropico Palace 1 Palace Plaza St. Tropico Señor Presidenté, The former Presidenté Ramirez Zepata requested a compilation of informative reports on the state of Tropico at the start of his regime.
Tropico Manual - Chapter One Quick Start Guide. These will help you straight into Tropico without reading the rest of this handbook, though of course the handbook contains a much fuller explanation of Tropico. My Presidenté, many who have held this office before you have failed, but I see great promise in you. Stand strong, and you may become one of the greatest leaders in our history. Fail, and you will stand alone, without friend or family, a speck in the ocean of history... and no one will care.
Tropico Manual - Chapter Two CHAPTER TWO TUTORIAL AND QUICK START "Dictators ride to and fro upon tigers which they dare not dismount. And the tigers are getting hungry." Sir Winston Churchill Welcome to your Office, My Ruler. I hope you enjoy the view. Remember that as you look down on your people, they also look up to you.
Tropico Manual - Chapter Two ● ● ● your palace and on flat land, if possible. Building on flat land means less grading needs to be done and you'll get your fine new tenement building faster. Press G on your keyboard to see a mesh overlay of the land to help you select a good, flat location. Press G again to turn off the mesh. The game begins to get more open-ended at this point, but I always like to build a second Construction Building about now.
Tropico Manual - Chapter Three CHAPTER THREE STARTING A GAME "It is true that liberty is precious- so precious that it must be rationed" Lenin Starting a new game Your rapid understanding is most impressive! Now you are ready to start a new full-fledged regime from scratch. Press the 'Game' option, and you will be taken to a large (and should I mention hand-made?) tapestry hanging on the wall. Your reign as Presidenté will begin with this tapestry, so please familiarize yourself with it.
Tropico Manual - Chapter Three produce more and demand less economically, and it is generally easier to make a profit. At lower political difficulty settings, your political 'honeymoon' will last longer, and overall, your people will be less inclined to revolt against you and more inclined to vote for you, should you have free elections.
Tropico Manual - Chapter Three choosing 'View/Edit Dossier'. Editing the Dossier: If you choose to edit the dossier, there are five pages you must inspect and select from. I know, paperwork, bah! Even El Tigres such as you must resign yourself to shuffling papers now and then. They don't teach you this in Presidenté School, but power flows from stacks of paper as well as the barrel of a gun.
Tropico Manual - Chapter Four CHAPTER FOUR GAME INTERFACE "War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength." George Orwell Every ruler must have a good understanding of how to exert his control upon the will of the people, though we suggest you place valises full of yanqui dollars at strategic exit points in case the peasants are undeserving of your wisdom. You influence the Tropicans through the interface, of course. The following document serves to record the functions of the interface.
Tropico Manual - Chapter Four INFO BAR The information bar sits at the bottom of the screen, displaying text as the cursor moves over certain items, such as a person, a building, or virtually any item on the interface. The Info Bar will also sometimes tell you that an item can be clicked on for more information. For example, when the cursor is over the Date in the Circle Window, the Info Bar informs you that you may click on the Date to open the Almanac.
Tropico Manual - Chapter Four The large round window is a flexible window, whose contents change based upon what action you are taking. For instance, when a person is selected, the Circle Window monitors their movements around the island. Speed Control The rate at which time passes on the island is controlled with the six vertical bars to the bottom right of the Circle Window. The bars become green to reflect the current speed and can be clicked on directly to change the speed.
Tropico Manual - Chapter Four another, hit the ESC key. Building Mode Building Mode is used to order the construction of buildings, roads, statues, and ornamental plants, as well as to bulldoze an existing structure. When you enter this mode, a row of ten Subgroup Tabs appears across the top of the Central Control Panel. These tabs represent the subgroups that the buildings are organized into. The buildings of the currently selected subgroup are shown in a grid of panels below the Subgroup Tabs.
Tropico Manual - Chapter Four Info Mode A tremendous amount of information is available, covering soil quality, mineral resources, crime, pollution, religious sentiment, building profitability, feelings of liberty, job happiness and much, much more. Select Info Mode, and again, you'll be presented with five Subgroup Tabs, each of which has a set of icons below that you can select for different types of information.
Tropico Manual - Chapter Four of the list items on this page. You can toggle the chart lines on and off by clicking on the appropriate boxes. We've tried to color code each line. People section: The People section provides a nice overview of the lives of your citizens. However, for greater detail, we've linked many of the items on the page directly to the Lists section. Politics section: There are several important features in the Politics section.
Tropico Manual - Chapter Five CHAPTER FIVE PEOPLE "You only have power over people as long as you don't take everything from them. But when you've robbed a man of everything, he's no longer in your power- he's free again." Alexander Solzhenitsyn My Presidenté, although you are a most magnificent leader, the true power on Tropico lies with the people. If you should lose their favor, you will most likely lose your power as well.
Tropico Manual - Chapter Five Overview The basic information about an individual, including their current needs. The 5 bars on the right (Hunger, Rest, Religion Need, Entertainment Need, Health Care Need), indicate the citizen's current need for those services. When a person has just completed a good night's sleep, their rest bar will be completely full and green.
Tropico Manual - Chapter Five ● ● Religion: My Presidenté, your citizens vary widely in their level of religious piety. For some citizens, religion is paramount in their lives, and a lack of an adequate worship facility will quickly lead to unrest. Others will only attend church if there's a hot bingo game going on. To serve your people's religious needs, build a church or a cathedral.
Tropico Manual - Chapter Five TITLE: President of Spain REIGN: 1936-1973 RISE to POWER: Joined the military uprising that precipitated the Spanish civil war. He took command of the most powerful segment of the Spanish army, and become head of the insurgent government in 1936. ONE PARTY: Merged all the Nationalist political parties with the Falange, assuming leadership of the new party. TIGHT REIGN: Dealt ruthlessly with his opposition and established a firmly controlled corporative state.
Tropico Manual - Chapter Five happiness high, necessarily, and you can't please everyone. You do need to keep this balanced with your military power, however, or everything will come toppling down. And as a word of warning, if the military IS the unhappy group, you'll have a real problem on your hands- a coup d'etat. Unhappy citizens who feel they have no other choice may sneak off and join a rebellion, or may trigger a sudden street uprising.
Tropico Manual - Chapter Five Workers earn skill in their occupations. Highly skilled workers produce more, work faster, serve customers better and are all-around better at what they do. The longer they work in a job, the more skill they develop. More intelligent workers become skilled more quickly, and can achieve a higher overall skill level. Also, only the more intelligent workers can master the intricacies of high school and college.
Tropico Manual - Chapter Five shantytowns). Attractions visited This panel shows the attractions already visited by this tourist, along with a satisfaction score the tourist gave that location. Tourists will visit both tourist-only attractions (i.e. spa, beach site), and general entertainment buildings that locals might also visit (pub, casino, sports complex). A tourist bases their rating of an attraction on a number of things: Most important is the quality of service at a facility.
Tropico Manual - Chapter Six CHAPTER SIX BUILDINGS "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power tends to corrupt absolutely." Lord Acton My Presidenté, I hope you brought your hardhat. Building construction will take up a large portion of the conscientious Grand Administrator's time, as will subsequent building administration, requiring a thorough understanding of the complexities and vagaries of building construction and administration.
Tropico Manual - Chapter Six developed into a tourist attraction. Entertainment Everyone likes to be entertained, and most are willing to pay (and make you money) in order to obtain that entertainment. All buildings in this group can be used by locals OR tourists. Infrastructure Certain buildings are required for the building and maintenance of the rest for the island. Roads allow faster walking and goods hauling.
Tropico Manual - Chapter Six others are ornamental only, planted at full size and do not age. Bulldozing The final subgroup also contains a panel for bulldozing. Select the bulldoze panel, showing a pile of rubble, then click on a building in the main window. The selected building will become a bright red and construction workers will come by to tear the structure down.
Tropico Manual - Chapter Six "Flat sites are better." The slope of the land in a site is important to whether a building should be developed there. Laborers will attempt to level the ground in order to create a proper plot of land on which to lay a foundation. This causes a delay in construction, adding time to the overall project. A flat site will allow for much more expedient construction.
Tropico Manual - Chapter Six BUILDING ADMINISTRATION After construction is completed, the President must accept the duty of administration of that building. This may at first appear easy since a selected building's information panel in the Central Control Panel does not contain any tab buttons. All information for a building is contained on a single panel. However, this panel includes a variety of controls, and the amount of control changes from building to building.
Tropico Manual - Chapter Six ● all wages in that education class to the same wage. Employee Education Level: If a facility requires employees to be high school or college educated, there will be a mortarboard icon to the left of the silhouettes. A blue mortarboard icon represents high school education, and a green mortarboard represents a college education.
Tropico Manual - Chapter Six cannot be expelled from a service facility. [Shift] clicking a fee sets the fees of all buildings of the same type to that fee level. Building Upgrades: Quite a few buildings can be upgraded. When this is the case, the upgrade window(s) will be set in the top of the building control panel. They will be dimmed out prior to upgrading, with a hammer button in the corner of each panel.
Tropico Manual - Chapter Seven CHAPTER SEVEN ECONOMICS "I get so tired listening to one million dollars here, one million dollars there; it's so petty.
Tropico Manual - Chapter Seven TITLE: Ruler of Portugal REIGN: 1929-1970 RISE to POWER: A military junta seized control of the government and installed Salazar in the position of Finance Minister, with extraordinary powers of control. FACTION SUPPORT: Military approval and a strong relationship with the church guaranteed Salazar one of the longest running personal dictatorships in the 20th Century.
Tropico Manual - Chapter Seven ● Cigar Factory - Converts tobacco into cigars. TOURISM Presidenté, some of our brother nations here in the Caribbean frown on tourism - viewing it as subservience to Yanqui fat cats. But however you label it, tourism can be the most lucrative industry on the island, and for the most part, you don't even need a particularly educated population.
Tropico Manual - Chapter Seven facilitating the sale of restricted U.S. technology to Soviet bloc countries and selling arms to Cuban-backed guerrillas in Latin America. JUSTICE SERVED: Convicted in 1992 in a U.S. federal court of cocaine trafficking, racketeering, and money laundering. FOREIGN AID My Presidenté, you may be amazed to know that wealthier nations are often inclined to simply give money to Tropico in the form of foreign aid. Sometimes, this is driven by their humanitarian natures.
Tropico Manual - Chapter Seven TITLE: Ruler of Nicaragua REIGN: 1936-1956 RISE to POWER: Placed at the head of a newly formed National Guard, which was created by occupying US Marines. FINANCIAL GENIUS: Starting off with a salary of $700 a month as head of the National Guard, he managed to raise his personal fortune to $100 million in almost 20 years. UNUSUAL COMMERCE: Owned numerous blood banks that bought blood from the destitute lowerclasses, only to sell it abroad at a huge mark-up.
Tropico Manual - Chapter Eight CHAPTER EIGHT POLITICS "Political power grows from the barrel of a gun." Chairman Mao Zedong Economics, construction, tourism… all child's play compared to the slippery realm of politics. At the end of the day, what matters is staying power, and that depends solely on your ability to control the people. Love, fear… all that matters is the control. And to control all sides at once, you will have to keep up a very delicate juggling act.
Tropico Manual - Chapter Eight TITLE: Emporer of Central Africa Republic REIGN: 1966-1979 RISE to POWER: Was appointed to head of armed forces by country's president David Dacko, his cousin. COUP D' ETAT: Used position as supreme military commander to overthrow Dacko and anoint himself president. ROYALTY: Named himself emporer, spending $20 million on a lavish crowning ceremony.
Tropico Manual - Chapter Eight But the real danger, My Presidenté, is if the rebels should become so strong that they can boldly march into town and attack your magnifico palace. If they should win such a battle, you will have to make a rapid exit from Tropico. To avoid such an unpleasant ending, keep your people happy and hold free elections, so that they feel no need to become rebels. If that fails, have plenty of soldiers to defend the island.
Tropico Manual - Chapter Eight immediate riots. With less tradition of democracy here on Tropico, you have more flexibility - and the lower the expectations, the less the reaction will be if elections are canceled or perhaps, are less than fully honest. When the time comes to hold an election, the people will let you know by way of an official letter, which you are expected to respond to with a refusal or acceptance of the proposed election.
Tropico Manual - Chapter Eight TITLE: President of Romania REIGN: 1974-1989 RISE to POWER: Climbed through the ranks of the communist party, eventually being elected to newly created post of president. RIGID CONTROL: His secret police maintained rigid control over free speech and the media and tolerated no internal dissent or opposition.
Tropico Manual - Chapter Eight Coup d'Etat Yes, your own military could turn on you. It's hard to protect yourself from your own military forces, so this is one consequence you want to avoid. You won't be left defenseless; in a coup, the military will split into two groups, those who support you and those who want you out of power. The two sides will fight, and you'll watch as the fate of your regime is decided.
Tropico Manual - Chapter Nine CHAPTER NINE STRATEGIES "Leadership is a powerful combination of strategy and character. But, if you must do without one, do without the strategy." General Norman Schwartzkopf My Presidenté, far be it from me to suggest that I might perhaps know better than you how to rule Tropico, but perhaps I might offer a few suggestions: (Really, you're doing a great job, I think you're wonderful and would never question any of your decisions.
Tropico Manual - Chapter Nine with renewed revolutionary vigor, Mao launched the Great Leap Forward. The program was a failure, an estimated 20 million people starved, and he withdrew temporarily from public view. Basic social services Once you've got a steady stream of revenue, you'll want to rapidly put in place at least the basic social services some decent housing, a church, a pub, and, when you can afford it, a health clinic. Consider building a high school to start training your workers.
Tropico Manual - Chapter Nine TITLE: President of Argentina REIGN: 1946-1955 RISE to POWER: Won the allegiance of Argentine workers, who became the backbone of his support. He was elected president by a huge majority in 1946. POLITICAL POLICY: His political program was strongly nationalistic, anti-imperialist and antiUnited States. In power, he became increasingly authoritarian: opponents were jailed, the press was muzzled and education was strictly controlled.
