Why is this game worth playing for the 6th time?

Did GRRM's presence notably improve the lore?

Should I buy this even though I couldn't beat it the first and second time I tried it?

Are Souls games RPGs?

Is saying git gud homophobic?

I went back to Tropico 4, the last one that retained any of the whole Caribbean island thing that it's supposed to be all about. It's a great game except way way too easy. Unless you're letting people starve to death they'll all love you and support you forever.

But then I notice in the map editor it lets you write some pretty complex scripts to do just about anything you could ever want to. So I'm going to make a lot of events, especially later in the game, where some people get pissed at you for no good reason and everyone has higher expectations. There's big parts of the game that I never even have to consider using like martial law, so I'm only playing half the game. So I'll put in an event where the army just imposes martial law on its own and you have to deal with all the negative consequences of it. The kind of challenge that leaders in third world shitholes have to face all the time.

I played Tropico 3(?) years ago, or maybe it was the first one. Loved it decades ago, but when I tried again, I got bored of setting prices at each building. Total pain in the butt. I used to start with getting favor with the Russians to get those cheap tenement buildings, then farm, chop wood, and mine while building an army (having Castro as the dictator was nice because soldiers didn't need a HS education). Pay them well, and you'll stay in power forever. I remember the carpentry factory netting me a loss because I'd have to pay for my own wood which was r-slurred, so my island never really industrialized.

I know what to do because I've been playing since the first one. :marseyboomer:

That's the last one I played too. I tried the more recent ones but idk there's something that feels off about them.

It's no fun when your island is too generic.

play workers and resources. It's very similar to tropico in terms of feeding=love, except that feeding people is a lot harder.

I've been trying. (That's what got me to play Tropico actually.) It's pretty fricking infuriating though. In order to find out why my electricity wasn't getting to the substation, I had to follow the whole route of the powerlines zoomed in really close. Finally I find it: I have two power poles that are so close together that they're overlapping so it looks like they're just one pole until you zoom in. These two poles were not connected to each other. Now that to me is beyond just having a bad UI, I consider that a bug that it allowed those poles to be built within 1m of each other, and probably another bug for them not connecting.

So I've been trying, but it's about as fun and easy as a vacation in the Soviet Union.

It's usually pretty good (often too good) at snapping objects to eachother. Poles don't auto connect at all though, like everything else in the game, the electrical network is based on continuous lines. My suspicion is that you attempted to connect lines of dissimilar rated wattages, because in those cases the game will straightforwardly prevent them from connecting. It's not at all like Tropico or simicty though, because nothing is made larger for improved visibility, so sometimes you really do have to zoom in to see what the problem is. While the game technically has a (very rough) 3d tri grid as its basis, that is only used for terrain, which does cause its own problems, and unless you turn on snap to grid, objects can be freely placed, though most buildings have some zone of clearance that you have to take into account (infrastructure does not). Random other infrastructure tips: the game averages the slope of infrastructure segments (including roads) over their total length. This has interesting implications, the first being that if there's a steep drop off, you will use significantly more gravel, as there's more digging that must be done. Secondly, in some situations, the game will allow you to smooth out roads across longer stretches which have some protuberance in the middle. Planning mode helps with a lot of infrastructure related pains, so I highly suggest using it.

Okay thanks. I'll give it another shot. I had no idea terrain worked that way. Or that planning mode existed.

  • sometimes you really do have to zoom in

  • snap to grid

  • road slope

  • planning mode
