    Trump thinks he’s playing Tropico and has no idea how the mechanics work.

      How dare you sully my memory of that gem of a game by associating it with Trump or suggesting a sequel was ever made.

        Well…I mean… Tropico 6 wasn’t great, but all the rest were really solid. Mobile version ain’t half bad either.

          I loathe the introduction of traffic into tropico - I believe only Tropico 1 avoided having road congestion mechanics and while (iirc) 6 minimized the effect of congestion unless things were drastically mismanaged I honestly miss the days when that wasn’t a factor. Managing road congestion makes it feel much more like any other city builder and some of them (3 iirc) have gone way fucking overboard with how problematic traffic gets.

          I loathe traffic and the necessity of cars in North America… I like building an economic utopia in Tropico and I’d like to minimize automobile usage outside commercial vehicles.

          None of the games have really felt as fun and thematic as the original and, imo, that’s due in a large part to forcing NA levels of car usage regardless of political alignment.
