Tropico 5 coming in a few days. Looks fine.by Last 04/21/2014, 10:57am PDT
I ended up putting a lot of time into Tropico 4 once I got the hang of it. I think it was possibly a little too easy? At least, you could figure out a build order that would pretty much always work. All challenges in the game could be solved by throwing money at them, so once you know how to develop a money river then that's that.
It did look pretty nice and had a lot of charm. I'll get Tropico 5 on release day and see what's new. For one thing the campaign in T5 starts in Pirate days and runs up through modern day, so that's interesting.
