Music in T6 feels like some last-minute low-effort sugar-coating compared to the research that went into the tracks of the previous iterations. T6's transportation systems can and should have been much more than what they currently are. I think speeches and visiting buildings still have a purpose in T6, maybe not with the same intensity than in T4, since winning elections is much easier. The supermarkets and warehouses in Tropico 6 really need to be reworked and don't seem logical in how the teamsters deliver items, supermarkets just become a drain on your economy instead of a means to expand it.ДЇucking dispicable me childish stealing of monuments instead of building unique ones, at least as an option, seriously whoever green lit that idea should have been fired. Tropico 6 suffers severe framerate issues once you start building wind farms and that pretty much ends the game for me right as the modern era gets started. Uprisings in Tropico 6 are negligible, I never once have lost a game due to being overthrow, which I am not sure of it is just because of how much easier Tropico 6 is or if I am just more experienced now In Tropico 6 you can just ignore your advisors pretty much the whole game after the Colonial Era and suffer no consequences PenГєltimo and the rest of the cast were more relevant and added more humor to the campaign in Tropico 4 IMO, but it could just be me, seems like the adult themes and jokes really got toned down in 5 & 6 to make the games more kid friendly and with that went the interesting roles of your advisors.

Soundtrack is the best of any in the series IMO Tropico 4 was the last one where transportation bottlenecks actually impact the economy and can bankrupt you if you don't plan properly or redo sections as you go if you set it up poorly or have to adapt later, Tropico 5 & 6 seem to ignore the impact that bottlenecks have on a supply chain, or at least understate the importance of a logical and efficient network I am always curious about opinions of other players more experienced than me, and I might have missed something.Д®l Presidente actually has a purpose in Tropico 4, the public speeches and vising buildings and promises delivered/ignored actually have an impact. Thank you for your time reading up to this point, and maybe even replying. What I'm missing in the 6 are better graphical performances (I have a good machine, and the game shouldn't use that much GPU power, which smells like poor optimization to me), better 'El Presidente' customizations/traits, Tropiceans being more expressive (and why not rebellious) in their thoughts, but most importantly a good campaign (and not that mish/mash of DLC missions we got). Finally, the UI is just so much more convenient : unlike the 4, farms have obvious delimiters, I can easily spot bottlenecks when zooming out, better filters for resources, a better almanac, etc. I also like the pirates feature, bringing in new citizens or blueprints when I need them. While I do acknowledge that the latest iteration of the game is too easy (at least in sandbox), I thought it introduced some *really* good gameplay upgrades, especially regarding the trading. I can understand and respect that range of tastes are wide and varied among players. Now I still would like to understand what some people seem to prefer in Tropico 4 over the 6. At least I don't have to deal with those in Tropico 6. I hate random events that the player has no agency over with burning passion.

What eventually made me uninstall the game was a tornado that hit my main town, with all of its housing that I painfully had spent hours building. My impression after playing it for a decent time was that Tropico 4 also becomes 'easy' once you manage to set up a couple of industries, especially wood logging (and ignore the terrible advice the game provides about 'recommended buildings', or the weird/impossible missions asking you trade chemicals right at the start of the game, for example). I finally made up mind to almost always use 'quick build' once I got the cash flow coming in. I felt my builders were useless since they appeared to be constantly busy, even when I set my build order to 'urgent' (and yes, I know about 'needs', and having to build a proper transportation network).

Unfortunately I found it even less appealing than the 6, since it's much too slow to my taste. So I thought I'd give Tropico 4 a try, since people here keep praising it. On the other hand, I also found it discouragingly easy even on higher difficulty settings once I got my transportation network up and running : no rebellions, no real antagonisms with external powers and finally no real background campaign/story that kept me going like in Tropico 3 (which is still my favourite iteration to this day). I've been playing Tropico 6 recently, and on the bright side I enjoyed it quite a lot.
