It's the best way to make your citizens happy. Build commando garrison and intimidate your neighbours constantly. Max the budget and solve your power problems. In modern times use wind tourbines at higher ground (at least 80% efficiency). Import materials with pirate bay and use them to produce luxury items.
Plantations and ranches should be on max budget. Everything in multi culture or pasture prohibition.
Issue industrialisation or urban development to save some cash.Īll citizens vote, professional soldiers, freedom of religion (theocracy with no tourists), happy childhood, energy efficiency/economy first (both are good), true separation, love it or leave it, sponsored content, privacy rights (or security surveillance, if I have theocracy), single-payer system, traditional marriage, international trade partnership. Modern Times - if using tourism: Neuschwanstein Castle, if not: Temple of Heaven.Īgricultural subsidies (boosting my farms and ranches), literacy program, military police, right to arms (both work nicely with each other), food for the people, advanced boat services, employee of the month, mandatory waste sorting, good old days (if tourism is present), spelling bee, social security, speedway and light bulb ban (Build everything and then activate it). Colonial - Brandenburg Gate or Registan of Samarkand (preferred). Radio boosts entertainment if you buy an upgrade). Media (TV only works in houses with electricity, so make sure you cover as many of them as possible. Offices (always go for the one based on employed citizens) On the bottom side build shipyards and on the top build teamster's offices. THE MOST IMPORTANT BUILDING TO MAKE LOADS OF MONEY IS SHIPYARDS FROM WORLD WAR TO MODERN TIMES.ġ00% working tip to success: build a square near the shore, around the square put logging camps, inside the square build lumber mills, houses, entertainment and social buildings like churches or grocery stores. Once you have money just build more of these buildings. 1 steel mine, 1 coal mine, 1 nichel mine (or import nichel), 1 weapons factory (or chose clothing/fashion industy if you don't have easy access to mines). 4 logging camps, 3-4 lumber mills, 4 shipyards and 1-2 furniture factories. This is the blueprint to crash it on Tropico: You can also dismiss all the palace guards and block them and set the palace on minimum budget. No point in paying them for looking pretty and the dock functions just fine with only 1 worker. You can dismiss and block every worker but one from the dock. Use maximum budget on every building that makes you money, thats newspaper, industry, plantations, etc. and then you can you can switch it to saving tips mode for passive profit.
Build the library and research employee of the month as soon as possible! Also build the newspaper building if you can. and always pick the 10 colonists reward for them. It's fine to dismiss crown requests, they're not that important, but never dismiss the rebel requests if you can help it, at least until you get enough support to become independent.
plus they could be working and earning you money instead! Dismantle all entertainment buildings and the chapel, colonial age people can't vote so why waste money on their comfort. It takes less time to find another worker than to wait for the old one to return and you don't have to pay them for downtime! Dismiss workers from industry buildings from the right side(left side is usually new workers coming to work, so don't dismiss them if they're not at their posts unless you know for sure) if they're not at their jobs. It takes longer to set up and become profitable.
Rum is also good but only if you plan on staying in colonial age for longer. The best way to make money is toys and planks so forbid log imports and build logging camps and build a sawmill and toymaker right from the start. Your population is pretty limited in this age and there are better things they could be doing don't bother with plantations, they need a lot of workers and don't give good profit. build everything close together, houses dont need road access so you can just plop them down in the middle or behind other buildings.
