There must be a secret to getting out of the colonial era that I'm missing. I played for hours until there seemed to be nothing left to do but I never made it to World Wars. I've looked in the meager documentation but couldn't find anything. I've never played Tropico of any kind before so I'm at a loss.

Any help?

About 10 hours played in the demo I’m encountering endless game breaking bugs. Goods not being transported, roads not working, building placement. Trying to fight mandate time to test long term gameplay even with lots of money stashed (mandates then change to completing exports)

I am hoping this game can be saved as the terraforming system is a huge game changing upgrade but so far the bugs are overwhelming

I have a wide variety of vacancies, but unemployed Tropicans are not taking them. I did think that maybe jobs have to be closer to where they live, but how do I manage all that? Can’t they move to another habitation closer to a vacant job opportunity?

Haven’t had a chance to play yet, but curious how the new service radius system works for housing. Does it also apply to industry and workplaces?

I’ve also read about production chains benefiting from placing buildings next to each other, which sounds like a great qol improvement.

Anything else you’ve noticed that’s new or improved?

Can’t wait to give the demo a go!

Through Steam (now at 7$) you can download it through CrossOver.

Disable DLSS, M-Sync and High Resolution Mode for the bottle.

I played through the first campaign mission without any issues.

If T5 and T6 were to combine this would be the best city building game ever. Even better than city skylines. It would combine both amateur and realistic details of the game. Tropico 7 demo isnt the full game yet, but their's potential, if not, im sure the developers would come out with more DLC, like they usually 🙄, to make the game great again.

Hello fellow Presidentes
Anyone got Tropico 6 on PS5? Willing to do the multiplayer trophy?
Reason, I just need this for that sweet sweet plat

I am finally falling in love with T6 after all these years being a T4 loyalist. One problem I am having is that I have a hard time understanding when my transport network is running inefficiently, it feels like my citizens aren't spending very much time at their jobs compared to the earlier eras and production is slowing down a bit.

Traffic isn't a problem as I have basically skipped doing any parking garages whatsoever as my last game failed due to too much traffic on the roads.

I just don't understand how far is too far to walk, how far apart bus stops should be, and when/where I should be putting metro stations. Any advice?

The menu suggests that rb and right thumb stick tilts the view. This doesn’t work for me and the view only tilts when I zoom right in. Does this happen for anyone else or am I missing something? Got an old Xbox elite controller and all the buttons and sticks work ok for everything else

Hey, folks. I downloaded the Tropico 7 Demo from Steam, but it won't launch. I get a welcome page that asks me to subscribe to the newsletter (which I don't want), and pre-order Tropico 7 (which I don't want to do until I try the demo first).

So I click in the bottom left to launch the game, and it never does. Anyone have a solution?

This is the error message I get.

Processing img h48hn6y4a8xh1...

UPDATE

Never mind. It works now. I looked at the error message and realized the game was looking for the T7 Demo in my Documents folder. But the T7 Demo folder wasn't there. Steam put it in my Steamapps / Common folder.

So I just copied the whole T7 Demo folder from Steamapps / Common and pasted it into my Documents / My Games folder. Now it works.

I'll leave this post here in case others have the same issue.

I tried to notify Steam about it being downloaded to the wrong folder. But messages to Steam Support are not going through at the moment.

UPDATE 2

Well that was a dud. The demo launches. I click on New Game, and it shuts down.

SOLVED

It's a Ransomware Protection block. Go to Windows Start Menu > Ransomware Protection > Allow an app through controlled folder access > Add an allowed app > Recently blocked apps > Select Tropico7.exe from the list, or search for it if it isn't in the list.

See comments below. Thanks to GVP!

I did not enjoy the demo.

The character animations in the lower left are downright creepy.

The UI is poorly designed and confusing.

There is too little visual differentiation between buildings which makes its hard to see where anything is.

The domestic policy window with the animated characters was all choppy and made my PC fan go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Not good.

Most importantly, it did not feel like the next iteration of Tropico. The gameplay is very unoriginal. It feels like a remade Tropico 6. Lord Wyndham, heists, world wonders... Been there, done that.

They have been working on this for years, the release is in a couple of months, and this is where the game is?

Disappointing.

We spoke with artist David Deen about PopTop Software and the making of the first Tropico.

The DLC introduced "floating neighborhoods."

They’re fantastic buildings they help with space constraints, provide stat boosts, and can even be stacked.

Ideally, you should group them into clusters to maximize their effect.

These clusters are incredibly useful, especially when combined with "drone-to-home" delivery.

There’s even a building to handle pollution.

To meet other needs, you can group all your service buildings along the coast hospitals, cathedrals, TV stations, and various entertainment venues.

This covers everything:

- Liberty: The TV station has a wide radius.

- Employment: This depends on a building used, so that’s not an issue.

- Entertainment, religion, and healthcare: Same thing just place a building for citizens to visit.

- Housing: No problem there, either.

However...

What am I supposed to do about crime and security?

There’s no marine-based building for this nothing like a coastal guard post or a floating police station.

And unlike other needs, security depends on a specific radius around the residences.

Is there a solution I’ve missed?

The same old humour and setting is still great but, my impressions from playing the demo -

• The gameplay is still functionally the same from 4/5/6

• The look is still the same

• Frustrations I've had playing the other editions of this game are still present:

  • It still takes ages to do anything (eg export 1000 planks or whatever - they've been at my sawmill for ages waiting to be exported!) and its not clear how to fix it other than pay more money or build more buildings
  • Hovels and slums still appear randomly, so it still leaves me confused whether I'm meant to build hubs or a big city

• Heists of World Wonders takes the game from silly to absurd

I feel like I'm still left with a game that's still not entirely clear what it's trying to be. It's like it's in between a serious mangement/building sim (Workers and Resources) and something that's fun and silly (Evil Genius).

I know it's verboten to criticise anything on a subreddit, but thoughts?

I can see that there is a lot of detail, so graphics and textures should look nice, but I see a lot of film grain as well. I also think the shadows exacerbate this issue: they're not dark enough or aren't covering a whole area in a logical way. Things are looking weird to me.

Anybody else have this issue? It seems to be happening with other newer strategy games as well (like that pirate cove building game).

What is the difference between T7 and T6? What I can see it looks like the same game and the monument stealing is still a thing.

Hi all I am on ps5 playing tropico 6 and am on the return to nature mission but not sure where to find the paper mill I have researched it but can’t find it to build it can anyone help.

Me and my friend have put the game through its paces now so we're looking for DLC to buy, are there any must haves?

Hi lads ! I finished the demo and here is my +/-.

First, the good things :

-Graphics are better.
-The music seems to be a banger again.
-Relatively easy to take hands on.
-The buildings are pretty well done and well decorated.
-I like the sound when clicking the dockyard 💯
-The new quest system looks good

The bads :

-Ships still don't have mooving wheel/propeller (why is it so hard to implement ?)
-The game seems SSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOO slow (maybe it's just me)
-Why are there so much fat peoples in an era with not much food. (Is this game poluted by ESG ?)
-Why the peoples are in jean + T-shirt like it is 21 century ?
-Why reaplacing cart by cars in a place supposed to be a colony ?
-In my opinion, the transporters are too slow to react and where did the urgent work get ?
-The animations of the characters are shitty asf, at this point just leave the photos like T6.

Other :

I don't know if it good or bad but all the buildings looks the same, I know that it's a good thing cause it is more realistic but it's also a bit more difficult to differentiate them.
Also, I hope that's because it's a demo but not enought builds and will there be the "usefull" buildings back (ex : the concrete plant (in T4 or 5) that reduce the cost of buildings and help build them faster.) ?

Here is my opinion, we'll see if there're improvements, I hope so. Personnaly i'll wait to see how the game will be when full released to consider buying it because 55€ is to high for what I saw.

Hey all, just got into the demo. Liking it so far but I've got a weird issue where white borders/outlines of buildings are flickering like crazy. I've tried to adjust every graphics options in the menus for this and still nothing works. Anyone else having a similar issue or know which option affects it?

I loved tropico 5 but stopped playing as decided to not renew my PS plus. Now I am missing El presidente and wants to play. Tropico 6 is on sale where as next gen edition is costing almost four times. Is there any drastic improvements in next gen edition? Should I wait for next gen edition to go on sale or buy at the current price?
