Tropico 3

why bother when you could play Tropico 4, which is this game but better?

TL;DR - Tropico 3 is a good game, but you should just buy Tropico 4. Ok, so my thumbs up here might be a bit misleading. This is a very fun game, and as such giving it a thumbs down feels a bit dishonest. But I don't think most people should actually buy this one for the sole reason that Tropico 4 makes it almost completely obsolete. Tropico 4's gameplay is practically Identical, and it uses 90% of the same assets. But it has significantly more content (more buildings, more islands, more edicts, more customization, especially with DLC), it runs better (getting this set up was a slight headache and it pretty much just doesn't work with Absolute Power), has better UI, more personality, and a better soundtrack. There are some differences with 3, the islands are different, the campaign and scenarios are different, some buildings and edicts have different costs, there aren't blueprints, there's no ministry. But those don't make up for all the things that 4 does better in my opinion.

It's RIDICULOUS, how complicated steam has made it to run this "game" and its DLC. As soon as you download the base game, and then proceed to download the DLC...EVERYTHING LOCKS UP!!!! FIX THIS!!!!!

absolutely wonderful, had a blast of time, but however the absolute power expansion is not working depsite so much effort. tthe main game istelf needed a few file editing with AI help, otherwise it itself would not opened

Challenging.
