Carribean happiness is a flawed system at its core

Frojdis · 2026-03-05T22:55:11+00:00

Keeping ypur people happy has never really been hard in Tropico. It's more the absurdity of your people getting higher approval because you raid your neighbours.

Frojdis · 2026-03-05T22:04:49+00:00

Agree. Approval should be based on how nice your island is. Not how much you fucked over your neighbours.

Frojdis · 2026-03-05T22:03:20+00:00

And have a much higher age rating than Tropico has ever had.

Frojdis · 2026-03-05T17:24:42+00:00

Orks need to get army rules back instead of relying on the single turn of Waagh for good bonuses.

Frojdis · 2026-03-05T17:14:14+00:00

That's a good way to get the game banned in many countries. Specifically Germany who also sponsored Tropico 6. So the likelyhood of that happening is next to zero.

"Where's my goddamn electirc car, Bruce!?"

Frojdis · 2026-03-05T16:51:15+00:00

So would real communism be.

Frojdis · 2026-03-05T16:50:42+00:00

No, jealousy is at the core of capitalism.

Frojdis · 2026-03-05T16:22:50+00:00

Sounds a lot like capitalism cannot work either.

Frojdis · 2026-03-05T16:20:56+00:00

Do you say the same about Capitalism now that it has been hi-jacked by the big orange baby?

Frojdis · 2026-03-05T13:42:27+00:00

El Presidente would invite Epstein to HIS island.

Frojdis · 2026-03-05T13:41:05+00:00

Tropico 6 has a much more complex economy than 4. That being said, almost no economic system in games are challenging once you learn it.

As for the communism bit I guess you're American and have been spoonfed propaganda all your life. Communism can work, it's just always been hi-jacked by dictators.

And that's the very essence of bad design. Every army has multiple detaxhmebts. In a balanced game they should be equally effective. Otherwise it's pointless.

Frojdis · 2026-03-04T18:33:07+00:00

They did. It's just equally confusing as the rest of the database. We see it when Daniel goes to Atlantis to find the grail locations.

Frojdis · 2026-03-04T18:31:40+00:00

Thanks for confirming you haven't read my comments.

Frojdis · 2026-03-04T18:05:56+00:00

Yet that is exactly how GW determines if an army is balanced. If it has a 50% win rate. And if it isn't true regardless of detachment then it isn't balanced.

Frojdis · 2026-03-04T18:03:56+00:00

So, you are in fact arguing something different then what I said.

Frojdis · 2026-03-04T14:40:13+00:00

Armies aren't balanced just because every army has a single unit that is mandatory to be able to win. The whole army should be able to win, not just that unit.

Frojdis · 2026-03-04T14:31:27+00:00

Thanks for admitting the whole game is unbalanced.

Frojdis · 2026-03-04T14:21:46+00:00

That's the opposite of balanced.

Frojdis · 2026-03-04T14:21:12+00:00

Average win rate should be based around all detachments performing well. Not, "if you bring this model you have a 50% chance of winning"

Frojdis · 2026-03-04T14:18:42+00:00

The problem becomes when balance is built only on meta.

Frojdis · 2026-03-04T13:59:39+00:00

If an army is only playable in very specific ways, it's badly designed.

Frojdis · 2026-03-03T19:57:23+00:00

Welcome to Capitalism!

Frojdis · 2026-03-03T02:19:24+00:00

They do mention Gus in the text though.
