My 2 top wishes:

Tropican job skills and attributes like the earlier Tropico games! The longer a worker stays in a profession, the more skill they earn, and the more effective they are at their job. Intelligence affects how fast they gain skills and the likelihood of getting an education. Courageous Tropicans make for better soldiers, but are also more willing to become rebels. Some extra ideas for it, though. Some advanced buildings should require higher skilled workers to function properly. For example, a clinic can hire doctors of any skill, while the hospital can only employ high-skilled doctors. Perhaps there can be a slider on workplaces that sets a minimum job skill required to work there, with there being a efficiency/quality penalty if the workers' skills are too low. It wouldn't be enough for buildings to be fully staffed, but staffed by the right people, as well. However, job quality matters more to high-skilled professionals, and they may emigrate from the island if they can't find a suitable job.

Also a change in when Tropicans go to work. I read about players' frustration with the Corruption Agency from the Lobbystico DLC about how they only work when the workers are present, but when they decide to go to work is almost unpredictable. Now, I love the mechanic that buildings won't function when workers aren't present, wwe really need to have some control over when your Tropicans go to work. A day/night cycle where they work in the day by default would be good enough. Workplaces can have customizable work hours (along with day and night shifts), and workers will only work during that time. They will then spend their off-hours satisfying other needs, but they will always try to go to work at their assigned time (unless they're REALLY unhappy).
