Tropico 3 should include unique award buildings for achieving certain feats, that way when people came to visit your island they would learn of your triumphs.

Some sort of award system with achievements would be nice.

Then again an achieving something by getting an achievement sounds overdone..

How about a 1 time building. for example, if you get 100% relations from the military faction, you can get a unique building (looks like a serious fortress) that acts as a prison and a place where 1 general (only 1 general can be employed) recruits 9 extra soldiers.

or if your 100% relation with capitalists you can get a building that acts as a industy building but can produce anything you want. you can have a factory that only makes 2 of any type of resource, cigars and furniture stuff like that.

I think it would be a really good idea having achievements, but not in the sense that you put it in.

There are all ready achievements in the game.

Of course but I think he was saying achievement buildings. A very interesting idea indeed. Would be very awesome to see this implemented in the future.

Good idea! Some sort of an unlocks system would be sort of nice and would keep you coming back for more. Maybe in an expansion?

I also agree with this idea. Similar to what they did with The Sims & SimCity, for example you have at the start everything you need to do everything (to survive/succeed) but for excelling you get a little bonus, say a power station that is super powerful, or a farm that produces 10x the norm, etc.

Yea something like a mega farm that can produce more then one crop at once...maybe 2-3 crops at once?

For military could be something like Elite Guard or Special Forces...something like that..heck maybe they could be able to engage the rebels at your command but on the other hand that would kind of hit a brick wall if we are trying to stay true to the classic Tropico. Although we could just due a mega guard station that houses about 8-10 soldiers...would be pretty cool.

Heck they could even add a mega dock with two docks for freighters which would bring in more immigrants and be able to export more if you have a good amount of resources.

For Health they could have a major hospital with a helicopter or ambulances basically an advanced medical center.
For industries we could probably due two things.

1.Make a major factory that can either have a much bigger output then a regular factory..also you can set it to what you wish to manufacture(as far as stuff that you cna manufacture on tropico goes....

or

2. I guess you could make it produce and also manufacture the goods at the same time. The closest thing to this would be a fishing factory which is a boat that catches fish and then turns em into fishy sticks hehe.


For Government I guess you could build a combined immigration and diplomacy office together...I really don't know about this one but hey feel free to add on with government ideas....

Oh yeah another I came up with is to build a large police station basically just a advanced police station with lots of officers. I'm sure that this would satisfy the tourist.

I'll add more if I come up with anything else.

Edit: I also wanted to add that if you think about it you can add on many different bonus decorations or something in that manner with different effects would be interesting and give us some goals to strive for.

It seems like without a decent number of hard to get bonus items everyones islands will look the same, so I would hope that these structures look nice and really stand out.

I like the way it's done in Anno 1404. You earn what they call Gems for certain achievements, then you can spend those gems on certain additional decorative buildings. Something like that could certainly work in T3 if implemented I would think.

there are already buildings with requirements [power and prison] and as far as i can see it there is no need to further limit the player with arbitrary requirements for bonus buildings.

the only point of bonus buildings is to have additional things on your island to help make it different from other islands you visit.
