Is there currently any downloadable instructions on how to use the editor that explains all of the functions available and instructions on how to properly use it?

From what little I have seen on the forum, I understand that there used to be one for Tropico 1. I was just wondering if there documentation on the Editor used in Tropico 3.

Thanks for any information you have on this.

Two married citizens take up half as much housing as two single citizens, so it's to your advantage to create as many opportunities as possible for your citizens to marry each other. In more than one game, I've been cruising along towards the end, and enacted same-sex marriage, and within two years I have empty apartment buildings all over the island because everyone's gone and moved in with a "roommate and very special friend". Wink

Incidentally, on the subject, has anyone observed gay couples actually having children? I've seen gay couples with children, but this can easily be explained. (The children might be from one of their former--heterosexual--relationships.) I'm wondering if the game ever creates children for gay couples (in which case they're adopted) or if they can only come from heterosexual marriages.

I'm pretty sure all Tropicans aren't fully bisexual (again, the phenomenon of my housing emptying out seems to happen quite quickly and suddenly, so it seems like a lot of single Tropicans were waiting for the opportunity to get gay-married to each other), but I'm curious about how others think the game sorts this out.]]>

How do I get more people? I can't get enough employees and right now it is static at 508 citizens.
So ive decided that the xbox version must just max out at 508 citizens. I pay every single employee maximum salary, have more housing than people, more jobs than people, have over 2 million $$ nos, a tourist rating of 80 and 100 from every group but the nationalists which is 90.

If there is some other way to raise the population I don't know. Sucks because I can't run my island with this lack of people.]]>

Dafür ein Riesen Lob. Sowas gibt es nur noch selten und war mir Persönlich nur noch von Ikarion bekannt.

Nun habe ich aber eine Frage, und zwar wann das Spiel über Steam zu erhalten ist ? Ich Frage ausdem Grund da wir das Spiel Hauptsächlich im Multiplayerspielen wollen und uns alle daher noch kein Laden Spiel gekauft haben.

Habt ihr dort schon geneu Infos ?`Wurde schon alles umgesetzt für einen Steam start ?

Dann würde ich gerne wissen ob es sich um einen reinen LAN Modus handelt, sprich, können wir das Spiel auch auf einer LAN (ja sowas gibt es noch bei uns Wink ) spielen ohne mit eurem Server verbunden zu sein ?

Natürlich sind heutzutage alles Spiele von ihren Verkaufszahlen abhängig. Auch wenn ihr wohl keine genauen nennen werdet, wurde das Soll in der erste Woche erreich ? Das würd ich nur rein Informativ wissen wollen

The sun is shining bright, and it is a perfect day for talking about the latest Tropico 3 expansion "Absolute Power"

This thread is intended to be a large repository for suggestions pertaining to the new expansion based on "what we know so far." This is the place to go to either applaud changes being made in the expansion, suggest additional improvements, or to lament over things that are apparently being left out. According to Timo:

If for some reason you missed the original post regarding the expansion... it is here:

Tropico 3 "Absolute Power" Announced

So... let the ranting and raving begin!
I will start with my kudos and lamentations from the expansion announcement thread...

(09-03-2010 04:05 PM)FritoPatata Wrote:  Alright, time for me to weigh in on what I see regarding the expansion announcement.

Things I Like:
  1. I like the Wind Turbines I saw in one of the screen shots. It is nice to see that we will be provided a "greener" option for power plants. Also, these wind turbines I'm sure will have a smaller footprint, allowing for easier placement on islands. Right now on large islands with limited space, finding a place to put a big hulking power plant is a problem. Glad to see it addressed.
  2. I like that it seems entertainment options are being expanded, perhaps we will be able to set something as being intended for tourists vs. tropicans? That would be REALLY nice to see, so that our populations do not do so much mingling.
  3. Landmarks. Awesome. This is something that has been missing, something to add a unique flavor to an island.
  4. I am excited at the prospects of what looks like expansion to the military side of the game... I see in the screenshots large Satellite dishes, which i am assuming are there as military satellite receivers? Also, that missile silo intrigues me.
  5. I applaud the addition of a second road type to add some variety and give something more appropriate for the rural areas of the island.

Things I DON'T Like:
Most of this list will deal with things that I feel are missing from this expansion that should have been added (or just have not been revealed yet)
  1. In the expansion, you are including a lower capacity gravel road, as well as smaller garages (which I assume will also have lower capacity). What about higher capacity roads? We really could use some more expensive but higher capacity options to help with the gridlock current players are facing on their larger islands. Avenues would have been nice. They could take up more space, but have 2 travel lanes on each side, as well as maybe a turning lane in the middle. I feel this is a huge oversight.
  2. Helipads. Something that should have been added a long time ago. Either for tourism purposes, or for the rich to get around. What good is having a beautiful island, if you can't make tourists pay out the ass to fly around it and check it out.
  3. Adding a faction to sandbox modes as "prevalent" is nice. But how about the ability to make one a "minority"? It would certainly make for more interesting scenario options if say we could lead a capitalist island where communism has little to no pull. Also, it isn't clear if we will be able to select the prevalent faction or if it is randomly assigned.


Just my two cents.

Also, I would like to note this interesting reply from Timo:

Please note that there are still things we haven't reveiled about "Absolute Power". Also note how I quoted this particular paragraph. ^^

This seems to let on that... We might be getting Helipads! Which makes me very happy indeed. It also could just mean that there will be some sort of air tourism provided for tourists who wish to pay for aerial tours of the island. It also could mean new transport for the rich. Still, it seems based on Timo's reply that there will be some form of new air transport, whether for tourism or transportation purposes.]]>

I start by imposing the building permit edict. I start out by leaving the corn farm next to the hill, but demo the other farm and build another on the hill right away. Next I build 2 mines, each specific to the huge Iron & Bauxite deposites to get some $$ coming in. Next I build a Garage next to the teamster office. Next I create a road loop to the mines and around the huge tobacco area to the right of the palace, then put up 2 tobacco farms. Next I add a couple pubs, one near the palace and one near the mines and finally a tenament near the mines. And finally build a market and immigration office near the palace. By this time, I'm probably 5-8K in the hole, so I wait a while for the $$ to start coming in. While I'm waiting, I bump up all the pay for the non-skilled workers to $10 and also bump up the rent in the tenaments to $3.

After I get the economy back to a positive, I build a church and try to increase the housing a little bit. By this time, I usually have enough $$ to build a cigar factory. After that is built I start working on clinics, highschool and other things.

My last couple run throughs, I've build a bank early using the slush fund option and to help reduce building costs. One thing I am having a lot of trouble with is keeping my skilled workers. After shutting the game off last night I started to wonder if it was because I only had low rent tenaments and if I should build a better, higher rent apartment complex for the skilled workers? Will that help me to keep my skilled workers happy so they don't leave?

Any suggestions to my strategy here? I don't know why, but the US usually ends up invading the island, but through the game, I really don't have anything going on which would provoke them to invade. Out of the 5-6 times I've played this one, they've invaded at least 3 times. The other time I lost an election.

I've also tried the tourist strategy on this island, but it's incredibly hard to keep the normal island functioning bringing in the high $$, while maintaining the tourism. $$ just doesn't come in fast enough to keep the tourists happy and boarded up properly.]]>

Kalypso Media und Akella haben ein weltweites Publishingabkommen - exklusive Russland und Ost-Europa - für das langerwartete Strategierollenspiel DSCIPLES III abgeschlossen. Das Spiel erscheint noch in diesem Juni im deutschsprachigen Raum.

"Wir freuen uns sehr, DISCPLES III demnächst in Deutschland sowie in Nord-Amerika und weiteren Territorien veröffentlichen und unser starkes Line Up für 2010 mit einem hochwertigen Titel weiter ausbauen zu können und freuen uns auf die Zusammenarbeit mit Akella.", so Simon Hellwig, Global Managing Director Kalypso Media Group.

Im dritten Teil der weltweit erfolgreichen rundenbasierten Strategieserie kann der Spieler zwischen drei Rassen wählen um sich gegen seine Gegner zur Wehr zu setzen. Präsentiert in einer detailreichen 3D Umgebung mit einem komplexen Gameplay wird es nicht nur Strategie-, sondern auch Rollenspieler lange vor den heimischen PC fesseln.

Features:
  • Drei spielbare Rassen - Das Imperium, die Legion der Verdammten und die Elfen-Allianz. Jedes Volk hat einzigartige Einheiten und Städte.
  • Alle Städte, Landschaften und Einheiten werden von der modernen 3D-Engine dargestellt.
  • Weiterentwicklung im Spieldesign ermöglichen einen flüssigeren Ablauf im Mehrspielermodus und weniger Pausen im Einzelspielermodus.
  • Ein neues Upgradesystem ermöglicht dem Spieler seinem Charakter individuelle Eigenschaftspunkte zu vergeben und deren Inventar zu verwalten.
  • Jeder Ausrüstungsgegenstand verändert das Aussehen des Spielcharakters.

As the game installed by default, new buildings load the right textures - Tax Office, Odeum, Outpost (everything in expansion.hpk). The debug logs in the application data folder initially listed pretty much every texture. With my workaround, the textures listed below remain.]]>
