Campaign 6 : Bickering Factions

This island is plagued by internal political struggles. You will need to make sure the one thing they agree on is that you should be Presidente. Or use guns.

Primary Objectives

You will be asked several times to choose between two factions. Each time you do, you will get a Faction Disaster from the faction you did not choose. You will need to bring up your faction standing in order to fix the Disaster. Choices are :

Communists VS. Capitalists

Militarists VS. Intellectualists

Environmentalists VS. Religious

Nationalists VS. Loyalists

(Communist) National Agenda : Agriculture - Have at least 30 Farmers.

>>> 10,000$

Faction Disaster : 20% reduction in export prices.

Sugar & Corn can be planted efficiently nearby. You'll need at least 5 Farms, since each can employ 6 Farmers. The Food for the People and Social Security edicts should be enough to tackle the Faction Disaster. Once you complete the task, Moreno will complain that you are trying to enslave your people, and more rebels will appear on your island.

(Capitalist) National Agenda : Tourism - Have a Tourist Dock and 3 Hotels, Motels or Luxury Hotels

>>> 15,000$

Faction Disaster : New rebels.

The Food for the People and Social Security edicts should be enough to tackle the Faction Disaster. Once you complete the task, Moreno will complain that you are trying to enslave your people, and more rebels will appear on your island.

(Militaristic) Santa Teresa Expands its Standing Army - Have 12 Soldiers or Generals

>>> Temporary +50 respect of Soldiers & Generals.

Faction Disaster : students can no longer graduate.
Build a Grade School and High School.

(Intellectualist) Search for Extra-Tropican Intelligence - Have 5 Radar Dishes

>>> 15,000$

Faction Disaster : ???
The total cost of this operation is of 28,000$, but you can set the radar dishes to bring you some cash over the rest of the mission.

(Religious) A Monument to our Faith - Build a Statue of Christ the Savior

>>> Permanent +20 standing with the Religious faction.

Faction Disaster : ???

(Environmentalist) Santa Teresa goes Green - Build 3 Garbage Dumps and one Horticulture Station

>>> +30 Tourism Rating.

Faction Disaster : visitors to churches and cathedrals will lose respect for you.

Fits in well with the Capitalist path.

(Nationalist) How I Learned to Stop Worrying - Build a Nuclear Program

>>> Free Armory

Faction Disaster : Loyalists will slowly leave the faction.
This is very costly and less useful compared to the Loyalist mission.

(Loyalist) The Beloved Leader and Teacher of the Tropican People - Build a Mausoleum
>>> 20 High-school educated loyalists will join your Island.

Faction Disaster : Riots and dead immigrants.

The Ultimate Showdown - Fight off the last Rebel Attack !
>>> Win the Game.

Spend away and make as big an army as you possibly can.

Secondary Objectives

Who Rebels the Rebels - Establish a Secret Police and hire 3 Secret Agents.

>>> 20,000$ to Swiss Bank Account

You should probably get a secret police anyway. You will find out that someone outside of Tropico is the source of the high level of rebellion...

New Army Base - Build an Army Base

>>> 20,000$ to Swiss Bank Account

Build it. You'll need it.

Prepare for the Rebel Attack
>>> 500$ to your Swiss Bank Account
You can use the Conscription edict, have a few Army Bases / Armories for generals, and stockpile on Guard Stations. You should be able to manage 25,000 to your SBA.

Other notes :

- Frequent rebel attacks mean you will need a decent army.

- You will need a strong economy to withstand all of the capricious demands of your factions. I suggest either Sugar & Rum or heavy Tourism.

- Don't hesitate to abuse the Amnesty edict in order to counter the Rebel threat.

Campaign 2 : It's All Mine

Isla del Hierro is full of... potential. Mine away, with the help of CEO Keith Preston, and make yourself a wealthy Presidente : you'll need it for later.

Primary Missions :

One Billion Reasons - Build a Mine.

>>> 10,000$

Simple enough, there are two iron deposits right next to your town.

Partners ? - Export 500 Iron.

>>> 15,000$ to Swiss Bank Account

Just let it roll.

- Export 500 Gold / Bauxite / Salt

>>> 15,000$ to Swiss Bank Account

Gold is the most expensive commodity of the three, ans is readily available nearby, so build 2 gold mines, a garage and road them to your town.

Prospectors - Pay 10,000$
>>> New resources on your map.

Not particularily useful, but needed to complete the mission.

??? - Choose a Reward

>>> +10 respect from everyone

>>> +5% ore prices

>>> 10,000$

In the long run, i would suggest the increased ore prices. Respect can be bought with the right buildings, after all.

A Drill from China - Pay 10,000$

>>> Save the miners (maybe?)

Sounds a little dodgy, but what choice do you have?

Made in China - Choose an Affliction

>>> -50 relations with China for 3 years

>>> -10 respect from Tropicans for 2 years
>>> Unknown effect (+ China Relations).
No reason to pick negative effects right?

A Rescue Plan Of Our Own - Build an Academy of Science
>>> N/A
No more trusting foreigners !

Gray Matter Matters - Have 4 Professors

>>> N/A

These can come from Radar Dishes, Colleges or your Academy of Science.

You'll be given a choice : to save the miners or to wait. These are the outcomes :
Wait Once > +10,000$ / You will be given the remainder 25,000$ if you ever fall short of cash in a further mission.
Wait Twice > +15,000$ (stop here).

Wait More > A warning by Penultimo (or here).

Wait Again > An uprising will be triggered. Good luck with that. You will get the achievement "Iron Fist".
In any case, the miners will then be free.

Get Rich - Make 100,000$ from exports.
>>> Win the Mission

The more mines you have, the faster this will go. It took 3 freighter trips with my 5 mines from the "Corner the Market" secondary mission.

Secondary Missions :

Dumping Prices - Choose a Reward.

>>> 10,000$ to Treasury and -10% Iron price.
>>> 10,000$ to Swiss Bank Account and -10% Iron price.

>>> No cash, no price change.

Iron prices will soon drop anyway, so you'll have to mine something else. Pick the swiss bank account unless you need the cash.

Dust Disease - Have a doctor.

>>> Stop the continuous deaths of valuable miners.

Build a clinic and hire a doctor if necessary.

Corner The Market - Have a total of 5 Mines or Salt Mines.

>>> Ore prices increase by 10%.

Other Notes :

- Set your Avatar to Miner before the start of the mission for 50% extra production from mines.

- Having a second dock can help reduce the pressure of having to wait for the next boat for exports.

- Since most of your cash will come from imports, you might want to build a Customs Office.

Campaign 1 : Rise to Power

The little island of St. Clara is not doing very well. You'll need to prove your worth by turning this small carribean community into... well something less bad.

Primary Missions

You will need to complete 5 steps : Food, Religion, Healthcare, Homes and Fun. Generalissimo Santana will guide you in your endeavour, dictator to dictator.

TIP : try to satisfy each need a little bit, build a church, a clinic and a restaurant, as well as some housing. Use an immigration office set to Tropico First in order to avoir population growth.

You will be told that for each journalist present on the island you will gain 5,000$ whenever a record is completed.
TIP : with an easy access to cheap electricity through Wind Turbines of 40MW, you can build several TV and Radio stations. You will need good education in order to fill them with qualified personnel.

- After the first record, you will gain 5,000$ for each journalist on the island when a record is achieved.
