Campaign 5 : Tropico Above All

Tropico will always be the best place in the world. In order to make sure everyone knows this, you will need to make sure Tropico holds a number of World Records.

>>> +100% Papaya Commodity Price (+20,000$)
Penultimo will warn you that Van Hoof has increased your building costs by 50% to try and stop you. Shortly thereafter you will be rewarded 20,000$ by the international community for having crossed Van Hoof. Make sure you wait for the cash before you complete the mission. When you do, your building prices will return to normal.

Bad Publicity or Good Marketing - Complete 5 more World Records.
>>> N/A
Once you have completed the initial track, you will need to complete at least 5 other World Records. Once this is done, you should have access to the "Records Are Easy" mission that will let you win the game. It looks like record missions are given to you at random throughout the game. 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. Don't hesitate to set the Journalist wage a little higher than other college workers. Your Journalists can then become your primary source of income throughout the game.

  1. This is one hardass mission indeed, I took the mustache women choice because I think it's sounds funny, turn out it is the hardest choice ever, fulfilling 55% happines is the hardest part for me, which took me almost 4hours, the rest of the mission is pretty easy though. Thanks for the guide
