You are ableto interact with your citizens, offer them bribes or throw them in jail asdissidents. A cruel ruler may even order the assassination of a troublesomeindividual.

NeedsEvery citizen has 5 primary needs: food, rest, faith, fun and health. Theneed bars are indicated in the Overall tab of his info panel and constantly d g n rat ov r tim . Wh n a n d bar g ts ow, th citi n wi tr to satisf this need, for example if he needs fun he will look for entertainment he canafford. Th citi n wi tr to r th ir n d v n if th cannot nd a wa tosatisfy it, but the respective happiness of the citizen will drop drastically.


15/6415

Penultimo Says: Presidente, a wise leader such as you will nev bars and happiness bars, described below. Low need bars do n the citizen is unhappy, only that he will soon try to satisfy the need.Getting FoodSatisfying the food need works a little differently than other needs. People getseveral meals from a single visit to a farm or a market, and then their wholefamily eats from these household meals for some time.

HappinessThe bars in the Happiness tab of a citizens info panel represent how happy he

feels about various aspects of his life. All these are combined to calculate theciti ns ov ra happin ss. Diff r nt p rsons nd diff r nt things importantand the three most important happiness factors are indicated with a specialsymbol.

Special actionsYou can issue special actions on each citizen. The Special Actions are: ARREST ($500) - if you have an operational Prison and Police station, youcan arrest your citizens and put them in jail. The arrested citizen and all

others who witnessed the arrest will have lower respect for you temporarily. BRIBE ($1000) - if you have an operational Bank, you can bribe yourcitizens. Bribed citizens will have their respect temporarily increased.

HERETIC ($500) - if you have an operational Cathedral, you can declare your citizens heretics. A citizen who has been declared a heretic will not beable to protest, run as a candidate in elections or become a faction leader, buthis familys respect for you will be decreased.

elIMINATe ($500) - if you have an operational Guard Station, you caneliminate a citizen of your choosing. The respect of the late citizens family and all who witnessed the killing will be severely decreased.

ARRANGe ACCIDeNT ($3000) - if you have an operation Secret Police, you can arrange for an accident to happen to one of your citizens. All detailsabout the matter will be hushed up and you will receive no penalty to yourrespect.

ResidencesFamilies can afford to pay up to a third of their combined salary for rent,rounded down. This means that a single citizen that earns $7 can affordhousing with rent up to $2 and a family where the mother and father bothearn $9 can afford housing with rent up to $6 (a third of $18).


16/6416

Every residence has Housing Quality that directly affects the housing happiness of the residence there. More luxurious residences provide higherhousing quality.If som citi ns cannot nd a r sid nc that suits th m, th wi automatica

construct rickety shacks to live in. Shacks are the worst type of housing andgenerally you should strive to have as few of them as possible.

Job and EducationInitially most of your citizens will be uneducated. This means that they cantapply for advanced professions like a doctor or journalist. If you need skilled

workers you can pay for educated immigrants - this action is initiated fromthe Fee and Salary tab in the info panel of the workplace where you needthem. Alternatively, you can educate your own citizens in a High School or

a College.Every workplace has Job Quality that directly affects the job happiness of the workers. More prestigious professions with higher salaries provide higher job quality.You cant force your workers to work at any particular place - they decide

which job to take based on the job quality and their previous job experience.The salary of the workers determines what kind of residence and entertainmentthey can afford. Single citizens may afford entertainment up to their salary;married units may afford entertainment up to half of their combined salary.

Job SkillThe longer a citizen has worked on a particular job, the better he is atit. A n w r cruit d wor r wi wor s ow r or ss f ci nt than anexperienced one, no matter what is his profession - a skilled builder willconstruct buildings faster, a skilled waitress will raise the satisfaction of allthe visitors of a restaurant. Thus, a very experienced worker is a valuableass t to an cit . Th rat at which a unit g ts job s i xp ri nc is modi dby its intelligence.

A citizen often has skills in several different professions. You can inspectthem in the Skills tab of the citizens info panel.

Tracking CitizensYou can mark the selected citizen for tracking by holding Ctrl and pressing one of the number keys (1, 2, 3...). After you mark a citizen you will be ableto directly select it by pressing the corresponding number key.

Tourists and Tourism RatingSeveral classes of tourists can be attracted to the island - young Spring Breaktourists, cheapskate Slob tourists, tree-hugging Eco Tourists and even themost d sirab W a th tourists, if th r sorts of th is and ar good noughto attract them. Tourist families have different wealth and may affordattractions up to their own spending limit. If you managed to attract wealthier


17/6417

tourists you should consider increasing the price of your tourist attractions.Different individual tourists prefer different attractions. You can check theirpreferences from the Preferences tab in their info panel.Like citizens, tourists have different needs and expectations from their

trip - factors like environment, entertainment and safety are usually very important. If they leave happy, they will improve the islands Tourism Rating,but if they are disappointed or dont return to their home country, the island

will get a bad reputation as a tourist resort.More and wealthier tourists are attracted by high tourism ratings. Several

dicts off r adv rtising campaigns to attract a sp ci c c ass of tourists.

BuildingsPoliticians are the same all over: they promise to build a bridg there is no river.- Nikita Khruschev ConstructionTo order the construction of a building, right-click anywhere in the view toopen the build menu. Select the respective category and building and place itanywhere on the screen. Keep an eye on the construction panel at the bottomof the screen for additional instructions during construction.Builders that are on duty will head to the site after you place the construction.Th wi usua n d at ast a f w gam months to nish th ir wor and it

will take even longer when you order huge projects like an Airport or severalconstructions at the same time.You can prioritize constructions from their info panels - builders will try to complete higher priority constructions before lower priority ones. It isalso possible to manage buildings while they are in construction (seeAdministration, below).

DemolitionIf you wish to demolish a building, construction, or road segment, you will haveto select the Demolish icon from the Infrastructure section of the buildmenu. This allows you to mark buildings for demolition. Like construction,demolishing a building will take some time. You may cancel a demolitionorder from the Info panel of the condemned building.Demolishing a construction in progress will give you a full refund.

Administration

Work ModesMany buildings have several different work modes that may be changed atany time, even while the building is being constructed. You can manage the

work modes from the Overall tab of the info panel. Rolling the mouse cursorover a work mode will give you a short description. Only one work mode may


18/6418

be active within a single building.Not : you can chang th wor mod of a bui ding that is curr nt b ing constructed.

UpgradesSome buildings have upgrades that you can construct from the Overall tabof their info panel.Upgrades are special improvements to a building that require a one-timeinvestment. They modify the functionality of the building and once constructedcannot be disabled. Some upgrades require and consume electricity.

Hiring and FiringYou can hire high school or college educated workers from the Fee andSalary tab of the building. You cannot hire workers without education, but you can likely attract them from other buildings with a higher salary.To r a wor r ou must right-c ic on his portrait on th F and Sa ar tab of his workplace.

Fees, Rents, and SalariesYou can adjust Fees, Salaries, and Rents from the corresponding controls inthe building info panel (check out the Fee and Salary tab or the Rent andTenants tab). You will pay salaries to your workers and receive rents from

your tenants every month. Fees are collected when a person uses the serviceprovided by the building.

Penultimo Says: Presidente, it is prudent to raise the fees and re to the spending limits of the people, in order to squeeze as mucpossible from the visitors. Keep in mind that if you raise them people will be able to afford to visit the buildings.Roads and Traf c

Connecting to RoadsSome buildings can be connected to roads. This allows citizens and tourists totravel with cars to and from other buildings connected to this road network.You will recognize such buildings by the arrows that are visualized next tothe car entrance during building placement or the placement of a road. If those arrows are red, the building is not currently connected to a road. Thisdoesnt hinder the functionality of the building and means only that it is notpart of the road network of the island.

GaragesSince many buildings cannot be connected to roads, you can optimize thetransportation network of your island with Garages. Garages are specialbuildings that act as hubs for the road transportation. Any person can travel


19/6419

with his car to or from a garage. This means that if you have two separateneighborhoods with connected Garages, people will be able to travel quicklybetween them.

Penultimo Says: Presidente, if your people travel large distanc roads can do wonders to optimize their trips. Garages also em teamsters for your work force, so they can save you the troubl additional Teamster Offices. Avatar Im personally against seeing my pictures and statues in the st what the people want.- Saparmurat Niyazov ControlsSelect your avatar by clicking on the avatar icon over the minimap or directly on the avatar.

Also, the effects of do not stack, so for example a production building will not get if you decide to visit it immediately after another visit.EconomicsHow can it be mutually beneficial to sell at world market pri materials that cost the underdeveloped countries immeasurable suffering.- Che Guevara Making Pro tsThere are four primary ways to make money - Exports, Tourism, Foreign Aidand Fees. Each of them is explained in greater detail below.

ExportsEvery produced resource that is not used by the economy of the islandis automatically exported to foreign lands (by hauling it to the docks andloading it to a freighter). The prices of these exported resources may vary ov r tim , so a r sourc that is a pro tab xport ar in th gam ma become undesirable later on.Every building that produces a resource has an output storage representing the current quantity of the resource in the building. Teamsters haul goodsfrom this output storage to when they are needed (input storage of otherbuildings such as advanced industry or docks). Teamsters are workers from

th T amst rs Of c that transport goods across th is and.FarmsFarms act both as a way of providing food to your citizens and as a producerof raw resources needed for your industry. The resources a farm produces


21/6421

depend on crop conditions for the current crop. You can see the CropConditions in the Overlays menu. Make sure there are good spots on which

our farms can p ac th ir ds.The soil will deplete with time, so you may want to check on your farms from

time to time, and if necessary, change the current crop to one that has bettercrop conditions.

Mines and Oil WellsMines will exploit the mineral deposit on your island. They have to be placednear a resource, which they will exploit. You can see the Resources in theOverlays menu.Un i Min s, Oi W s n d to b p ac d dir ct ov r a r sourc in ord r tooperate.

Oil Re neriesIn order to exploit oil resources in the sea, you will need to build an oilr n r n ar th m. Th oi r n r wi automatica p ac oi p atforms onn arb r sourc s and a tan r wi start transporting oi to our r n r .If ou manag to construct th H drocrac r upgrad for our Oi R n r , it

will start producing more expensive oil products from the Crude oil gatheredin your Oil Platforms and Oil wells

Electricity Some of your buildings require Electricity in order to operate or for certainupgrades. In order to produce Electricity you will need a working PowerPlant.Once a Power Plant is operational, it will provide Electricity in an area aroundit (your Electrical grid). In order to expand that area you can constructSubstations.A building is considered to have enough Electricity if it is connected to thee ctrica grid and our Pow r P ants supp nough M ga Watts for it toop rat . If th output of th Pow r P ant is insuf ci nt, a ro ing b ac out wioccur in the buildings connected to the Electrical grid.TourismForeign tourists bring fresh money to the economy, and if you make sure they leave the island with good impressions, more foreign visitors will follow.As described above, there are four tourist classes - Spring Break tourists, Slobtourists, Eco-tourists and wealthy tourists. They have different expectationsfrom their trip and different spending limits.Factors such as environment and crime safety are very important for tourists,so it is best if you set your resorts in a beautiful and unspoiled part of theisland.Tourists usually arrive on the island via the Tourist Docks. If you manage toconstruct an Airport, you will be able to attract more and wealthier tourists.

ADDReSS A CURReNT ISSUe - you can choose one of the following factors- Job Quality, Housing, Food Quality, Entertainment, Religion, Healthcare,environm nt, or Crim saf t as a topic to addr ss. Wh n ou addr ss anissue, it will have less impact on the votes of your citizens for the next

elections. PRAISE - gives you the option to praise a faction or a Superpower. Praising temporarily increases the respect of the members of the faction (if a faction

was chosen) or the relations with the selected Superpower (if a Superpower was chosen). You can also praise yourself.

PROMISe - allows you to make an election promise. You can choose one of the different faction demands. Election promises will allow you to sway yourmor impr ssionab subj cts, but if ou do not fu our promis s, th withink twice before voting for you. You may choose not to make an electionpromise.

Foreign PoliticsThe attitude of the foreign Superpowers towards Tropico determinesthe amount of foreign aid they will send. If one of these countries is very disp as d with our r ign, it ma forc fu r mov ou from of c .It is quite hard to keep on the good side of both the USA and USSR but if youmanage to form an alliance with a foreign power and allow the constructionof a military base on the island, the other superpower will never threaten your reign.

Superpower demandsOccasionally, a Superpower you have formed an alliance with, will demandthat ou issu sp ci c for ign po ic dicts. Unti ou issu th dict th

want, you will not receive any rent from their military base. You can seethe demand that has been made on you from the Info Panel on the foreignmilitary base on your island.

ProtestsCitizens who are unhappy will occasionally start a protest. During a protestthe citizen who started the protest and the crowd that has gathered aroundhim will temporarily respect you less. Also people who protest often may decide to become rebels.The chance of a protest also depends on liberty - protests are more likely inareas with a higher liberty rating. If the liberty in the area is too low, thecitizens may be too afraid to protest.

You can calm down protests - by selecting your Avatar and right-clicking onthe protesting citizens. Your Avatar will then calm down the protesters.

UprisingsWh n th majorit of th popu ation is unhapp , an uprising ma occur.


25/6425

Uprisings ar bruta con icts in which th popu ation is sp it into o a ists whosupport your rule and traitors who wish to overthrow you. You will be able tosee the number of traitors and loyalists in the left part of your screen.The traitors will try to take control of your palace. If you lose your palace, you

will lose the game.CoupsIf some of your soldiers and generals are unhappy they may stage a coupdetat. The remaining soldiers who are faithful to you will try to protect thepalace.The traitors will try to take control of your palace. If you lose your palace, you

will lose the game.

Rebel attacksIf you have rebels on your islands, you should be prepared for their attacks.The rebels usually attack buildings on the outskirts of your city. Army regiments close to the site of the attack will try to repel the rebels.After several attacks, the rebels may become unruly and try to attack yourpalace. If you lose your palace, you will lose the game.

Secret policeYou can create Secret Police Headquarters through the Secret Police edict.

The secret police will enable you to use the Arrange Accident citizen action, which unlocks several edicts and gives you early reports about subversiveactivities (see below).

Subversive activitiesThe KGB, the CIA and the rebels on your island may trigger subversiveactivities like bomb threats, worker strikes, media occupation,assassination attempts and hostage crises. These subversive activities willrequire you to make a choice of what is to be done in this situation.If you have established a Secret Police on your island, you will get additionalchoices and if your agents are good, you will receive reports about futurethreats.

Creating ChallengesI know you are here to kill me. Shoot, coward, you are only g- Che Guevara The Basics

In Tropico 3 you can create your very own challenges, which you can share with other players over the Internet.
