Tropico 4 - Best Served Cold Walkthrough Gameplay Tropico 4 is a video game developed by Haemimont Games and published by Kalypso Media and Feral Interactive for Mac OS X. It is a construction and management simulation video game, which focuses around a city building simulation. Like the first and third game in the series, the game centers on a customizable main character by the title of "El Presidente" - the dictator that runs the island banana republic. The game follows the protagonist, El Presidente, as he works towards restoring the power that he lost in the Caribbean after averting a nuclear war perpetrated by the US vice president in order to rise to power. It is divided into three acts: Island: Puerto Gato Synopsis: Though the presidente has taken control of Generalissimo Santana's island and forced him into hiding, the population remains loyal to their former leader. The presidente must deal with both Santana's rebels and his underground resistance movement. Strategy: The presidente has taken control of Puerto Gato, Generalissimo Santana's capital. Santana himself has fled into the jungles to begin a resistance movement among the population. Because of this, Penultimo refuses to permit elections, fearing they would simply put Santana back in power. The resistance begins with 70 members, all of whom need to be dealt with or converted. The island starts off already well-established, with numerous houses and tenements, farms, a ranch, an iron mine, a church, a prison, a power plant, a hospital, a casino, Santana's childhood museum, a Museum of Modern Art, and the Eternal Flame. Santana managed to destroy all industry on the island before leaving and soon sends a message to say he planted explosives in the island's power plant as well, demolishing it. A single well-placed wind turbine will be enough to power the casino and hospital and also generate the 40 megawatts of power necessary to prove that the presidente intends to rule the island better than Santana, converting 5 members of the resistance. Once the island is re-electrified, Miss Pineapple will note that Santana never supported free speech on the island and suggests hiring 8 journalists to prove the presidente's regime is better, converting 5 more resistance members. The loss of the power plant should mean that there's nearly enough college-educated women to become the journalists. Since the modern art museum already has space for 2 journalists, building a couple newspapers will provide the remaining spaces. Unfortunately, the journalists quickly decry the banning of elections and demand one be held immediately. Penultimo says permitting and winning an election would help further legitimize the presidente's rule, converting 15 resistance members if it can be done. Members of the resistance will try to sway citizens away from voting for the presidente. They can be bribed into not doing so with $10,000. Once the election is won, Santana will begin to get more desperate and will incite a spree of arson. Hopefully, the buildings that are set on fire are country houses, tenements, and other such low grade housing, as Penultimo will next suggest building 10 condominiums to win over 10 resistance members. Not long after they're built, Antonio Lopez will present the option of going one step further and building 5 mansions to win over 5 more resistance members. Eventually, Marco Moreno will ask for 25 soldiers and generals to defeat Santana and his rebels. While the army is expanding, Marco will discover that one of the generals is working with the resistance and asks that he be executed, removing 1 resistance member. If the traitor isn't killed within 1 year, he'll start a coup. Once the army is big enough, Santana will be discovered and forced to surrender. By now, there should be 5 to 20 members of the resistance left. As time goes on, citizens who are known to be resistance members will be discovered and marked with an exclamation point above their heads. These individual members can be dealt with by bribing, arresting, or killing them. Once none of them are left, the mission will be won. Optional tasks in this mission include destroying the island's prison which Santana used to hold political prisoners (converts 5 members of the resistance and earns $10,000 in Swiss bank funds, but will release some actual criminals) and destroying the island's Eternal Flame, Santana's childhood museum, and the Museum of Modern Art, all of which are considered monuments of Santana's regime. Destroying each building convinces 5 members of the resistance to become full-fledged rebels and earns $10,000 in Swiss bank funds ($30,000 for the museum of modern art). Another task involves finding Santana's hidden stash of $30,000, which involves demolishing the ranch.
