I love GOLD! And our own ideas. Really, I'm ambivalent when there's so much GOLD to be had

Dr. Steinschneider has already shown us the weakness of depending on non-renewable resources, but there's 8 billion people in the world and counting, so let's do our best to bring all of them to Tropico to bask in the genius of El Presidente! (B, C)

Megalopolis When I did the first few DLC I didn't intend to do them all, just picking what sounded interesting. Then I figured eh, why not do them all, and kept this for last because its a mission where we simply show that we are better then anyone else.  What sort of build for a paradise island... Developer to throw up buildings cheaper, elected as socialist cause duh, charismatic and hardworker to earn our happiness, and hypochondriac because I make bad choices in life.  Welcome to Tierra de la Luna, it comes with the Megalopolis DLC.  Wait I thought this was about being the best place to live not some hippie commune   As said, the palace will always have a mission about City Points where Penultimo explains this system...  And when we exit that dialogue box we'll get this pop up letting us know about the job and home situation.  I start up building some plantations and a garage. The land up here is good for coffee, and there is a bit of dark green for tobacco on the bottom left.  Penultimo's human  And being able to pay to earn city points. We'll hold off on these.   Make sure you plan to buy something when you click on it, cause it takes a few months to come back.  Meet Explosion and JESUS CHRIST that family tree. She is married to Painedforever and they have EIGHT children: CommiserMega, Dirk the Average, Lynneth, SirSamVimes, Pharoman777, Aeromanci, Veloxyll and Scalding Coffee. Explosion more like exploding out of the womb!  And then I discovered something, the timeline is here! Meet the only DLC map that has the Modern Times mechanics. I was gonna say this map would be a good send off to vanilla Tropico mechanics but welp.  Setting up the roadwork for the city hub. Something to note is that this map has some really weird elevation problems. Even on spots that look flat, there is a very minor elevation bump that makes it so you can't build something there because "this area can't be flattened".  We do get some other ways to earn points, outside of bribing the city council. The main way we'll be getting points though is from buying bribes, cause these extra missions may require a lot of work for relatively little payoff. And then considering how points work in regards to citizens, to get the 1k points normally we would need 143 housed and employed citizens. Doesn't sound bad now but.. just wait.  OH COME ON YOU CAN'T REBEL THIS EARLY   Namehereguy, please let me use amnesty and get this goon back!  Whats great about this map is that the majority of the island is in the 40mw range for wind turbines, so I put one down and get our free hospital up.  There isn't a lot of oil on this island, but there is a deposit by our farms. An energy crisis is coming up which increases the price of oil by 25%, may as well take advantage of that.  Just to spite you I'm gonna only make college educate female jobs. But hey that 500 points is pretty good, this is one that is worth working towards. I mean getting more educated citizens is something we'll want anyways.  Nooooooo, curse you XeeD!  Triple A has gone from a criminal to a rebel to now being a defense minister. Funny how things work.  I throw down a bunch of country houses, no tenements on this island! Here we have King Doom and Groly married. Funnily enough, the game considers "Doom" as a last name and has given Groly the last name of Doom.  And this is why we will be bribing for points, like any good competition. 20k points with no bribes will require 2,858 educated and housed citizens. That aint possible, there is a population cap.  Something to note is that Norilsk still earns points even before this point in the mission, so you can't hold off forever. But you are gonna want to hold off for a bit.  First off I'll close the lead that Norilsk has.  And this is why you'll want to hold off a bit on getting 1k points. -60 USSR relations is pretty drat rough, basically say goodbye to importing uranium.  And make sure you don't implicate the USSR in poisoning a dissident    A few months we'll get the option to pay to stop the rebels. Sadly nothing will remove that -60 to USSR relations. Just keep relations good with the Communists and don't implicate the USSR in any political drama.  City is coming along nicely. Got a much needed cement factory up and running, and a cannery for all our coffee.  Welcome to the easy life goons! Just pass 2 edicts and don't make any gaffes!  ...... Uh yeah how about no? 20 Conventillos, you're loving nuts. I don't even have a combined 20 housing buildings. Or 240 citizens to put in those.  Whaaa, Penultimo did something that helps Tropico?!   And then it happens, we get  A volcano happens, there are 2 volcanoes on this island. I mean look at this one though, its flat! How is anything uphill threatened by it? Maybe if you walked into the pit.  Gotta admire the sheer balls on Tropican firemen. Molten rocks are currently flying all around them but drat if they aren't out there on the scene to extinguish a garage.  Sanatorium up, desperately need to get that edict out to increase hospital space. Even with a hospital people are dying because of hypochondriac.  Hrm, 60 intellectuals is gonna be a challenge. There isn't really a lot that you can do to get more intellectuals.  I think the reason that Modern Times is enabled on this map is that you can build theaters and set them to tragedy, which converts citizens to intellectuals. The only other choices is a nuclear shelter set to intellectuals and an art museum set to abstract art.  Speaking museums, its funny that setting it to abstract art sets the service quality as "?"  We hit the year of modern apartments. Overview of the island before we convert the apartments.  Thankfully we can pay to replace them without having to destroy regular apartments and rebuild them.  And we slowly crawl towards the skies.  Whoa El Diablo you're alive! I wonder when Esteban will make an appearance again.  At this point I want to get rid of the country houses, time for free housing. Modern apartments for all!  Biofarms are discovered, a shot of the farming area before conversion.  Grats! Oh, I guess that means Triple A also died at some point. You know, I think the defense minister position is cursed.  And in getting rid of all those farms our unemployment sky rockets.  Biofarms and organic ranches. Less labor, far better payouts. Really need business centers to get discovered.  Here is a nice little area of the island.  And while looking around I found El Toucan!  Anyways I decided that nice area will be a tourist spot. Helping with the unemployment problem.  drat, well it could be worse. The USSR could be injecting us with A-234  But thankfully we have a bunch of eggheads on the island. We can't build llama farms since we discovered organic ranches, but those will count.  I put down the academy of science close to the biofarms, let clone Presidente buff them.  This is another optional way to increase points, but we are at about 75% happiness. It is gonna take a lot of work to get another 5%. I dismiss it.  Finally, goodbye unemployment! However, it is not needed....  Final shot of the tourist area.  Our farming area, with a chemical plant to buff the hospitals.  One half of the city hub.  Other half of the city hub. Those empty spots? Yeah I couldn't build on them because of elevation problems.  The dock area.  Of course we are the best city in the world, this is Tropico!  Victory!

1984 Shame this doesn't take place one year later, so I can make reference to the Bowling for Soup song.  I'll be going back to what Presidente started with, we shall vertical suplex the Doctor onto the table of world politics. Presidente is a proud patriot of his country, so proud it can also be defined as jingo-ism.  Welcome back to Fin del Mundo, a fantastic island name to have the battle for the world on.  First goal of the map, earn a lot of money within 5 years. Part of the reason I picked the entrepreneurial trait.  As a side note, Presidente wasn't kidding when he said he had a suitcase full of money. We start with 75k this map.  We held a vote and we decided goooooooooold. There are 3 deposits on the island, but I really want to get jewelry up.  I quick build 2 borehole mines, we don't have the labor for a third (hell we barely have labor for 2)  I build a jewelry factory by the docks and let it get manually built, give the mines time to get some gold going. Hm, what is that mission by the palace.  A panic button, that we can hit whenever we want to hear Penultimo tell us to not panic. I hit it another 10 times before moving on.  Oh dear, no one is ever happy. If we picked Tourism the Intellectuals and Militarists wouldn't be happy, if we picked Oil the Nationalists and Environmentalists wouldn't be happy.  Being the only other high school job that isn't a palace guard we actually manage to have a factory be fully staffed!  Yeah we got this in the bag. *money throwing emote that I STILL can't find cause we have so many loving emotes*  I start building up a farming area, this map doesn't have a lot of fertile land. I put down a food crop and corn biofarm and an organic ranch.  We need plenty of bodies to dive in front of Presidente to catch a bullet, since we never have a proper army going   With a full entrepreneurial trait and this buff, its like having a fully skilled customs office!  I was strongly considering going for the $15 minimum wage, but decided what better way to send off this game then to have a bunch of Presidente sycophants on the island?  I start building the city hub, the area around the palace has a bunch of unbuildable land around it. Annoying the area in the top right will have issues because of elevation issues.  I start destroying the tenements back around the palace and see 2 more missions (ignore the third one, its the panic button)  ... Ahahahahaha you're a funny guy Lopez. *clicks dismiss*  Now what Penultimo offers is great, and will work great with our plan to increase Loyalist immigrants. I also go through the motions of putting up an Eternal Flame to convert Loyalists and issue the ideology book  I set up an electronics factory where I plan to have our industry at. Away from the city hub, close to the dock.  Speaking of the city hub, slowly building it up. Got a metro up to basically eliminate all traffic to the industry.  Hilariously, we manage to export all the electronics just in time for the factory workers to arbitrarily decide they don't want to work there anymore.  Another mission pops up, I hold off on this one due to factory staffing issues. I accept it later on once we got a good educated work force.  Meet Doublecakes at the Sanitarium. I never realized that patients here go up and use the tables. They play the restaurant animation which is kinda funny.  Congrats to these 2, pray for NHO as defense minister seems to be cursed.  Well I'll need to build up a cathedral soon anyways. Even without putting any effort in increasing religious membership they'll still make up a sizable portion of the population anyways.  I'll throw a tv station on each end of the city hub and create Salvation Way.  Sadly both of our gold mines run dry. I blow them up (they can still generate some resources, but its 25 resource that comes in very slowly. Its pointless to keep them going) and build up on the remaining gold deposit.  Huh, thats a weird restriction on this map. Wonder why its there, usually they provide a story reason to have this.  I should use the generous donations given to us by the God fearing community to help the island. And I will do so in securing my vacation funding, a happy Presidente is a good Presidente after all!  Weirdly enough the game says we earn funds for both the treasury and the swiss bank account. Don't know if its a bug where it is putting money in both accounts or if it just a bug stating its doing that.  I went to check on random citizens and holy poo poo Fidel Castro! This must be where he went into hiding after faking his death! If you want to see more be sure to watch my youtube channel, where you will know the TRUTH of the world. Next up, why the world is ACTUALLY a rhombus  I can get more money for the treasury, more money for myself, or a general happiness boost. Hm.... (I pick the swiss funds)  Well then, I guess its time to do that export 400 cars mission.  City is building up, I'm having to throw down a business center because no one wants to get a high school education.  Well thats just rude, I can handle rebels and criminals but the name calling is a bit mu- ALL HAIL THE HYPNO  Well, there is only one way to take care of this  Activating an edict I have yet to use! Army Drill costs 5k and increases the skill gain for generals, soldiers and SWAT members. Some may die from friendly fire, I'm not sure if it tells you each year if you lose people from it or if they quietly die. If the former it didn't happen this map.  I pick the radio option, since I already had 2 TV stations up and the business center was set to advertising, may as well go full in.  Oh c'mon! There is gonna be a lot of Loyalists on the island and I keep getting these penalties to my respect with them!  Shall I build the 5 radars, just for old times sake? gently caress that, I was gonna build a Telecom HQ anyways.  Yep, Loyalists at 55 relations. Fantastic. Also there is 69 members in the faction H-E-H  We are sitting at 70 happiness so that was easy!  And of course, it all goes into the swiss account. Gonna have one hell of a retirement after this.  *money throwing emote*  City building up, I also put down a newspaper to generate more money from the business centers. Its paying out more then the other options, probably because there isn't a lot of population (a little over 200)  Sunny Flowers: This is Sunny Flowers, with a special broadcast about our new Telecom - (phone rings) is that YOUR phone, Penultimo?! Penultimo: Sorry, Sunny. I have to take this! Yes, this is Penultimo. Yes, I know the number of El Presidente! No, I will not give it to you. Talk about unprofessional Penultimo, put your phone on silent!  Wait what? That was MY idea last map! YOU STOLE MY DEATH STAR PLANS YOU rear end  And he blows up a garage. Could be worse I guess.  3 choices, and who else makes the best plans then Presidente?  How appropriate that we picked gold as our main export at the start. It is true, Presidente loves goooooold  Well this is gonna take a long time and tie up our construction workers for a while. But if it keeps the Doctor from blowing up something important.  I think thats 50  No wait, Doctor, please don't!   nooooooooo  And this is why Presidente's choice is the best option. The other choices doesn't let us blow up our enemies, the USA and USSR!  0% success is the exact amount I need to succeed. Have you SEEN the balls of Tropican firefighters? They fight fires while molten rock falls around them. You think your spaceman lasers is anymore threatening to them?  Hm, I hope that apartment was empty before it got destroyed. Wait what smells like burnt plastic.  Oh god the biggest building on the island is on fire    One last edict to pop, Special Diplomas. For 20 grand we can give a percentage of the Loyalists diplomas, right on the spot. This can only be activated once, so you'll want to be sure you have a good amount of Loyalists on your island. Now my factory labor is no longer a problem! And what more can a Loyalist want then to work at a Tropican factory sweatshop for a wage that never increases? This is my last act however...  The docks, never really did much with it.  Industry area, never built those 50 shanties.  One view of the main hub, I made sure to rebuild the statue.  Other side of the city. I just realized at this point I never did build a police station the entire map. Actually, I never built a humanitarian aid camp this map!  The farm area, with its garage blown up by the space laser  Salvation Way, only 2 cathedrals built as I finished sooner then expected.  Money shot of a firework exploding over Presidente's statue.  Meet the final building, the Ziggurat. Discovered in 1994, the Ziggurat is the final housing building that costs a whopping 100k and needs 100 mw of power. Sadly, due to its large size and the fact it has less housing quality then modern condominiums makes these buildings not worth it. You're better off building something else, disappointing really. Sunny Flowers: This is Sunny with the Hour of Truth! The Ziggurat is extremely dangerous for you, people! Its pyramid shape focuses negative cosmic energies and makes its resident act like ants or lemmings, depending on the polarity of the pyramid. Penultimo: Lemmings? Sunny Flowers: Yes, lemmings. You know, little people from video games that do whatever they're told- Penultimo: We need more of these! I can't think of a better radio speech to end it on, then Penultimo being self aware.  Finally, we have achieved world domination   Now that we are the ruler of the world, I guess we wont need to spend our swiss funds for vacations anymore.  *Tropico jingle plays*  Presidente: It's not half bad here, on top of the world.  Presidente: I think I like it. I will stay for a while. Look at all the little people workding me down there. It makes me feel calm.  Presidente: Viva la Revolucion! And that is it! Every mission from vanilla, DLC and Modern Times done! This was a great game to LP, though I admit I had some sever burn out near the end. I'm glad I was able to finish it though and show off this silly game. And holy poo poo I actually FINISHED a screenshot LP for a change! I hope you all enjoyed this wacky romp through the Caribbean!

For those wondering, going with Pynch ends with you in control of the planet's media, ruling the world from the shadows, and going with Federov ends up with him farting off with whatever you gave him, forcing you to pick from the other two options afterwards. Or at least as best as I can recall, as I also remember getting kicked back into the selection menu after the getting the golden statue blown up. Anyways, good on you for sticking with it to the end.
