As always, sunning a small Caribbean Island, but this time WITH PIRATES is sure to be fun.

Highlight and copy the link text and paste that.

Well... I just installed Tropico (1) yesterday

Az · March 30, 2003, 06:25

did it, after I posted that reply. I don't like pirate games.

Skanky Burns · March 30, 2003, 06:51

Lonestar: Description first, then the link.

Urban Ranger · March 30, 2003, 07:01

Tropico sucks big rocks in the sky.

mactbone · March 30, 2003, 10:25

I played the demo and it is damn fun!

Capturing slaves, booty, and rich people for ransom; building shacks, Davy Jones' Locker, skulls; it's all there!

It's also hella easier to build stuff - no need to have construction buildings everywhere you want to build something.

You can also tell where you want the pirates to patrol - or have them attack a settlement - and they can become privateers! Squeeee!

with all the good games out there, i dont think im gonna end up spending 40 bucks on another tycoon. even one with pirates.

Urban Ranger · April 2, 2003, 09:23

Okay, if they removed that construction building stupidity, it might be a bit better.

Alex · April 2, 2003, 10:07

It is probably interesting, but I have too many games to play and not that much time to do it.

Eh, I thought it was pretty damn good, myshelf.

Here's hopeing they run with Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean for a soundtrack.

VJ · April 2, 2003, 18:23

Tropico was a moderately good strategy-game based on RRT2-engine. Looking forward to T2.

ixnay · April 2, 2003, 18:38

It has pirates; I'm sold.

YAARRRRRRR

Maquiladora · April 2, 2003, 20:47

ROFL now *that* would be a game and a half.

Lonestar · April 2, 2003, 21:58

Oh God in Heaven.

Urban Ranger · April 3, 2003, 23:23

I hope they have removed the useless details, such as what the people think. That doesn't help in the least.

Imran Siddiqui · April 4, 2003, 00:47

It's fun fluff, UR... stop being a curmudgeon

.

I like Tropico, and I'll get T2

Couldn't agree more. That and the inability to build on slopes were my biggest beefs with the game.

Adagio · April 4, 2003, 04:56

Build on slopes? Most of the map was a slope, it was impossible not to build on a slope...

Sheesh, there's a sucker born every minute.

Urban Ranger · April 5, 2003, 01:52

I just went to the Tropico 2 website, however it told me that I needed to have Flash 6 and Java enabled

So I thought to myself, "What a bunch of rejects, they don't even know how to design a website."

Skipping that, I tried to download a demo. Lo and behold it wanted to set a cookie, which I rejected. After which, I found out that I couldn't download the demo. Screw that. What a bunch of complete rejects, why would they need to stick me with a cookie before I can download their game demo? It's them who want to entice me, arsewipes.

The Rusty Gamer · April 6, 2003, 01:08

Get the demo from www.avault.com then.

At least I have fun with my games, and am not in it to 'powergame'

The Rusty Gamer,

Thanks.

I don't do that either, but when the game starts to behave strangely without any reason at all - like building apartment blocks affects rainfall, or construction workers go to construction sites from the office, not directly from home - I get irritated.

Perhaps the construction workers need to "clock in" at the office in the morning or they don't get paid?

That seems logical, plus maybe they have to pick up their tools from there.

Imran Siddiqui · April 6, 2003, 15:22

But UR, you said:

I like those useless details

. Like in Civ2, I liked the wonder movies and the demographics page. They make the game more enjoyable. Fluff is good.
