Tropico fans will be able to return to their paradise in Q2 of 2011; reassuming the role of El Presidente, the tyrannical (or benevolent) dictator of Tropico. Tropico 4 will bring more superpowers to negotiate with, new natural disasters to recover from, and the ability to elect ministers to “encourage” your people to side with your more controversial policies. The PC version will include Facebook and Twitter integration. You will be able to post status updates directly from the game as well as have it post updates when you unlock achievements or complete missions. You can also take screenshots and have them automatically uploaded to your Tropico 4 Facebook page. Here are some key features directly from the press release:
