El Presidente Dictates Modern Times in Tropica 4’s Latest Expansion

These times, they are a-changing.

Tropico 4: Modern Times

Bob Dylan knew this time would come. Tupac said we needed a change. Obama said be the change. Now it’s time for your fearless dictator, El Presidente, to jump on board or else that sinister force that’s out to destroy you will inevitably succeed. The world you once built is starting to become obsolete while newer technologies come into place. El Presidente and his ministers must now join the war against terror and control Internet regulation and freedom of speech on Tropico.

  • Make Tropico fit for the 21st century: Evolve the island from the Cold War era to modern times and even into the future
  • 30 new buildings become available as time progresses, including condos, skyscrapers, Organic Ranches and Biofarms. Replace obsolete buildings with these modern and inspiring designs
  • Upgrade old buildings to new variants – modernized apartment buildings, banks, museums and much more
  • 10 new edicts allow even more control over your citizens’ lives. Block or limit citizens’ Internet use, create a police state or be a “good guy” and launch the Festival of Love edict
  • New single player campaign comprised of 12 comprehensive scenario missions. Protect Tropico from unseen and sinister forces

Tropico 4: Modern Times will be available this March, and will be priced at 1200 Microsoft Points / $19.99 USD when available.
