1. INTRODUCTION
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Tropico 3 is basically a God-game with an intricate array of options and
customisable features. In contrast to most games of this type that make the
jump from PC to console, this game hasn't been stripped down at all - so don't
expect an easy ride!
The game is what you make of it - you'll choose everything from workers' wages
to which resources are exploited and how. Your style of leadership is up to
you - benevolent father-type or brutal psyhopath. This guide aims to show you
how to employ simple tactics to prevent problems, and which edicts and options
can be used for which style of dictator you choose.
I'm no expert, and I don't claim to know everything - if you find any problems
or have any questions, please let me know and I'll do my best to fix it. You
can e-mail me at the address above, or alternatively message me on Xbox live -
my gamertag is Lisanne1979.
Enjoy!

2. ACHIEVEMENTS
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Most achievements are very easy to get in this game, and should come naturally
as you're playing. However, if you're struggling to get some of them, or just
in the mood for some cheap boosting, here's the easiest way to do it.
Note that playing a Sandbox game with God mode switched on will prevent you
from getting any achievements except the achievement specifically triggered
by completing a game in this mode.
SWISS BANK ACCOUNT:
------------------
"A little something" - 10 points - $20,000 in Swiss bank account
"Pension Fund" - 20 points - $50,000 in Swiss bank account
"Filthy Rich" - 30 points - $100,000 in Swiss bank account
The easiest way to get these achievements is to play any game in any mode that
lasts a long time, set up the Building Permit edict right at the start, and
build like crazy. Try to build tobacco plantations and a cigar factory first so
you maintain a good cashflow to fund your building. It'll also speed matters
up a great deal if you build at least three extra Construction Offices at
different points on the island when you start. Try to concentrate on expensive
buildings like factories and the airport, and if you run out of space, demolish
and rebuild stuff repeatedly for the commissions.
BUILDINGS:
---------
"Call me Tropifeller" - 5 points - build a Skyscraper Hotel
"Let there be Light" - 10 points - build a Power Plant
This hotel requires you to have electricity, so build a Power Plant first from
the Infrastructure tab in a spot with plenty of empty space around it. Once
this is built, you'll be able to select the Skyscraper Hotel from the
Accomodation tab. Easy in any mode.
"Frequent Flier" - 10 points - build an Airport
The Airport takes ages to build, so you should have at least two Construction
Offices before you start so if you want to build something else in the
meantime, your progress won't be impeded unnecessarily. You'll find Airport
under the Infrastructure tab. Easy in any mode.
"Heavy Traffic" - 30 points - build at least 1000m of roads and 4 garages
Use Sandbox mode with a nice high starting budget, and a fairly flat island.
Build a ring of road around the outside of the island and link it to the
starting buildings. Build the four garages (you'll find them in the
Infrastructure tab) and then keep linking places together with roads until you
hit 1000m and the achievement triggers.
"Tropico Tycoon" - 20 points - build three different Industry buildings in one
game
Build three different buildings from the following list in one game:
Lumber Mill, Cigar Factory, Rum Distillery, Jewellery Factory, Furniture
Factory, Cannery, Oil Refinery.
I recommend selecting Oil Refinery first as this brings a substantial income
for the purpose of building more of the above. After that, it's up to you - my
preferred option is Lumber Mill followed by Furniture Factory as this will
bring you an easy route of income assuming you have a Logging Camp.
"Tourist Resort" - 10 points - build all tourist attractions in one game
You'll need lots of space and construction workers for this, so select Sandbox
mode and choose a nice big island with plenty of flat space (but avoid the
desert islands as tourists don't generally go there). Prepare the ground
by building a couple of Construction Offices, a Power Plant in an empty space
and a Tourist Dock and Hotel if you're planning on getting anything in return
for what is going to be a very expensive building spree. This is also a nice
convenient way to get the Architect achievement too - see below for details.
You'll need to build one each of these: Spa, Zoo, Botanical Gardens, Souvenir
Shop, Pool, Tour Office, Beach Site, Scenic Outlook, and Ethnic Enclave. Once
they're all done, bingo. This is probably a good opportunity to sit back with
the game sped up to maximum and get the Paradise Island achievement too (see
below).
"Metropolis" - 25 points - build 200 buildings on one island
You're going to need serious space and cash for this, so use Sandbox mode and
go for all the easiest options (except God mode!). Baja Formosa is the easiest
location to get this due to a large amount of space, flat terrain and resources
to get you the cash. Start by building several tobacco farms and a cigar
factory, and the relevant expert from overseas. This way you guarantee an
income for yourself even if you go into the red at first. After that,
just wait until you've got some cash and then get cracking. Go for buildings
that will generate you income from the start and plenty of farms, ranches and
houses, and basically just keep building as and when you can afford it and you
will net this achievement in no time. One thing to watch out for - don't go
overboard with building roads. They take up too much of the space and you won't
have room to fit all the buildings on the island.
"Elitest" - 50 points - construct 1337 buildings
Don't worry, this is cumulative so you don't need to do it in one go. If you
can't wait, just keep building and destroying things in Sandbox mode until it
triggers.
LEADERSHIP:
----------
"In the Ivory Tower" - 10 points - address the people from your Palace
Select the Avatar option from the pop-up menu, and then press A on your Palace
to deliver a speech from the balcony.
"Honest Politician" - 20 points - fulfil an election promise
This is also very easy. When elections come around, give a very simple promise
in your speech, such as promising to build a church. As soon as you've given
the speech, do what you promised and that's that.
"My people love me" - 20 points - get over 80% of the vote in an election
Issue positive edicts, build good quality housing with low rent, create at
least one marketplace, build some entertainment venues, increase workers' wages
and create a church. That should keep everyone happy enough to vote for you.
Bribing faction leaders doesn't hurt, either.
"High Praise" - 10 points - praise yourself in an election speech
Might want to save this one for an election where you're very confident that
your citizens are happy enough for you to win easily. In your election speech
under the option for praise, just select yourself. That's it.
ALL ACHIEVEMENTS WILL BE ADDED BY 7th DECEMBER 2009.

3. BASIC PRINCIPLES FOR SUCCESS
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
- Whatever game mode you play in, you start with limited cash. Forget what the
game suggests to build (for now): concentrate firmly on earning more cash
right from the start. There are several easy options depending on the terrain
type. First up, there's cigars/tobacco. Building a tobacco farm or two is an
inexpensive, lucrative venture. Build a cigar factory alongside them, and
you have one serious source of income on your hands. Then there's oil, gold,
furniture (another easy one: build a logging camp, then a lumber mill, and
finally a furniture factory) and rum, all of which are guaranteed to net you
a substantial income.
- Now you've set things in motion, it's time to start syphoning off a tidy sum
for yourself. Select Edict, then Building Permit. You should do this near
the start of each game. The sooner you do this in-game, the better, as this
way you'll make the most possible cash for yourself. The Intellectuals won't
like it, but further along you could always just build them a school and
initiate the Literacy Program (another Edict) and they're sorted.
- Right, so you're sorted for cash and your Swiss bank account is ticking along
nicely. Now it's time to start meeting your in-game objectives. These vary
according to the game setting: check the sections below for tactics.
- While you're doing all this, you should make sure roads are linking together
all your major sites, especially industrial sites linked to the docks.
- You'll need to focus on keeping your people happy while you're meeting the
objective, or else they'll just have a pesky rebellion and that way leads to
the gallows. Housing, healthcare, education and decent wages should all be
high up on the list, as should building a church. Build a marketplace for
convenience for your workers, this will help a great deal. And should things
start looking tricky, you can always dig deep into your Edicts (and pockets)
and issue a tax cut.
Stick to these principles and you should have a fairly smooth ride. Of course,
prevention is better than cure, so be sure to steadily improve your military
infrastructure as your population expands, and keep an eye on the happiness
of your subjects and their thoughts so you stay ahead of the game.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
4. SWISS BANK ACCOUNT
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Your Swiss Bank Account is quite literally your retirement fund so build it up
nicely - by embezzling funds.
There are two ways to do this:
1. The Building Permit edict. Select this very early in the game and every time
you build something, you'll get 10% of the build cost deposited into your
bank account.
2. Build a Bank [COMING NEXT UPDATE]
3. Wait for random events to occur: sometimes you get the option of syphoning
the humanitarian aid directly into your account instead of disaster relief.
Building up a substantial balance is a main objective of the game, whatever
mode you play, and contributes to your score on the leaderboards. There are
also three achievements linked to this. The first one is very easily
achievable through the Building Permit alone ($20,000), but the $50,000 and
$100,000 ones will take a little more determination.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
5. EDICTS
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Edicts are basically your commands to your population and diplomatic ties with
other countries. These are powerful toolsat your disposal. You can use them
to satisfy the masses, to earn money for yourself, to suppress rebellion and to
keep world superpowers sweet. Hold down the right trigger and press A to open
the menu, and have fun!

6. AVATAR ACTIONS
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
NEXT UPDATE
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
7. BUILDING TYPES AND TERRAIN
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
HOUSING:
-------
SHANTY
Cost: $150
Description: Extremely low cost housing, and you get what you pay for. Slightly
better than shacks, but not by much. Not worth the effort frankly.
BUNKHOUSE
Cost: $500
Description: Cheap housing not much better than shanties. Again, not really
worth the effort.
TENEMENT
Cost: $4000
Description: Huge housing block that packs in the tenants but has very low
quality.
HOUSE
Cost: $2000
Description: Good quality housing for two families apiece. Doesn't take up
much space so useful to fill tight spots.
COUNTRY HOUSE
Cost: $1000
Description: Small house with reasonable quality. Doesn't take up much space.
APARTMENT BLOCK
Cost: $5000
Description: Reasonable quality housing for a large number of tenants.
MANSION
Cost: $4000
Description: Requires power plant. Large, luxury house.
CONDOMINIUM
Cost: $6000
Description: Requires power plant. Luxury housing for multiple tenants.
FARMS & MINES:
-------------
OIL WELL
Cost: $8000
Description: Produces crude oil that can be exported for mega-cash. Must be
built on land on top of an oil deposit.
FARM
Cost: $1500
Description: Produces agricultural crops - select the type of crop you want
and then build the farm near to a green area (avoid placing the farm directly
over the green area - the farmers will use the land adjacent to the farm).
Crops available: corn, banana, papaya, pineapple, coffee, tobacco, sugar.
RANCH
Cost: $750
Description: Ranches also have a reliance on good terrain, but more terrain
will appear green and therefore very useable with a ranch. You can herd
cattle, goats or llamas.
FISHERMAN'S WHARF
Cost: $3000
Description: Build this on the coast to gain fish for consumption or for
the production of canned food. You'll see a ring of green terrain around the
outside of the island - aim to build close to where the ring is the deepest
shade of green for maximum benefit.
LOGGING CAMP
Cost: $1500
Description: Deforestation for profit. Trees do regrow, but you'll have to
sacrifice what is usually some of your most fertile land.
MINE
Cost: $3000
Description: Build this next to (not directly on top of) the glowing yellow
sections on the map (these will only appear when the mine is selected for
placement). You can choose to mine all minerals, iron, gold or bauxite.
INDUSTRY:
--------
OIL REFINERY
Cost: $15,000
Build this on the coast close to the black spots in the sea (these only appear
when the oil refinery is selected for placement) to process the crude oil
for a fantastic cash return.
CANNERY
Cost: $15,000
Creates canned food from pineapple, coffee or fish. This results in a much
higher income than exporting the goods raw. Only worthwhile if you're
producing the relevant goods.
LUMBER MILL
Cost: $5000
Processes logs from the logging camp into lumber, which sells at a higher price
than logs. You should only bother with this if you have a logging camp.
CIGAR FACTORY
Cost: $10,000
Processes tobacco from your farms into cigars. A fantastic source of high
income assuming you have a few tobacco farms.
RUM DISTILLERY
Cost: $22,000
Creates rum from sugar. A great source of income if you have a few sugar farms.
JEWELLERY FACTORY
Cost: $13,000
Processes gold from your mines into jewellery. Great if you're mining a lot of
gold.
FURNITURE FACTORY
Cost: $17,000
Processes lumber into furniture. Needless to say you should have a lumber mill
and a logging camp before building this. Produces a pretty decent income.
