The early Colonial Era gives way to the World Wars, where both Axis and Allies are furiously buying up supplies and vying for your affections. Picking up the campaign mode throws you in to Colonial times on a remote Caribbean island, where you oversee a banana republic controlled by the British Crown, aiming to free yourself from the distant rule by winning the support of the population. The march of time also escalates the challenges you face. Tropico 5 is a building and world management sim putting you as the ruler of a new island nation. You start in the early 20th century and work your way up to the modern era, though the art doesn't convey the changing eras very well.

First, it now unfolds across a series of eras, each with their own associated buildings (unlocked via a simple and almost meaningless research tree) and world events. Tropico 5 largely sticks to that formula with a couple key changes. You slap down a few plantations, start exporting bananas and coffee to the rest of the world, and then get to work expanding your shantytown empire - all while taking in the lush sights and sound of a slightly debauched tropical paradise. There is a lot to like about Tropico 5, but at the same time its rough edges are a continual annoyance. That's not necessarily a bad thing: it's generally let you get on with the fun of building without tearing your hair out over finicky optimization games like the (also excellent) Anno series. Rise army wages to the top of course, they'll be loyal and run faster.
And then, dulcis in fundo, Secret Police Go for the accidents. As a city-building game, the Tropico series has historically emphasized fun and style over challenge. You are a Dictator, let them think things will go better: Listen to party requests, A few newspapers, Amnesty for everyone.
