Tropico 4 Guide › Walkthrough › Chapters 11-20

Forgiveness

Acquitted and free to rule the island of St. Maria Magnifica, you return to a deteriorated island, with lots of work to do before you can return everything to the way it was.

Compared to the last chapter, this feels considerably more relaxed from the start! Enjoy the peace while it lasts.

Your first goal is to reach a population of 120 citizens.

Tip

Early funding can begin with Coffee and Tobacco farms.

You may be tempted to plant them close to your starting location, but the fields will get in the way of making an accessible city to your citizens, not to mention building over your crop fields is lost profits!

Tip

In addition to cash crops, a Gold and Iron deposit are close to your start location, with one Iron deposit sitting next to one of your starting roads!

Once you have the citizens, you need to have 5000 units of exports from your growing economy. The relaxed pace of the beginning should have allowed you to set up good cash crops that can be further processed in factories.

Mysteriously, someone tries to poison you. You’re given a choice on how to deal with it, and it does brighten a particularly slow start to the chapter. This starts to become a running theme.

Soon, a construction accident nearly claims your life. Your cigars become booby trapped. Penultimo decides you need to issue the Wiretapping Edict as soon as possible, as it’s obvious someone is after you.

Tip

Take these attacks as a hint, and build up an army. A full Armory of Generals, and three guard towers will be sufficient in size. The Modernization Edict can also help.

Soon, El Diablo comes forward and says he might ‘know a guy’, and he’ll happily present him to you for $25,000. You could also just arrest him yourself, if you look for a man with an exclamation mark over his head.

Speaking personally, this Presidente just handed over the cash. El Diablo could use it for a new tattoo or something.

The longer this agent remains free, you will be subjected to Rebel attacks, and if they take the Palace, it’s over for you.

None other than Generalissimo Santana steps forward to offer his assistance…for a cool $230,000 out of your own Swiss bank account.

You need to earn that money on this island, and fortunately, some old friends stop by to help.

He will offer a Task where you can get get $70,000 towards the goal…you just need to make the maximum wages for every worker $1 for two years. Let’s leave that one for last, hmm?

First, sign the Building Permit Edict if you already haven’t. You’re going to be doing a lot of building, and having some funds go to your Swiss bank account will make this that much easier.

CEO Keith Preston is actually happy to see you, enjoying the challenge you presented. He wants you to build 10 mines, and fortunately, there are more than enough locations to handle that on this map.

He will give you $70,000 to your Swiss account. The nice thing about all of these mines is that you can then use the materials on factories that will help prop up your economy for the big task.

Marco Moreno will ask for you to raise the liberty happiness of your island to 75. Get those media outlets rolling!

two years with $1 dollar wages for everyone. Before you even accept this, make sure you have a strong economy, and make sure you have a good chunk of cash on hand.

You’ll want to use it to sign Edicts like Tax Breaks and Free Housing, and build the necessary structures to please the people while waiting this out.

It’s only two years, what could possibly go wrong?

Once you manage to get the $230,000, you uncover the true man behind the curtain. Nick Richards is responsible for the death of his predecessor, and millions of conspiracy theorists are redeemed worldwide.

El Presidente is not intimidated by the fact that his enemy is none other than the Commander in Chief of the US. He will fall, just the same as the others did!

Maybe. He IS the US President.
