Marco Moreno is next on your list of targets, and El Presidente has a plan to make good use of the traitor. On your new island, your pet and mascot El Toucan goes missing, and you’ll need to construct a Newspaper to help find him.
Once the Newspaper is up and running, Nick Richards contacts you again with an offer, he can give you a new Nuclear Reactor, or he can give you $30,000. Either one is tempting.
There’s the enrichment scheme you can milk, but you’ll have to remain on good terms with the superpowers in order to buy the necessary uranium to run it and it can be expensive.
Miss Pineapple will also step in and request a Radio Station be built so she can help find El Toucan.
She doesn’t find the bird of course, that would be too easy. She does detect strange radio waves, however. Fortunately, you don’t have to look very long for the bird as Marco Moreno contacts you and says he has the bird hostage.
You can give him $40,000 for the bird, or you can defeat the rebels in combat. You can also use the money you could give him against him instead. Sign the Military Modernization Edict to help balance the odds for your own army.
Of course, if your economy is strong, $40,000 might be easily handled.
You are given a choice if you pay or defeat him: Support his worldwide revolution, or wipe the rebels out. All of them.
Choose to Wipe them out: You will be given the task to bring your military power to 100, which will involve various Tasks you can select around the island.
You’ll have to build the requested buildings or have the requested number of soldiers per task, but it’s all in preparation to pound some sense into Marco Moreno!
The moment you break 100 units, the war and chapter are over, and Moreno is your pet minion to sic on the remaining traitors.
Choose to Side with the Rebels: Yawn. It’s this Presidente’s opinion that you chose…poorly. Any option that does not involve the creation of a Nuclear Weapons Program is lacking in real zest!
This is more or less the same as wiping him out, but it’s a more peaceful endeavor. Raise his satisfaction with your rule to 100 by accomplishing the tasks set before you.
Throughout both paths, you will find that rebel attacks and subterfuge will be a regular cause for concern. Your superior economy should allow you to bounce back after each event with no problems.
