Tropico in now GOLD

Tropico is now Gold and the PC version will be in store April 24 and the MAC version will follow in May.

PopTop and GodGames hope to make Tropico a strong nation by installing dictators who can balance its economy, develop the countryside and build public opinion amongst island natives. These newly installed dictators can build more than 85 unique structures, each benefiting various groups on the Island. Among the structures they can build are housing, schools, market places and clinics, which will give them the ability to maintain a populace.

Additionally, the new dictators will begin the construction of factories, mining facilities and tourist attractions like spas and hotels to ensure the island's prosperous economy. The Americans also plan to give the newly installed dictators free reign of domestic and foreign policy. If the island's growth is well planned, the new dictators will have plenty of money to buy the peoples' favor and ensure prosperity. If growth is poorly planned and the economy falters, the population may revolt, forcing martial law.
