Kalypso’s Fifteen Years Of Shame
Tropico 5 has not been patched properly. Getting in touch with Kalypso staff was impossible, as they tend to avoid all means of communication with them, regardless of the platform. Because of that, I will only review the game-breaking bugs the game has: 1.) There is a game-breaking bug, which triggers the uprising, the military buildings receive the target marks above them, the crowd keeps running in the streets with the arms, but they do not have the uprisers marker above them. The military gets grouped in front of the targeted buildings prepared to defend them, but they do not attack the uprisers, because the uprisers have not been marked, and they do not attack the buildings nor the army. This makes the sandbox mode impossible to be played long term, with constitution options other than democracy, because the democracy constitution option doesn’t allow the uprisings. Thus, roleplaying a totalitarian or police state is impossible. It is not possible to build military buildings during this time, as the uprising is in progress, but it is not functional, because of the bug. 2.) After the uprising has been over, there are buildings which remain empty due to the population loss. The problem is that those buildings do not get repopulated by other people, who got into the work force, and have the wealth required to live inside of them. Instead, the player is forced to demolish those bugged buildings, and build the new ones, so the population can start moving in. It is a waste of money, a waste of time as the construction workers become occupied rebuilding the same residential buildings over and over again and it creates unnecessary traffic jams. It makes sandbox mode unplayable in the long run. 3.) Tourism cap in the game leaves lots of hotels empty. 4.) The oil refinery in the sea does not become removed sometimes once the oil deposit has been depleted, thus making the scenery uglier.
