Following is my experience from Tropico 1; Pros -Realistic time in power that you can decide (up to 70 years) -A large amount of scenarios to choose from with difficulty ratings -Random map with a variety of options for deciding you island (e.g. size, amount of minerals/good farming land, elevation, amount of water coverage) - Different pros/cons for leaders which you decide (choose how they got into power, peeves such as alcoholic, short tempered, there background like miner/professor and there qualities such as diplomat) -Alot of replayability value due to the fact all of the above will make each game different (and on random map the difficulty will be estimated, but your score at the end will be times'd by this) -Can see alot of information on each citizen, no-one is the same (you can see name, happiness, needs, education, where they work, their home and during an election who want to vote for ) -Can set wages -Can take out anyone you dont like (by means of assasination, capture ect, even people your running against in an election) -Can fix elections -not much micromanagement (e.g. all people choose on there own where they want to work ect) Cons -Cannot take loans (from what i've seen so far) -Only have a choice of 4 camera angles
