For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Dominic Toretto doesn't like this, my dynasty member choose to join USA instead stay with her own family.
A great game for future dictators

Просто хороший градостроительный симулятор островного диктатора со своей спецификой, юмором и механиками. Серия достаточно длинная, так что вбирать что лучше-хуже не имеет смысла. 4-ка на вершине, пятерка просто хороша. Она уже старовата, но все так же притягательна. Не могу сравнивать ее с 6-той часть, т.к. не играл, но из уважения к серии не могу ничего сказать плохого про эту. Да уже старовата и графа и механики, но играется до сих пор на удовольствии. А что еще нужно?
This is one of the most restricting and limiting city builders I've ever played. It's as if every decision the developers made was to limit how you could play. Pick any Tropico game other than this one.
为什么中文没了？谁给我个解释
I played Tropico 3 and 4 & its expansion packs and seen the improvements over its previous titles. For Tropico 5, it has some improvement and more on the worst changes on the existing features. - The battle system, personally don't like it & it's backwarded for me: [1] group/unit stats, [2] battle priority (the heck??), [3] unit path for defense (sometimes glitches) [4] Surprisingly you change the education qualification for military via the Constitution. - No more island-wide salary increase like in T4. Bro where did it go?! - I did like the change to the Farm though as compared to previous. A fixed field/area for its crop. - Changes to buildings... [1] locked behind the era system (yeah, nope), [2] some requires electricity (yikes), [3] some locked (even the upgrades) behind the research (OK, some challenge??) [4] Building functions now moved/converted to Constitution - For some reason, finding out what the Faction wants/dislikes is manual in this game: You have to manually take note of it Per Citizen. - Trade is another added manual staff & challenge in management. [1] The opportunity to add trade vessel is limited to buying expensive license in early games, building another Port, and building the Dock via upgrade. [2] In T4, you allow import Per Building, set import price limit, and then let the ship deliver it. This time in T5, you pick available trade/route then schedule it in the Trade management tab. So I generally leaning to NO for this one or you buy the core game on discount or something. You still have the opportunity to do Island/Nation Management.
I only purchased because I like city builders, map editors, and sandbox mode. I spent a 2-day weekend creating a beautiful sandbox map with the intent to spend the following weekend creating events and missions for said map. I saved everything and uploaded to steam. "Unable to upload mission." I searched everything, double checked everything and restarted the game. Back in the editor I was greeted with "unable to load mission." Internet searches yielded zero results. Long story short, after trying everything again, making sure all correct, same result. As a consequence, I am "unable to like this game". I can at least replay Tropico 4 which works well, but I wouldn"t recommend Tropico 5 if map editor sandbox is also your thing.
