Tropicans!

El Presidente is thrilled to be in the running for this year’s Steam Awards, and demands nothing less than absolute success for Tropico.

Unfortunately, it seems that El Presidente’s infamous ‘guaranteed win’ strategy doesn’t work so well outside of Tropico, so we need your help to wrangle the vote for our lovable leader.

So vote for Tropico 6 as 'Labor of Love'…or else!

Vote El Prez!
Or else...

Tropicans,

El Presidente brings you a gift you cannot refuse.
After discovering his love for festivals, El Presidente has hired Penultimo to take care of his annual Halloween party.
Eerie gardens and palace decorations await you from October 24 to November 7.

In the gameplay options of Tropico 6 you can toggle the box to celebrate Halloween with El Presidente.



Halloween event

• Halloween-themed Main Menu
  
• Autumn style foliage
  
• Flowers in parks/ on buildings got replaced by pumpkins
  
• Halloween palace customization (Garden) is available. (The Halloween palace customization is available via “garden” option in the palace customization menu during the Halloween event)
  
• The palace customization will be removed when the event is over!

Fellow Tropicans,

Tropico 6 Update 15 Hotfix 2 was just released for Windows, Linux, Mac and Xbox One. This update mostly addresses feedback to the Festival DLC – balancing the difficulty so that you can ease up during El Presidente’s big party. He gave every citizen a “free” ticket as well so that boredom gets vaporized into fireworks.

It also includes some bug fixes, for example, some 2x2 park variations not being able to be built and more remedies against party mood killers. The bug where the busker caught on fire has also been fixed – even if such incidents would have annihilated the boredom as well.
Thanks for your feedback and now get the Festival Party started with even more boredom killers!

Viva Tropico!
