Fellow Tropicans,

Tropico 6 Update v. 16 ‘Vigilancia y seguridad’ has now been released on Steam. This update adds new content, such as a new Cold War building, the “Secure Mansion“ and a new modern military building, the “Overwatchtower ”. The Overwatchtower offers the ability to uncover hidden roles of passing Tropicans: nothing escapes the eyes of El Presidente!

Of course, Update v. 16 also contains some improvements and bug fixes. For example, we’ve addressed a bug that prevented the special “Make Party not war” festival from disappearing in the mission “The Final Party”. Similarly, a bug that meant the festival areas do not show the festival cooldown for the client has also been fixed.

Viva Tropico!

• A new Cold War building, the “Secure Mansion”, has been added.
  The Secure Mansion provides a new living space for rich and filthy rich Tropicans (including its own bunker). The Mansion can be modernized to the Secure Mansion and the Secure Mansion can be modernized to the Modern Mansion. Also, you can improve the Secure Mansion with the “Increase Surveillance” upgrade. This gives the building a chance to uncover hidden roles of passing Tropicans.
  No Tropican is safe from the watchful eyes of their rich neighbor anymore.
  
  
• A new Modern military building, the “Overwatchtower”, is now available.
  The Overwatchtower is an improved and modernized version of the World War Watchtower. The buildings new work modes offer the ability to uncover hidden roles of specific agents with a high chance or all hidden roles of passing Tropicans with a lower chance.
  Those pesky Tropicans will no longer have a chance to hide in the plain sight of El Presidente.

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.

• 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!
