Bracknell, UK – 15th August 2013 – Penultimo, the greatest communicator of all time, is pleased to announce that the votes have been counted and verified and we are proud to confirm that the glorious El Presidente will return for a fifth term in power on the island paradise of Tropico! Yes that’s right, Kalypso Media is delighted to announce that Tropico 5, the next instalment of the highly anticipated and critically acclaimed Tropico city-builder series, is currently in development at Haemimont Studios and is slated for a 2014 release. Kalypso will release Tropico 5 on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, Windows PC, Mac and Linux.
Fancy seeing how El Presidente spends his time when not planning his global domination? Check out the brand new Tropico 5 teaser trailer here:
Packed with a whole host of new gameplay features and all new artwork designed from scratch, Tropico 5 takes the series into a new and exciting direction – dynasties!
You, as El Presidente, will first take control of the infamous island of Tropico during early colonial times and then guide it through the centuries as the world changes and moves ever forward. You must tackle the changing needs of your people, as well as opposing governments and factions, and thus lay the foundations for your own dynasty. As you move through your years in office you can promote members of your extended family on the island to positions of power: such as ambassador, commanding general or even Supreme Ruler, to ensure your legacy thrives through the eras. As your influence and wealth grows, so do the threats to your burgeoning island superpower. Can you survive both World Wars, prosper through the Great Depression, rule as an iron-fisted dictator through the Cold War and advance your country to modern times and beyond? From the 19th to the 21st century, each era carries its own challenges and opportunities.
As well as a wealth of other new features, including advanced trading mechanics, technology, scientific research trees and island exploration, Tropico 5 will add cooperative and competitive multiplayer for up to four players for the first time in the series’ history! Viva El Presidente!

What you mean with "natural" ?
It looks very vibrant, which looks nice.
At least this part seems more of a bigger upgrade than T4 to T3
In this case I was talking about the shape of the islands^^ especially the formation of the hills and cliffs and the general geometry are a step forward
A little meh. Tropico games usually get old really quick for me...
Yes they do, I've played them a lot, but just had to stop because every map became the same. Put the same buildings down, try and run the same businesses, use the same policies, etc. It is really repetitive, all of these games are.
Not long enough. I actually like Tropico, but that doesn't change the fact that it's really repetitive. Basically every map is rinse/repeat
Once you get mines rolling, you're basically golden on any map.
Whatever events pop up or issues you have to deal with you've got resources galore to deal with it.
Signature/Avatar nuking: none (can be changed in your profile)
