Got to up your high school game man.

I love the hell out of 4, I've played well over 100 hours, beat every mission, and got all the Steam cheevos. I'd say its better than 3 too because 4's got a bunch of QoL improvements and the writing is a lot better, all the cast adds to the game's charm.

5 is crap though, it's practically a lovely RTS because you can't manage stuff like wages anymore so revolts are going to happen no matter what.

I found the budgetary system to be an overall improvement, just executed poorly. What they should have done is embrace the zoning systems that pretty much every other city builder has done in order to reduce un-necessary micromanagement and put the focus of the game on politics. Not to mention the cast is noticeably smaller and tries to pull off too much stuff with too few people

Is this actually true? I never made a gun before

Well, assault rifles are usually faster to build and they have less small parts that require a lot of precise machining since they are designed to be easily mass-produced in case of a real war. Besides that, the civilian market expects a fit and finish that you can leave out on a cheap knock-off of a soviet/belgian rifle.

As for the vote, Choice B

What's the general upsides, downsides to 5 over 4, by the by?

Less micro and multiplayer but also less depth and flavor.

As a Latin American man, living in a country that is still recovering from a dictatorship that ended almost 30 years ago, the way you are all voting for maximum tirany because "ahahaha look at those Tropicans, so miserable, banana republics are funny" is very disturbing.

I am biased, so I withhold my vote.

I'll vote A because playing Tropico that way is a bigger challenge than simply just keeping everyone happy especially since there rarely are events to shake a state after it's gotten it's footing.

B, since there's nothing more traditional in the Caribbean than a tin-pot being replaced by an American three-letter agency's new tin-pot of choice,
