When you consider the cheap DLC, yes... but even then, it's not much of an expansion beetnemesis Send a noteboard - 25/07/2012 08:16:03 PM
It's more like they just moved some stuff around?

Like, edicts. In Tropico 3 you could issue "Edicts" that would do certain things. Literacy Program, Book Burning, Development Aid, and a bunch more.

Tropico 4 has almost identical edicts- something like 95% are the same in both name and function- but they're split up into "Ministers." In order to issue an edict, you have to build a Ministry building, and hire Ministers for the various cabinet positions. So, a Tropican with some teaching experience could become Minster of Education, and so on.

It's a neat system, but it doesn't really ADD anything, if you get what I'm saying.

So it was easily worth the 5 bucks I paid for it on Steam, but I'd be annoyed if I had shelled out 60 when it first game out.

Edit- Some more stuff:

Foreign politics are a bit broader- They added China, the Middle East, and the EU as kind of "minor powers" (i.e. they won't invade like US or Russia, but they can still help you out).

The interface is a bit more streamlined, and it's easier to find information about your nation in the Almanac.
I amuse myself.
