Bracknell, UK – 15th November 2012 –
PC fans of
Tropico 4 rejoice, as today Kalypso has released
another batch of downloadable content for the game! Today, we are
pleased to unveil the
Megalopolis DLC pack, which includes a new
campaign, new avatar clothing and more.
The
Megalopolis DLC is available to download
now through various digital portals and the Kalypso Launcher
for £3.49/€3.99. The
Megalopolis DLC will be available later this year
for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from
Microsoft.
The
Megalopolis DLC is compatible with the original
version of
Tropico 4 for Windows PC, and
Tropico 4 Gold Edition.
Megalopolis DLC contents -
Build the largest city in the Caribbean! It’s up to
you to decide how to deal with the problems that come with a
massive influx of immigrants looking to join your society.
Manage issues like unemployment, over-population and food
shortages. Make use of the Conventillo, a cheap new residential
building that maximizes living space at a minimal cost. As El
Presidente, try on a decidedly more old-fashioned suit and spice it
up with a classic monocle and mayoral necklace. The new
bureaucrat trait helps you build cheaper residential buildings and
earn bigger profits with the “building permit”
edict.
- New building: Conventillo : Cheap housing with plenty of room
to spare, but degrades over time and has to be frequently
repaired
- New trait: Bureaucrat: Build cheaper residential buildings
while earning more profits from the new “building
permit” edict
- New outfit: Mayor (male avatar), includes monocle, dress suit
and special necklace
- New mission: Megalopolis
Tropico 4 sees you return as El Presidente,
the tyrannical (or benevolent) dictator of the island paradise of
Tropico. The world is changing and Tropico is moving with the times
– geographical powers rise and fall and the world market is
dominated by new players with new demands and offers – and
you, as El Presidente, face a whole new set of challenges. If you
are to triumph over your naysayers you will need to gain as much
support from your people as possible. Your decisions will shape the
future of your nation, and more importantly the size of your Swiss
bank account.
Tropico 4 features all new missions across
new maps and includes exciting and fun new features to keep the
action fresh and challenging. You can even elect ministers into
power to help get your more controversial decisions passed through
the government. But remember to keep your friends close and your
enemies closer as everyone has an agenda!
