This one of few reviews i've written so bare with me.

This game is exceptionly great. It is a great follow up to Gettysburg. The devs may be russian but they are very transparent with thier work, and they reach out to the community for feedback on new updates and what should be included in the future. Something that most game developers lack these days (And they update frequently). For the game itself there are few drawbacks but we will get back to that. But first the good things about this game.

It greatly protrays the civil war, what happens in the battles in game could've easily happend in real life. And if you know your history you can easily make what happens be some what historical.

The ai is not perfect, but this is ai were talking about and for the company and the game I think the ai is beautiful. They dont make to to many odd choices. You can find the ai choosing to leave its cannon behind and retreating it's infantry but once again its ai.

The graphics are beautiful, it fits the game perfectly. It's not "ultra realistic" But it doesnt need to be, if it was I feel like the game wouldnt be as good as it is now.

The mechanics are great, you can do a lot with your soldiers and sometimes if they are too tired or are scared they wont follow orders which is just amazing. The addative to supply makes you have to plan out your battles a lot more indepth as you need to get all your divisions and cannons supply. The ability to create your army is so fun and it makes you feel more attached to your soldiers and leaders, making you question if you should charge that unit with 16 cannons.

There's a lot more than I will list here but now for the complaints.

The inabiliy to rotate the camera really bums me out but from what the devs say the way they textured the world it sounds like its not textured on the other side.

There are a few bugs still that can be a bit odd such as a unit deciding to have a seziure collectively.

The tutorial is just a bunch of reading, luckily ive played gettysburg so I knew what I was doing but for a new player an interactive tutorial would be quite handy.

The clock can be confusing as non of the speeds actually last one second.

All in All 9.8/10

Now that was long so I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope you feel like this was informative and well formated. I also hope you buy this game and enjoy it as much as I do.

I am new to the Tropico series so I cant say much about which game is better Tropico 5 or 4, however i have played this game enough to the point where I can make a good review,

Pros:
Very easy to learn and play
Nice casual gameplay, and just a beautiful city builder
The movement through the "eras" is very smooth with each "era" having its own set of challenges starting with leaving the grasp of the UK
The Trading system is well balanced with effects on who you trade with
The game can be differnt from island to island especially with the random generato feature
The music in this game is brilliant and the added radio host is just awesome
The dlc's arent like huge updates just mini addons that can be used to have some fun
Its really easy to RP with your dynasties and have some problemed leaders and some amazing leaders
Coruption is great
Citizens have their own opinons and alot of info on them, if you dont like them execute them


Cons:
MY BIGGEST COMPALINT: Houses are all the same and can be extreamly repetitive
Combat is a bit difficult to use and it can be annyoing
Now that i think of it, all buildings are the same and can get repetitve
It is impossible to mod atleast from the steam workshop
Tourism is a bit odd at first
The map creator is extreamly difficult
The campaign is very poorly laid out and confusing


I know thats not alot of cons but that first one is my biggest complaint as it ruins my immersion as thats the best part of a city builder, I enjoy panning out looking at your skyine and just seeing all of those nice beautiful different buildings.


I hope this wasnt to long to read, would i recommend? Only to those who really love city builders and can ignore "cookie cutter" settlements

This game is just great, I love the history (i have been studying WWII since I was 5) I love the mechanics and I love how no 2 games are alike. AI is a but lacking in some areas but I (and I hope everyone else) can look over that. The ability to play as any country from Germany to Tana Tuva just adds so much more to the game. The graphics are great the depth is amazing and the music is just beautiful. I recommend it to any strategy player. A well deserved 9.9/10

Is there a way to comepletly restart
