Controls

[Isshy]

Hi. I just got Trocpico 2 yestreday and I am having some dufficulty figuring out some controls such as how do you tell a captive what do do and how do you kill a disgruntled pirate? Is there a page i could look up stuff like this? (By the way I'm on a Mac).

Thanks.

how do you tell a captive what do do

  Unemployed captives take jobs wherever there are vacancies.  The only way of moving them is by firing them then others take the job (unless you close it off),  or press-ganging (converting into a pirate).

kill a disgruntled pirate

  There is an edict to assissinate any character.  Problem with this is costs $100 and takes time,  and sometimes the target kills the assassin.  Easier to give the $100 to the pirate (edict: donate money to pirate,  there is a shortcut button top right in the window when the pirate is selected);  they will spend most of it quickly.

  You could issue the edict betray all pirates of the same nation as the disgruntled pirates.  OK if there are few pirates of that nation;  you also get improved diplomatic relations with that nation.  Beware,  captains of that nation are killed too if they are not at sea.

Is there a page i could look up stuff like this

  I got a small manual booklet with my Tropico2,  and played the campaign.

Ya I read the manual but like many game manuals it says 'You can do___' but doesn't always tell you HOW to physically accomplish that task with the keyboard and mouse. I have since figured it out. Thanks for the input on the newb question.
