Chapter 1 - Introduction

Welcome to the Cafe Tropico
Game Guide. This guide should be a little different from the other guides out there for Tropico. It has been written by players and fans of Tropico who are dedicated to making the most of the game and passing their knowledge on to others. Many thanks to all who have contributed to this guide via the Cafe Tropico Discussion Forum. Each article is credited to the original author but there are many more who contributed their thoughts and ideas who may not be mentioned. The main list of authors includes the following: Lachrymologist (who started the whole concept), flagator_, Dreamweaver, cluk, animeguru, calm_blue_sea, Mercator.

My hope is that this guide will enhance the Tropico experience for you, whether you are a new or seasoned player. It is intended to be a living document that will be added to as new strategies come to light or are written about in the forum. If you have any additional suggestions or articles you would like to submit, please send them to Cafe Tropico or post them in the Strategy Board.

For other Tropico guides and strategies, pull up a chair to the Cafe Tropico Strategy Table.
