I'll jump for Loyalist party leader. Failing that, Military party leader. Surely I've gained enough experience in three separate Alien Wars in all four combat theaters (ground, air, sea, and space) to know how to run a military by now. :P
EDIT: Heh, why not both? :lol:
Is the position of Vice President open? I'd serve you faitfully (for a given defitnition fo faithfull)..and I'd most certanly NOT plot to take over.
If that is not available then
Militarist Leader
Enviromentalist Leader
Palace Guard <-- prolly this. I get to shoot at things. Leaders generally don't tend to do anything.
Starslayer didn’t make it clear what he wanted to be, so I made him a dockworker.
I'm bit confused...couldn't you just made a soldeir a military faction leader? If you can re-name anyone...why pick a farmer?
I'm assuming you don't get to pick faction leaders. That strikes me as, uh, way too easy.This.
Since I clearly can't be a Capitalist Palace Guard in a Communist country, make me a Doctor then.Sorry, I can't really control whom grabs what job beyond firing people and hoping they grab the job I want them to.

Of course.
I never assumed you could. I assumed you could re-name them, not pick someone with high loyalty.
People of Tropico! El Presidente's free housing is a last gasp against the inevitable rise of the working class against him! Do not be fooled by his ostentatious efforts to exhort the workers, for he is a liar and the father of lies!
I am the voice of truth! I shall tell you the truth, the truth El Presidente does not wish you to hear!
(You know, this could actually be fun.)
It's not like they're using political criteria to allow or deny the free housing from any given person.
Looking at your situation, you're going to have a big army, and religious are making problems. My advice is, throw the bible thumpers off the island. If you start appeasing them, they'll only grow in numbers and make more expensive demands. And unlike all the other factions, fulfilling their demands don't give you anything except religious satisfaction for the population (which is not all that important if you don't build churches). I've done this a couple of times and it seemed to work.
My satisfaction with El Presidente is low since he can't spell my name correctly. There also needs to be a bank so I can have a source of laundered money ready for transport to my Swiss bank account.
You dare question El Presidente? :P
Did I get removed from Intellectual leadership again? :sigh:
That aside, this is great fun to watch. Looking forward to see how things turn out.
If you're doing well, 15,000 isn't much, and greens will not cause you trouble as long as you build enough garbage dumps (aside from a botanical garden, their demands aren't expensive). One well placed garbage dump is often all it takes, if you place it early. Also, compared to bible thumpers, their demands don't collide with other factions nearly as much, and they're smaller overall.Looking at your situation, you're going to have a big army, and religious are making problems.

Outlawing a political party costs 15,000 and can only be done once. The environmentalists are looking to also be a major source of trouble, and unlike the religious faction they won't stop growing just because I refuse to give into their demands.
I'm hoping that the religious faction will just slowly die out, for lack of new members. I'm actually hoping some of them will become rebels, just for the sake of making things interesting.
Ah, it's good to see someone with great taste when it comes to hiring overseas mercenary commanders. Just remember El Presidente as long as the pay is good and my soldiers happy, we'll keep the masses suppressed with bullet and bludgeoning.
Have I managed to become a palace guard?
Hmm, tenements. Great housing for the common man, the working people will be very happy with these.[goes back to his mansion] :)
Well, fixed. Military base does indeed provide the best overall housing quality on the island (if well staffed and modernized, on par with actual mansions), but I found that sometimes, soldiers refuse to move into it (I usually build it much later though). Oh, and I'll indeed be forced to complain if too many people get better houses than me. :)
How about living in a tenement right next to the base in question? After being evicted from it multiple times in a row? Also, I have a habit of building extensive road networks, so it's not like he's got a long drive to work.
Why is my avatar so unmotivated? Must be a game bug... Frak it, once you make a college, make me a general. If it's the only way....
Either way, how am I looking stats-wise?
Actually building a church would mean that I have to acknowledge that there is a higher authority on the island then El Presidente. There is no higher authority then El Presidente!

Interesting. A turbine that turns against the wind? Anybody with an adequate college degree would know that turbines that turn with the wind are far more stable, and can generate more electricity than opposing turbines.
These rebels are apparently not very educated...
In anticipation of the upcoming ****storm, to raise morale, and to bolster faith in El Presidente's regime, I will be table dancing. In a corset.

As a policeman, do I get to shoot someone, or just check that no one dumps garbage in the streets?

I was murdered! Ohh...OH!
Just you wait. For this I shall lead a grand rebellion.
Does Mongoose get Firespawn's job?
Where's the "lurking in the jungle plotting El Presidente's downfall" polling station?
Where's the "lurking in the jungle plotting El Presidente's downfall" polling station?In the prison cell of our police station.
If I may step out of character for a moment, it's good to see Tropico doing its part for HLPX-COM.Being a member of a secretive government spy agency ALWAYS entails being involved in shadowy conspiracy theory type stuff. There is no KGB presence in Tropico, Fruitas LTD (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Fruit_Company) is not a cover for CIA operations in the Caribbean (http://tropico.wikia.com/wiki/Fruitas_LTD), that kind of stuff.
Wait, we're way too early for that. You're working with 2k Marin, aren't you?
I'm confused, that's me?, or just another random person on the island?Citizens will often decide to switch jobs if there is a open position for a higher-quality job available. Job quality is determined by wages, the job in question (some jobs are inherently cushier then others), and sometimes other things such as factory upgrades or building work mode.
Unskilled rebels can get torn apart by a single skilled soldier.
So...
Crizza would still like to join if theres a place as oil men, militarist(factory worker) or radar dish operator.
I'm communist Rambo! :lol:
Relax on our rocky, slime-filled beaches! Stop at our coffee bar – because there is no alcohol to be had anywhere on the island!
Fear not, El Presidente! With these new tanks being built and the troops being trained by foreignwar criminalscommandos, the rebelalliancescum will feel the full might ofMother Russia'sThe Empire'sCommander Shepard'sTropico's military! Mark my words, we shall do everything in our power to ensure that the only thing the tourists see of the rebels, is their bloated and fly infested corpses.
Seriously though, as if a llama could get the better of me. Even a three-headed one.
headdie - Retiree
When did I die?
Wow. In the span of a few short years on Tropico, I've managed to go from being a diplomat to an oil worker, and now all of a sudden I'm a KGB Agent. :lol:And now that you are a part of the KGB, there is no leaving alive. It's like the mafia in that regard.
I am the senior KGB agent on this island! If I say your cover hasn't been blown, then it hasn't been blown. If I say that you had an americano hamburger yesterday, then you had an americano hamburger yesterday, even if you really had a taco.
There's a reason why inexperienced agents are sent to my island for training. Better to have them mess up here where we can keep an eye on them then to have them mess up out in the field and not live to learn from their mistake.
Maybe you're not getting financial aid because you're spying on them and selling the information?
note that I have never played the game so I can't be sure.
Can i go back to being that guy that makes our glorious tanks? And i'm the Commi leader too, that's good news yes?

I wonder, why didn't you gave a speech? It's a good way to bump some relations, either foreign or local. And you don't have to promise anything if you don't want to.The game won't let me give one! This particular map seems slightly bugged.
I was having a blast at the station...
suddenly a wild arrest order appears!
and then another.
and then another.
...
tough day.
So, it's game over?
There was not nearly enough threat in this LP.
WE KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE!
There, I fixed it! But more seriously, I think it would have benefited from a higher difficulty or more chaos. It was kind of mechanically unrolling the victory of El Presidente; much like my TFTD one.
Geneforge is an awsome game, and being a fan of Spiderweb in general, you should totally name your creatures after HLPers.
...And when one dies (and they will), you elect a new one as a meatshield. Make me a Cryora.
:D
Clearly... what you must do is make poor life choices for your creatures while not endangering your own... that much.
:p
Hmm... wasn't it so that in Overlord you could rename the minions? Then again it's not that easy to follow who does what even if you could.I don't think so, the first one didn't even had minion names, and I don't remember this being possible in the second one either.

That doesn't change the fact an Overlord LP could be awesome, that game is hilarious.
On an unrelated note, I can't get any screen capture programs to work with Uplink: Hacker Elite. Anyone have any bright ideas?

PrtSc, alt + Tab, save to paint. :nervous:
Overlord isn't an RTS, though it does require quite a bit of thinking. I don't think there's a good name for this genre ("Minion control", perhaps?), but if you know Pikmin, it's sort of like that. Except you're evil. And you control goblin-like minions instead of plants. And it's written by Terry Pratchett's daughter. :)Hmm... wasn't it so that in Overlord you could rename the minions?

I don't care for base RTS clickfest games (like Starcraft or Command & Conquer) at all.
The RTS needs to be either baseless (like in Ground Control, Hostile Waters, or Nexus), or be very different from the norm (AI War: Fleet Command is an RTS I AM willing to play). Instead, I will look into playing Evil Genius as a possibility.
