Hey Gang,

I thought this was interesting.  A Tropico 3 AP player has passed 2000 inhabitants on their island with the 2.1 patch.  2054 according the provided screenshot.  So I suppose if you like really large island layouts and have a computer that can handle it, you may well want to get the 2.1 patch.

Here is the thread:

Personally, I haven't played T3AP in a very long time now, and from what I remember of playing, I don't think my islands ever got much over about 800 people.  Also back then I think the limit was like 800, and then raised to 1200, and now apparently over 2000.

Good things, and my guess is to foster that sense of community for Tropico 4 and of course it's a great selling tool to raise the hard cap limit for the population.  I'd be much more inclined to buy the Tropico 4 knowing that I can have 2000+ population (even if I never my population never gets that high) rather than be limited to 800.

Thanks for the post. I defenitly wasn't aware of this. IMO, SinCity is the only actual city builder with CivCity taking second place. Of course with Tropico there just isn't room to build a metropolis so to speak but, 2,000 I would consider a city for Tropico.

Although there is no agreement on how a city is distinguished from a town within general English language meanings, my thinking would place a city over 20,000 and a town under 20,000. Of course that's just me. In the US, a population of 50,000 or greater has been used as a de facto standard in the United States to define a metropolis.

The other thing that just slipped on by me when I reposted this screenshot, is the absence of major traffic jams in this screenshot.  I suppose it could just be the time of day that the shot was taken or his road networks are better than anything I was using with only 800 people.

My largest T3AP city was 1,200...no lag, beautiflly organic city growth and completely covering my island....

pat!

The T4 islands are doubled in size, and there is an editor which has terriforming capabilities -- among the rest of initial building placement, etc.

IMHO, it wasn't the citizen population restriction that was so much a killer as it was the tourist population limit. You can build for many, many more tourists than will ever show-up.

Is there any information on this editor, and it's full range of capabilities?

SORRY!

Everything I see indicates that the "officials" really are not ready to divulge any hard facts about this "teaser."

All that can be speculated is that everyone knows that the so-called "Challenge Editor" that came with T3 was so BUG packed that no one could get it work in any comprehensive way. Most of the player produced "challenges" are crudely simple and "linear" (I think that is the latest buz-word); and unreliable from crashes.

So if they don't publish something that is a whole lot better, their "Tropico" boat will sink.

IMHO, it will be most interesting to see how the promoted "terriforming" feature will work.

Time is running short to turn some reviewers loose on it!
