As an all-powerful dictator, each player of "Tropico" manipulates resources to create his own thriving Caribbean paradise, while lining his personal Swiss bank account. The "Paradise Island" expansion pack features new scenarios, people, vehicles and buildings to increase the power of El Presidente and intensify his lust for power.
With the expansion pack, the disastrous effects of tropical weather force players to bow to Mother Nature’s will. Her fury abounds in the form of hurricanes and tropical storms, hoof and mouth disease and red tide. These disasters translate into both economic and human losses. Fragile buildings crumble, including homes, docks and bunkhouses. Crops are lost and morale decreases. As El Presidente, the player must restore the island’s beauty and the people’s faith in him.
