      ya but the toll roads reduce liberty and if the liberty gets low then youre stuck with a coup and with 1800 people that have no liberty and half have been stripped of their right to vote (putting wealthy only vote reduces liberty and makes the non wealthy citizens more likely to start a coup) a coup is a quick way to lose (especially a military coup). not to mention the fact that his emigration policy forces all those who dont approve of him to stay (this reduces overall approval because the number of people that dislike him can go up but not down and the policy itself reduces liberty as well making it even worse). i bet that if the difficulty (the political difficulty in particular) were up high this wouldnt even work. i noticed that when he was doing a runthrough to show exploits in the monopoly game he showed the camera that he was putting it on the hardest difficulty but with this one he didnt. i bet this one is set on easy and thats the real reason this trick worked.

    I can use the infinite money setting when making a sandbox island, but I don't like doing it. It makes it more difficult to gage how much your actually earning. That said, I do miss being able to make Trillions in one boat shipment, like I could in Tropico 4. It doesn't feel right, only being able to make around 8M towards the end of the Era. Not when you see small countries making Billions in the real world and larger countries making Trillions. The balance feels off for Tropico 5 and 6 compared to what you should be making if the developers want it to have a more real world feel.

      Man, these brutal dictatorship sims disguised as city builders have come a long way from when I was 11 and playing a Soviet themed one every afternoon after primary school, some 10 years ago now. I'll have to try one of the latest ones myself, I've mostly been playing more grown up strategy games and vaguely keeping up with the large scale simulation scene through videos like Spiff's.
