    I think that Africa has a very few biomes and types of architecture. There aren't big cities, or snow, or old buildings. There aren't different cultures and fractions which represent them. I think that we saw almost everything that Africa could give us in the original game JA3, so why would I want more of the same thing? DLCs have to have some links with the original game, but most of all it has to have something completely new.

    Me too! This is the first game since GTA V that hooked me!

    I wish for more AIM mercs from older JA games or something like Unifnished Business 

    I hope it takes part on some other side of the world. For example, North Korea (Ian Currie, I hope you read this one!), or Cuba, or, at least Balkans(former Yugoslavia). Shooting freaking commies empty heads in a turn-based tactic game (the best one!) — what could be more fun? I would play it permanently forever, I swear!

    There are no real countries in the game.

    I mean examples for imagine countries.

    Actually we need more communism around the game world. Ivan has for good reason anti-capitalist protective gear. 😉

    Now, to the topic at hand - they haven't mentioned anything yet about additional content. The focus now is on fixing bugs and launching the mods tools in two batches.

    I would wager they will wait to see what mods appear and are popular and then try to develop content to the players' preferences.

    I was born in communist country, work in a history society, and now live in other post-communist country so I know what I am tolking about. 

  4. Hi! Even before the game release, there were plenty of jokes about the number of DLC`s for Tropico from these devs. 
    I think there are many people who already want several DLC`s) Have developers got any news about it? 

    My personal hope is that at least one of DLC`s would be about communist's extermination. For example, Cuba or North Korea. Or at least it wouldn't be at Africa

    Initially we began with a system of combining uniforms, different armor and combat gear pieces. Reflecting what the character had equipped. This didn’t turn out as well as we expected. Mercs were hard to distinguish from enemies and looked very similar to each other. Their uniqueness was completely gone from the visual side of the game. We played around with colors and attachments.

    Are we talking about avatar or figure in the game? First is perfect, second is questionable. In JA2 they change with camouflage, for example - and it IS great!

  6. Much more disturbing a number of clothes slots. Where are glasses/night vision goggles? Where is extended ear? Where are, for the Rage sake, backpacks? It doesn't so cool on its own (or is it?=), but it is really great for the gamplay's variaty and tactical opportunetes.  Sorry for offtopic.

    If I saw a profile of someone wearing big, obvious hip-hop jewellery, I wouldn't want to hire them to overthrow the dictator of a war-torn nation. They wouldn't inspire me with confidence.

    True, but even in real wars fighters often customise their outfit with small details. Even in army, not to mention mercs (who don't have uniform). Ofcourse, they wouldn't look like a bunch of ravers under drugs, but some things could be just for fun.

    For me the animated portraits are very important, because they gave the mercs life and atmosphere so that you could easily build a bond with them.

    It is good, but isn't necessary. What makes tham lively, is unique replies and features (like hate for some guns, for example), and it seems to be in the game. IMHO

    Also, looking at the nature of the portraits, I am not sure how they could be animated. They are drawn, rather than rendered, it seems. Unlike the days of JA2, you are not needing to alter a few pixels here and there to change eyebrow positions, make the eyes blink and the mouth move.

    What is anmation for? The portraits always were merc's photo from AIM portfolio. Photos don't blink)

    @alfius : Thank you for the nice overview.

    You are welcome! 
    I think most of the portraits are good, except Viki. Why is she so unseriouse? She is a merc, not a narc. JA always had some humor, but never clowns.
