Part of the new package offered by Tropico 3: Absolute Power is a smattering of new buildings and landmarks. There are plenty of new options to keep those fickle tourist dollars rolling in including a marina and a Ferris wheel. You’ll also now have to deal with your rubbish and you can even import garbage from elsewhere for a fee of course. The recycling options are pricey but will help to keep your greener citizens from rising up in arms. You have more educational and healthcare options too.

In addition to the new buildings there are tweaks for older structures and the most welcome is a new, smaller version of the garage which was unnecessarily huge in Tropico 3. Continuing the green theme you can also use wind turbines instead of power plants but you’ll need to place them carefully to get maximum benefit. If you prefer a militaristic approach to dictatorship you’ll be excited by the prospect of a weapons factory.
Apart from the functional buildings you can also construct landmarks to give your empire a sense of grandeur. This also helps to give your cities a greater sense of individuality and the towering Jesus Christ, modelled on Rio’s famous statue is particularly enticing. You can even build a golden statue of yourself.
