Tropico 5: Gone Green

What New Content Does This DLC Introduce?

This specific addition centers around an environmental theme, challenging El Presidente to manage the island's reputation and finances while embracing sustainability. The core narrative hook involves the need to clean up the island's image, which has been tarnished by excessive crude oil exports funding the leader's Swiss bank account.

Key Additions for Island Management

The primary gameplay enhancement is the introduction of new infrastructure to support this green initiative:

Players gain access to a new structure designed to facilitate renewable energy production, specifically the eco• friendly windfarm. This building serves as a cheap and renewable energy source, allowing players to shift away from traditional power generation methods.

New Scenario and Environment

Beyond the new building, the DLC includes a new standalone scenario. This scenario provides a dedicated narrative experience where the goal is explicitly tied to transforming Tropico into a "positive showcase of modern sustainability." This offers a fresh set of objectives and challenges within the familiar Tropico 5 engine. Furthermore, a new sandbox map is included for players wishing to experiment with the new mechanics in an open-ended setting.

Aesthetic and Customization Updates

To complement the theme, the package also includes minor cosmetic and atmospheric updates:

• A new music track to enhance the island ambiance.
• Additional voice recordings to flesh out the scenario narrative.
• A new accessory for the dynasty avatar, allowing players to customize El Presidente's appearance to match their new eco-conscious direction.

How Does This DLC Integrate with the Base Game?

As a DLC, this content is an extension of Tropico 5. The new building, the windfarm, will be accessible within the existing construction menus of the base game once installed, provided the game mode supports it. The new scenario is accessed via the main menu options for starting new games or missions. The scope of this content is focused, adding specific tools and a narrative challenge rather than introducing massive, system-altering overhauls comparable to a full expansion pack.

What Platforms Support This Content?

This content was released for the platforms supporting the parent game, Tropico 5: Linux, PC (Microsoft Windows), and Mac. It was originally released in February 2015.
