their island’s industry. The new content for Windows PC is

The Plantador add-on content includes the following -
Get into the plantation business! Construct new plantations for
more workers and larger fields, choose the "Plantador" character
trait for improved agricultural production and export prices,
and wear a sombrero. New decoration items include a water
reservoir, a windmill, flower beds and trees. The mission
"Research" challenges you to build a profitable industry while
researching and unlocking new buildings as you go.

crops such as sugar, tobacco and coffee. The Plantation houses
more workers and has more fields than the normal farm

Tropico 4 sees you return as El Presidente, the tyrannical (or
benevolent) dictator of the island paradise of Tropico. The
world is changing and Tropico is moving with the times –
geographical powers rise and fall and the world market is
dominated by new players with new demands and offers – and you,
as El Presidente, face a whole new set of challenges. If you are
to triumph over your naysayers you will need to gain as much
support from your people as possible. Your decisions will shape
the future of your nation, and more importantly, the size of
your Swiss bank account.
Tropico 4 features all new missions across new maps and includes
exciting and fun new features to keep the action fresh and
challenging. You can even elect ministers into power to help get
your more controversial decisions passed through the government.
But remember to keep your friends close and your enemies closer
as everyone has an agenda!
Tropico 4 also brings a new level of social interaction with the
addition of Facebook and Twitter integration (Windows PC version
only). Post comments on Twitter direct from the game and have
updates go out when you complete missions or unlock new
achievements. You can even take screenshots of your island and
post them on your Tropico 4 Facebook page and compare your
interactive Dictator ranking on the online leaderboards. Every
little bit helps when you are bringing your island into the 21st
Century!
