Hell, even as "El Presidente of Tropico", I only let in educated immigrants.
Don't ask me how my Rimwold games handle migration.
Is it organ farming for off-world sale?
I bet on organ farming.
Only in arctic climates.
I don't get many nice immigrants, lots of bandits. I may or may not sell survivors into slavery.
See, if I shoot them and can persuade them into accepting my values as they recover, I don't have to enslave them or harvest their organs. I think that's quite liberal of me.
I told you I was a Civic Nationalist u/current_horror
Damn it Jim. I'm a doctor, not a butcher!
I totally get the Tropico reference.
In fact, in past versions (haven't played the latest one), you had to pay for educated migrants with an uptrending fee while the uneducated ones would just constantly show up on your dock with every cargo ship.
Realism
You think that's good, wait until you try to appease the Communists. You can't, and the more you try, they eventually revolt anyway.
I haven't gotten to Tropico, but I should. I think it's on Game Pass, at least a minimal version.
I did the balance the factions thing to some degree in CK3. But I don't know how similar that is.
I was more referring to Tropico 3 (which I played the absolute shit out of), where I could hire very specific foreign workers, but I could craft an "college educated immigrants only" policy as well IIRC.
Ah.
I mostly played 4 & 5.
5 has all immigrants as uneducated unless you mail order for them and pay the freight.
How you describe it is accurate, and hilarious.
As Queen Isabela I, I initiate an inquisition.
