If you start out as a rum magnate, it makes sense to build an economy on sugar farms.

Your choice of ruler doesn't dictate (oho) how to play, but it will inform it at least. And already, here's where the series is a little different. Quite literally too, since you start every Tropico game by designing an all-powerful ruler to oversee the construction of a society from scratch, selecting backgrounds and traits for a variety of bonuses and restrictions to what you can build or command. Like most of the legendary classic management/building games, its success relied heavily on a colourful personality. It was a dark time, and Tropico shone all the more for it. Real time strategy in general was a dormant power throughout the 2000s, and the most ludicrous, yet somehow loudest voices even insisted that the PC itself was finished as a platform.

When PopTop Software (known for 1998's Railroad Tycoon II, absorbed into Take-Two Interactive before Tropico was finished, and eventually merged into Firaxis Games in 2006) released the first Tropico in 2001, the city building genre was on the cusp of a decline. It's a remarkable series when you look at the timeline.
