Fellow Tropicans,

With Update 21.5, we have fixed several uncommon issues that could lead to corrupted savegames, several “Going Viral” DLC specific issues, and an issue that led to very large savegames.
Among other fixes we have also included some balance changes, like the reduced pollution cleansing effect of Inspiring Billboard "Recycle!".

It’s Christmas here in Tropico! Of course, Penultimo is slaving away working at the Palace while El Prez enjoys his Christmas break… What’s this popping up on Penultimo’s Tropicair 8800 PC? An e-mail from El Santa!



Dear Penultimo,

Most important question first: Have you written my Christmas speech yet? The deadline is today! And don’t you dare include something about how I’m going to distribute presents among the Tropicans as El Santa. I guess I can be convinced, as long as I get a llama sled – but don’t buy it with my Swiss bank account! Anyways, I’m going to go on a Christmas vacation to the North Pole soon. I hear they have lots of free space where I could build some “houses” for my political “friends” to reside in. But no heating, that’s too expensive, oh deer!

I don’t know if you’re going to take great care of all business matters while I’m away – but I know you’re getting fired if you don’t!

Happy Holidays,
El Santa.

Ahhh, what would Christmas be without an ever-present El Presidente watching over you? 😊 The Presidential Palace and El Presidentes Community Team Freeky, Kaarl and Lunareiya as well as the entire Tropico 6 team wishes you merry Christmas and happy holidays – and remember: Keep voting for El Prez!
