Remove "Fourth Dungeon Entrance", Savegames at risk!

Remove the "Fourth Dungeon Entrance", Savegames at risk!


Hi everyone,
[h3]Very important message:[/h3]
Affected are players that played between the 1st and the 5th of october, and built the Dungeon Entrance, which was available in the game too early and not functional.
To ensure your savegames will not be permanently corrupted after the next Update for Tropico 6 on the 12th of October:

Please make sure to remove the "Fourth Dungeon Entrance" from your current maps before October 12th in case you have built it.


You will be able to utilize it again in the future.

We apologize for the inconveniences caused.

However, not all is well... As Tropico prepares for an unprecedented crisis in El Presidente’s latest DLC adventure, Tropico 6 – Going Viral, players must navigate the delicate balance between safeguarding their nation's health and seizing unique opportunities. As the leader of Tropico, you will face unprecedented challenges, including the emergence of deadly diseases, the implementation of quarantine measures, and a political landscape rife with new friends and old enemies. How will you respond when faced with the choice of saving lives or exploiting the chaos for your gain?

  • Pull the strings & keep control in a 4 mission-campaign or fight the diseases on a new multiplayer map.

  • Managing the disease: 9 new buildings will change the way you manage Tropico and how you deal with outbreaks and diseases. Use the Healing Howitzer to speedily distribute the cure to your Tropicans or build the new Colossal Hospital to increase your medical capacities and place Medical Checkpoints on the streets to find infected people.
    In addition, during the campaign a curious quack will also help you manage the disease in Ambrosius’ Magic Hut.
  • Fight the plague in style with new design options for El Presidente & the palace! With new accessories like the plague doctor for El Presidente or the Medical Fencing for your palace, you'll be perfectly prepared.

El Presidente and Penultimo (mostly El Presidente) have also decided to bestow emergency powers of creating and playing in-game mods to the masses. After discussing with the Mod.io ambassadors, El Prez simply couldn’t keep these exciting possibilities from his loyal fans. The mods will be hosted on the Mod.io website and will be downloadable via an in-game menu across the Steam, Microsoft Store, Epic Games Store and GOG versions.

The kit to create these mods has been rolled out for PC for free on the Epic Games Store or can be acquired from El Presidente directly (for a small handling fee of 1,000 Tropican Dollars). A series of videos prepared by Tropico’s Department of Education, hosted on the Kalypso_live Youtube channel, will teach those new to modding how to create mods for Tropico 6.

For more information on the Mod Kit, tips and tricks from the developers, and directions to download, please visit the Kalypso Media Discord Server.
