Tropico 5

Very first impressions...

It's brilliant! Great music, lovely colourful graphics and seems to be quite a few new ideas. Runs flawlessly too.
 
It's absolutely brilliant this, slightly clunky in it's UI sometimes and it take some getting used to the new overlay system but it's so, so good. I love the new grid system so much, it makes laying out buildings so much easier and makes for better planning.
 
Campaign seems to let you use the same few islands over and over - big improvement, means you aren't starting from scratch every level (but it doesn't get boring due to the far longer progression of this game through the eras)
 
im hearing there are issues with multi card setups, mainly when the boat comes in and the event camera triggers. At that point, if your running an overlay, you can see the 2nd card totally throttle down and not be used at from that point on...any proof of this guys?
 
can any multi card users, specifically Crossfire users, tell me if your 2nd card stops working after the boat comes in please? I've heard from friends and on certain forums, that this is a huge problem and frames cut massively when the event camera plays.
 
I really like how the buildings look now. Especially since you can have poor places and it doesn't look out of place.
Also things like hotels giving better service because there are old buildings in the vicinity, so that you can develop instead of upgrading all the time :p

Only thing I miss so far is seeing visitors in buildings.
 
I bought this on a whim, but I've not had a chance to play it yet. What disasters are there in this iteration? I understand the previous titles had tornadoes, tsunamis etc?
