A quick note before we begin: this DLC has one mission only and can be played quite differently based on the difficulty level selected. Not too many missions are played differently based on the difficulty level for Tropico 6. The only one I can think of is the Better Red Than Dead mission. This video will cover how to complete the hard difficulty perspective, but the tips can be used on the easy and normal difficulty levels. I will try to point out the difficulty differences as they come up.

Speaker A

In this El Ball Del Maravilla mission, you will have to obtain the big DCLL Great Wonder tree, keep adding manure, and watch it grow. Note, I might have to pause the video at various points, especially in the beginning, to explain stuff, as the Colonial Era is the era you can most mess up and have to restart.

Speaker A

in the beginning to explain stuff as the colonial era is the era you can most mess up and have to restart at the start of the map you will start with the bare bones so build a pyac coven library with

Speaker A

At the start of the map, you will start with the bare bones, so build a Pyac Coven Library with high priority construction. Normally, you would change the work modes on the Pyac Coven Construction office for increased efficiency, but these buildings, by changing the work mode, carry a risk of citizens passing away while interacting with them. These options might be okay on easy and normal, but for hard difficulty, population is at a premium, so do not change these values on hard.

Speaker A

easy and normal but for hard difficulty population is at a premium so do not change these values on hard on the Pirate Cove select the big dra skull and a reoccurring loot raid the one that has the sugar in it for the library research

Speaker A

On the Pirate Cove, select the big Dra Skull and a reoccurring loot raid, the one that has the sugar in it. For the library research, select Paper Mill, then Employee of the Month, then Penal Colony. Then build a second Teamsters right away. We do this because quite quickly your Teamsters will get overrun, even if you use the loose load limit work mode, which you should do anyway.

Speaker A

even with the two Teamsters as in the colonial era you only have six workers each for the teamsters and a number of those will be fairing manure to your great Wonder in a little bit you can be a bit more spread out with your

Speaker A

Even with the two Teamsters, as in the Colonial Era, you only have six workers each for the Teamsters, and a number of those will be ferrying manure to your Great Wonder. In a little bit, you can be a bit more spread out with your buildings in easy and normal difficulty, but for hard difficulty, you're going to want to be as compact as possible.

Speaker A

mountain this will allow you to plant trees around these logging camps in a little bit in the squared off area build your paper mill and Printing House on the south side of the island by the fishing Warf build three ranches with

Speaker A

On the top end of the main part of the island, build two logging camps, but don't build them right up against the side of the mountain. This will allow you to plant trees around these logging camps. In a little bit, in the squared-off area, build your Paper Mill and Printing House.

Speaker A

to Max the budget and change the work mode on all those ranches to save the land and get manure generation going now Bu The Palace build one sugar Plantation with the monoculture work mode and one Manure Spreader Max the budget on both

Speaker A

On the south side of the island by the fishing wharf, build three ranches with the crocodile work mode so you get the leather for the Printing House. Make sure you leave a slight gap between the ranch and the Teamsters so that you can use the gap later for the bus garage. Be sure to max the budget and change the work mode on all those ranches to save the land and get manure generation going.

Speaker A

able to complete the demand do it if you can't just decline it it won't hurt you then you can get a new one that you might be able to complete you will need to complete some Lord Windam demands to

Speaker A

Now, by the palace, build one sugar plantation with the monoculture work mode and one manure spreader. Max the budget on both of these buildings. On easy or normal, you can build the rum distillery right now, but on hard difficulty, wait another key.

Speaker A

discount on tree planting and will be especially useful later on planting your 20 trees upon planting your 20 trees you should complete the optional quest with two options as a reward 12 Monon extension on the Mandate or 10,000 on

Speaker A

I want to mention that you will get demands from both Lord Windam and the revolutionaries. If you know you will be able to complete the demand, do it. If you can't, just decline it. It won't hurt you. Then you can get a new one that you might be able to complete. You will need to complete some Lord Windam demands to extend your mandate time, and the revolutionaries can get 10 extra people added to your population, which is key on hard difficulty.

Speaker A

books so do that hopefully you will get a general export trade routee demand from the crown also so pick that also so you can double up in the interim store your sugar up and don't export it around this time but especially on hard

Speaker A

Once you get the logging camps built, select the Reforestation Edict for 5,000. You will get a 50% discount on tree planting, which will be especially useful later on planting your 20 trees. Upon planting your 20 trees, you should complete the optional quest with two options as a reward: 12 months extension on the mandate or 10,000. On every difficulty level, I take the 10K as the money is key early on, especially on hard difficulty.

Speaker A

again after this era is over you should be able to delete the fort completely now we wait for the books to be exported once again once that is complete take the 10,000 always take the 10,000 but on General Lord Windam demands always take

Speaker A

You should then get 10,000 for just having the Paper Mill and the Printing House. Then you should get a prompt to pick an export trade route for books, so do that. Hopefully, you will get a general export trade route demand from the crown also, so pick that also so you can double up.

Speaker A

months as requested in the optional Quest just remember to flip it back to the other work mode once this Quest is done about this time your pyate Cove should return with the great Wonder tree but don't build it right away on hard

Speaker A

In the interim, store your sugar up and don't export it. Around this time, but especially on hard difficulty, you could be attacked by pirates. If this happens, build a fort quickly and max the budget until you defeat the pirates. Then go back and set the budget on the fort to the lowest level, only raising it if the pirates attack again.

Speaker A

middle of the upper Plateau but on hard you're going to want to build it as close to your city center on the upper Plateau as possible the great wonder will act as an entertainment building now you will get a quest to build a

Speaker A

After this era is over, you should be able to delete the fort completely. Now we wait for the books to be exported once again. Once that is complete, take the 10,000. Always take the 10,000, but on general Lord Windam demands, always take the 18-month mandate extension instead of the small 2,000.

Speaker A

buildings and select the bee and flow work mode on both to up the efficiency be sure to plant trees around these buildings and make sure you have upgraded your big Tre skull then you will need to get a

Speaker A

Now on hard difficulty, you should be able to build your rum distillery with the thunder still upgrade. Switch your Paper Mill work mode to the Tropican way, which uses coconut for 12 months as requested in the optional quest. Just remember to flip it back to the other work mode once this quest is done.

Speaker A

Treehouse Max the budget temporarily on the treeh houses and change the work mode on all of to Forest of the tree Once you have completed this Quest you will advance to the world wars era the colonial era was intense the

Speaker A

About this time, your Pyate Cove should return with the Great Wonder tree, but don't build it right away on hard difficulty as you're more than likely not going to have the money. Other difficulties, you should have enough money when it is time to place the big Dra Skull Great Wonder.

Speaker A

world wars era select the Constitution options that all citizens vote and passive estate delete the fort you won't need it research printing house and state loans once Printing House is researched quickly switch the printing house work mode to soft cover as this

Speaker A

On easy and normal, you can build it more in the middle of the upper plateau, but on hard, you're going to want to build it as close to your city center on the upper plateau as possible. The Great Wonder will act as an entertainment building.

Speaker A

important on easy but on normal and hard you should get your fire station clinic and your church built as soon as reasonably possible build a bus garage with stops between the lower and upper parts of the island build more logging camps and

Speaker A

Now you will get a quest to build a beekeeper, herbalist, and treehouse within the range of the big DCLL. So once you have the money, build your beekeeper, which produces sugar naturally, right next to a herbalist, which will act as a clinic for your people. Max the budget on both of these buildings and select the bee and flower work mode on both to up the efficiency.

Speaker A

difficulty build your iron and nickel mines then a steel mill then a weapons Factory on easy and normal you should have enough money slushing around as you shouldn't have to build these build an immigration office to increase your

Speaker A

Be sure to plant trees around these buildings and make sure you have upgraded your big Dra Skull. Then you will need to get a high-efficiency treehouse. The only way I have figured out how to do this is you build a 2x3 block of treehouses right next to each other, and then in the middle of the 2x3 block, build a seventh treehouse.

Speaker A

increase in the growth of your great Wonder tree note that you should keep delivering manure to the great Wonder tree to help it keep growing for the first of these optionals quests build your Forest School within range of the great Wonder tree make sure

Speaker A

Max the budget temporarily on the treehouses and change the work mode on all of them to Forest of the Tree. Once you have completed this quest, you will advance to the World Wars era.

The Colonial Era was intense. The World Wars era is just as bad, just a little less than the Colonial Era, but it's just as bad. I assure you that the Cold War and modern times will be easier, even on hard difficulty.

Speaker A

enough ranches I can say for this Mission build another teamsters and upgrade it on hard difficulty start working on some of the other services like housing Health like with a clinic and a church so that some of those ratings

Speaker A

To start the World Wars era, select the Constitution option that all citizens vote and passive estate. Delete the fort; you won't need it. Research Printing House and State Loans. Once Printing House is researched, quickly switch the Printing House work mode to soft cover, as this will create books without leather.

Speaker A

for the for this era you will be able to pick an upgrade in this case I always pick the nature is fun once you have reached the fun requirement you get to move on to the Cold War era in the Cold War era the game speeds

Speaker A

Then you can change your crocodile ranches to cattle ranches, as you can feed the people with the meat. Be sure to upgrade the Teamsters and get the additional workers. Build your fire station, clinic, and church. This is not as important on easy, but on normal and hard, you should get your fire station, clinic, and your church built as soon as reasonably possible.

Speaker A

to build your tourism keep it basic build it on the North End of the same island so you can connect it with the Metro stations build your two tourist ports a couple snorkel Bays about six hotels with the different work mode to
