Haemimont Games Teases Competitive and Cooperative Multiplayer For Next Tropico

Tropico 3 on the PC released with no multiplayer features, and when the 360 version ships next February, it probably won't include any either.Oh well. Multiplayer's not a necessity. But what about the next entry in the series?

As part of a yet-to-be-published interview I conducted, Nikola Ikonomov of Haemimont Games teased the possibility of both cooperative and competitive multiplayer in the "next Tropico game."

Check out the question and response below:

ME: A rep from Haemimont once said "Tropico was not a competitive game, so a multiplayer mode would've been out of place in Tropico 3." What about a cooperative mode? Was that considered at any point in development?

NIKOLA: Of course we've considered lots of different ideas for a multiplayer mode, but we also knew right from the start that Tropico 3 is primarily a single player experience. Still, a cooperative mode is something very exciting and who knows, maybe for the next Tropico-game we'll consider including a mode where you'll be able to compete against human opponents.

If there's a coop mode in the next title it better also include a "lounge mode" where player dictators can mingle, relax, smoke big fat cuban cigars, and satisfy any number of vices. It's only right, right?
