Intro
Welcome to the Cold War Era Tropico 5 Guide!

This is a quick overview of the complete guide: Tropico 5 guide: Cold War era[www.gameplayinside.com]

The complete guide includes more text and suggestions. This is meant as a quick ingame reference.
Concept
Industry profit
Raw resources
Best technologies
So what are the best techs in the Cold War era? I suggest you try to get The Wheel as quick as possible. Do this by researching Executives, Oil, Democracy and Sliced bread.

For a full list of commented techs see Tropico 5 Guide Cold War Technologies[www.gameplayinside.com].
Best edicts
I recommend the following edicts:
  • Big Brother: Reduces crime.
  • Waste sorting: Reduces pollution and thus environment and thus happyness.
  • Geological survay: Adds a ton of resources to all non-depleted deposits.
  • Immunization campaign: Improve your healthcare.

For a full list of commented edicts check Tropico 5 Guide Cold War Edicts[www.gameplayinside.com].
Summary
So what about the Cold War era?

Well I recommend you "rush" the vehicle factory to earn a LOT of money. After that you can afford the Geological survey and other usefull edicts.

Now we have to make the people happy! Replace ALL your obsolete service buildings. So destroy those churches and replace them with a Cathedral. Destroy those clinics and build new hospitals. That way El Presidente will have high approval ratings!

curious if you've considered pinging the input material value against factory profit? Or does the game take that into account... with the profit calculation?
