Military uprising and other problems in Tropico 5
I am playing Tropico 5 and I reach till Cold War stage easily. The problem begins here. After few months or years, I lose my military completely. Any one of these happens,
1) An military uprising starts and all defensive units turns against the country. Goes destroying everything. Loyal military units stand 1 against 3.
2) All military buildings go vacant. Even the foreign workers I invite run away in few months.
On my island, I see to it that there is sufficient food. Trade is good. All special citizens are bribed. Rebels are banished. The only problem is that suppply of power is insufficient.
Also I create more than one military building that is unlocked till that period with all ppssible upgrades. I put residentials, educational, religious and entertainment based buildings around militaty base for their well being.
Can anyone suggest something?
Best Answer
After playing over and over few times, I found few reasons to this problem.
1) I set recruitment standard for soldiers as High School grads. But I have inadequate amount of high schools on island to educate people. Thus, jobs remain open till I have enough high school grads.
2) Lack of liberty: I put 4 -5 of each military around each other on single section of island. Like creating a secured army area. This leads to lack of liberty and thus the uprising.
I need to understand how liberty works in Tropico 5 to see which buildings negate the effect of negative liberty around military buildings.
