@Alundria thank you for your great support ^.^ @SUSEd the map has limited resources due to the scenario's circumstances (introduced at the start of the scenario) it is quite a challenge, but far easier now than before XD

Well, a wonderful micro-managing Szenario, good Work!

This map has too small number of the offshore oil rigs (3, to be exact). That's bad for the late game expansion.

ahhh @FOX, the developers are working on the duplicate glitch, *it is not a fault of this particular map* I am planning to re-expand the islands (after re-expanding the first island and making more room *previous update*), hopefully when the glitch is clear it will be a fun and challenging experience. Thank you for your feedback @F.O.X !

more frustrating then good, there's so little room that trying to build anything becomes a huge pain in the ass. It doesn't help that there is a duplicate glitch, not only do I get duplicate missions but I get duable protests and I skiped the axis and allies and went to the cold war. I cant recomend this even for hardcore players untill the dublicate glitch gets fixed. I understand hard but this is just unfair.

bardzo ładne i klimatyczne miejsce, aż chce się tam być.

@fancybritishgentleman Thank you, the maps is indeed tiny (as the story mentioned: the island used to be a huge mining facility but it was submerged by a tsunami) and the size of the island is one of the main challenges as you would be forced to rely on unconventional forms such as raising food through ranches and wharfs. Resources are very limited and you would have to rely on imports on later eras. The Sister Islands were not made with the purpose of building spacious cities as in vanilla mods, but as a map that challenges the player to see beyond traditional economics (build many plantations and gain money) to adjust to the new land formations (such as people and places adapt to new circumstances ex. tsunami). I bid you good luck on your adventure and I am glad you liked the beauty of the maps!

The map is very tiny in terms of building farms,homes, and other bulidings. The map is great looking, but there are very very small places to build.

Nice !
Cotorra  [author] 28 Jul, 2015 @ 9:09am 
Thank you @LarganWildrop ! The bug you mention is the main problem that is haunting the game right now, which I called double questing. There is no known cure for the bug yet, but if I can find a fix to it I will announce it to the community. If any of you know how to fix the bug, please tell us as well. Thank you all, I am glad you liked Sister Islands Map!

Cheers for the challenge, third time in and I have yet to beat it! Very fun large mission in the humor of Tropico with a bit of the authors own revolutionary personality thrown in.
Small scripting bug I noticed in the first stage where the king rewards inventing the sickle repeatedly.

thank you @Tony12 !

best bro

The "mistery of the duplicate quests" has not been resolved yet. I did find the same bug in some of the vanilla maps. I'll do my best to resolve the issue, I know it can be quite irritating. Thank you all, for letting me know!
Cotorra  [author] 24 Jul, 2015 @ 8:57am 
Thank you, @mikey and @Pelican, I am glad you guys like it! @Thoapzi thank you for your feedback, the island was made as to simulate a real island's challenges within the game's capabilities (such as you mentioned: long travelling distances, limited resources, and volatile terrain). As to the quests, I advise the building of various garages and construction offices near the bridge areas to access the other regions once explored by the army. You can send the army directly to the unexplored region of the third island and it will clear most of the fog. I advise compressing most buildings together in the starting island and having money-bringing buildings such as some lodging camp (for the forests in the mountain) and fishing ports for the various fishing spots. ~Thank you all again, and FEEL FREE to communicate any concerns, ideas, and feedback ~

While the island is beautifully made, and I do appreciate a good challenge, this one seems to be very... restrictive, to say the least.
The biggest issue is the large travelling distance to certain places on the island: since this is the colonial era, there are no cars, and everybody moves a lot slower due to lack of garages, so most of the game is spent waiting for people to travel somewhere. The island portion where you start has barely enough space to build anything, so if you get objectives involving large buildings (plantations, forts, etc.), you might as well restart the game till you get fishing or logging objectives. RNG-based difficulty is never a good idea.
I could try completing this mission by spamming creameries (which take up little space, and use goat milk which I can get plenty of with little space), but the creamery is a DLC building, and I consider it cheating.

The challenge is nice, but please refrain from using large travelling distances to impose the difficulty.

I really like the idea behind this map, and I'm finding it delightfully challenging. The main campaign doesn't really restrict you much outside the Era mechanic, so this is a nice change in difficulty. The multiple quest bug is a bit irritating, I'll hold off on voting until we get some feedback on that.

Beautiful.
Cotorra  [author] 23 Jul, 2015 @ 10:45pm 
Thank you so much @SunYuDai ^.^ Hope you like the map, and let me know on any updates on the mysterious case of the mission repetition!
Sun YuDai 23 Jul, 2015 @ 9:07pm 
@jztemple & @Cotorra Bella, hey, I've been monkeying around in the scripting for a bit working on tropico mods (there's a forum called troppicomodding(dot)com, check it out.) Anyway, from what I can see, the game has a list of generic missions that it pulls perodically based on the current era. There's nothing to prevent duplicates, it's just every so often it'll pull a mission chain and start it. What it pulls is based off of a random generator, which uses a seed value. The fact that you both got the same duplicates leads me to guess that the seed value for an edited map is generated when you edit it, so that everybody after will get the same mission chains. Just a guess, I'm nabbing this pretty-looking map now and will check it out tomorrow.
Cotorra  [author] 23 Jul, 2015 @ 3:05pm 
Oh, interesting, it seems its the game itself as I did not included any tasks of the sort- I too played and it happened the same as well~ I'll check with other islands (vanilla) to see if the problem is game-wide. Thank you @jztemple ^.^
jztemple 23 Jul, 2015 @ 2:56pm 
I played it and lost :( but it was interesting. Has a nice vibe to it. About the only odd thing I noticed was that I got a task to build a library to raise my support from the revolutionaries, then a while after I built it I got another task asking the same thing, to build a new library. Is this intentional?
Cotorra  [author] 23 Jul, 2015 @ 2:24pm 
Thank you @[sH[!]Ne] This is my first mod ever (well, kinda map editing). Glad you liked it!
[sH[!]Ne]  [developer] 23 Jul, 2015 @ 2:16pm 
not bad! :)
