This was this month's free game on PSN. I've always wanted to play a tropico game. I downloaded it, going to give it a go this weekend.

You won't be disappointed I promise. Look at my post above yours and read that link once you get the hang of the controls.
I suggest doing the tutorial first. It puts you straight into the game if you start campaign. I've played previous games so I wasn't too lost. But it took me a little while to get used to the controls. They changed a few things.
Tropico 4 was easy at the beginning because it told you what buildings to build when you started the game. This kinda just makes you figure it out on your own. Although, I do get a suggestion occasionally about what building to build.
Definitely turn your economy difficulty down. Especially if this is your first city building game. Being in debt is frustrating as hell on this game. You just sit there and wait for that little ship to come and pay you for your exports.
And don't forget about edicts. They can help you get re-elected and/or turn your economy around.
I'm not sure if this is a good strategy or not, but I've done it since Tropico 3... I always have ATLEAST 1 teamster building per dock. I'll occasionally build an extra one. But that's really only if I have 5 docks or more. You shouldn't build a second one until you get a challenge to do so.
Very very fun game. You can play it to kick back and relax. Or you can play it and challenge yourself. It's all how you want to play. Which is why I love these types of games. It's all about how you want to play.
