Learn how to get in touch with the author for Tropico 5 strategy guide suggestions, error corrections, and general game advice. Don't ask what's already answered!

Hey there! So, you've stumbled upon the contact info section for the Tropico 5 guide. Think of this as the author's way of saying 'hello' and setting some ground rules for how you can reach out. It's pretty standard stuff, honestly, but important to know so you don't annoy the guy who wrote this awesome guide!

First off, the author, Señor Fox, wants to make sure you've actually read the guide before you hit him up. He assumes you've got the game's manual down and know the basic controls. This guide is for strategy, not for teaching you how to move your cursor, you know?

He also mentions that this FAQ is a living document. It's never really 'finished.' People send in suggestions, he finds new tricks, and readers point out his mistakes (which he admits happen!). So, if you've got a brilliant idea or spotted an error, feel free to share it. Just don't expect him to drop everything to update it instantly.

A quick note on terms: when he says 'load,' he's talking about the game's internal unit for measuring stuff like goods and capacity. When he says 'cart,' he's referring to how your workers can haul multiple loads at once. It's mostly for context when talking about money.

Tropico is all about choices, right? You might want a tourist trap, an industrial empire, or a cozy little town. The author leans towards the 'make tons of money' approach, so his advice will reflect that. Keep that in mind as you read his strategies – they're *his* preferred way to play, not necessarily the *only* way.

And the big one: Please, please, please don't email him asking questions that are already answered in the FAQ. He's pretty clear about this – those emails will likely get deleted, and he'll get grumpy. He'll probably mention it again later, but it's worth repeating now. Save yourself (and him) the hassle!
