![]() The game is rated T for Teen by the ESRB, because of suggestive themes and violence. Tropico 2’s age doesn’t diminish the game’s playability at all, especially since there’s no online multiplayer component, so you don’t have to worry about pitting your newbie skills against more experienced PC gamers. Tropico 2 demands a G4/800MHz or faster Mac with Mac OS X v10.2.8 or later and a 32MB video graphics system - enough for flat panel iMacs and eMacs to handle the game with ease. The good news is that Westlake - which was acquired by MacSoft shortly after this port was completed - has done a competent job on the conversion - it ran quite well on a Tiger-equipped G5. MacSoft took its own sweet time getting Tropico 2 to the Macintosh: It’s been out for the PC since 2003. Graphics, sound and music are all improved over Tropico 2’s predecessor, with up to seven levels of magnification depending on your graphic card’s capabilities, a soundtrack rife with Caribbean music and little details that both interest and engage you as you play. “To shiver me timbers, we must have timber,” he points out, for example. Smitty also can optionally help you during normal gameplay, alerting you of specific problems you might be having and offering suggestions for how to deal with them. It isn’t the same as Sandbox modes you might find in other games, because there’s still an ultimate goal and a set duration, but it’s a ton of fun.Ī tutorial mode gets you up and running and understanding the basics of how your island works, all through the lyrical brogue of your trusty mate Smitty. You can also create a Pirate King of your own liking, if you prefer - balancing specific attributes depending on what you think is important. you can also choose one of more than a dozen and a half different pirates from myth, legend and fiction (everyone from Anne Bonney to William Kidd is represented) - each with unique management styles and strategic strengths and weaknesses. Tropico 2 also features the ability to play single scenarios with a specific goal in mind, such as plundering a certain amount of treasure in a specific time frame.įinally, there’s also a Sandbox mode that lets you customize your island’s topography, vegetation, the stability of your pirates and captives, game lengths and goals. You may be in charge, but for how long? The brigands who populate this land won’t think twice about making you walk the plank if you’re not up to the task. But the actual nitty gritty is left to each captain.Ī campaign mode leads you on a rags-to-riches story as the Pirate King: You’ve escaped a condemned life of toil only to be elected the leader of a burgeoning pirate colony. You can give them general orders, like exploring a specific area, going on a raid, trying to abscond with a tradesperson of particular skills and more, and you can even given them specific strategic advice, like try to board the enemy vessels you encounter or pound the heck out of ‘em with your cannon and teach ‘em a lesson. You can’t do it all yourself, so sailing and plundering on the high seas is left to captains under your command. Or, you can be a brutal and violent leader - assassinating those who get in your way, or committing wholesale executions of captives who hail from enemy lands. You can massage your strategic alliances, swearing fealty to a specific power, or showing amnesty to prisoners of particular national origins, for example, which might curry favor with other powers. The Caribbean is a big area, especially for a little pirate enterprise - in fact, Tropico 2 has divided the region into 18 separate territories, each with strategic alliances to a big European power (England, France and Spain are superpowers). ![]() Nowhere is that more true than in Tropico 2.Īll I ask is a tall ship and a star to sail her by Like they say, it’s not the elephants that bite you most, but the fleas. ![]() Micromanagement has its downsides, too - there’s a ton of details to keep up on, and if you don’t pay attention, you can get swamped pretty easily. ![]()

Originally, her intent had only been to produce a domestic spotted Bengal cat. It was due to the overwhelming popular demand of cat show judges and audiences clamoring to see this amazing marble kitten in Madison Square Garden and all over the country that Jean Mill began campaigning to add the marbled pattern to the Bengal breed standard. ![]() He had the white outline of a butterfly on the top of his head! This first marble kitten was a female, and her coloring was very soft and rust-colored, with a pattern described by Jean as looking like "drizzled caramel". The parents were Millwood Silk n Cinders (a beautiful cat who had the glitter gene from "Tory of Delhi", Jean's rescue domestic kitten from the New Delhi zoo, plus Cinders also had an unusually clear, non-ticked coat, with very large, dark spots) and a cat named Torchbearer. ![]() and other major cat associations recognizing the Bengal, for a marbled pattern Bengal cat?

Rogue waves are generated by wind and are shorter waves. The goal of collecting data is to better understand storm intensity and ocean surges. In the open ocean tsunamis have small wave heights, but in shallow water closer to the coast wave height can increase to 30-60 feet. Adverse weather or natural events often produce larger and potentially hazardous waves. The drone captured seas of 50 feet and winds estimated to be around 140 mph.

If you buy cheap skates, you will replace them. When you are an adult, your feet don’t grow anymore, so when you buy a pair of skates you want to have them for a while. See our skate fitting guide for more details If your shin pads are too small this area will be bigger and you will get hit there with pucks. The right sized shin pads are important, of all the painful areas I get hit, the most common spot is right where the shin pad meets the skate. A good fitting pair is important because if you get a pair that is too big they will always be sagging and hanging from your hips, and if you get a small pair you will look like a new born baby giraffe (plus you will have some vulnerable exposed areas that are not fun to get hit in) Shin Pads The pants protect you from the knees up to the lower back. See our hockey pants fitting guide for more details When picking a set of gloves I have a simple test if I can give a thumbs up and a middle finger they are flexible enough for me □ Hockey Pants ![]() Everyone has their own personal preference when picking out gloves, some want more protection (mostly from hacks and slashes from other players) and others want a lot of freedom. I’m a big fan of gloves, my mitts need to be comfortable and flexible. See our hockey glove fitting guide for more details See our elbow pad fitting guide for more details Gloves A good set of elbow pads will make it much easier to get up and keep practicing When you are learning to skate you will fall a few times, and usually when your feet fly out from under you your elbows take the brunt of the fall. I highly recommend a good pair of elbow pads. ![]() See our Shoulder pad fitting guide for more details Elbow Pads Personally I have not worn them since minor hockey and I know a lot of adult players don’t wear them either, but it’s up to you to make the judgement call on whether to get them or not. If you are a newer player (you will fall!) it is a good idea to get a pair, but if you are low on cash you don’t have to buy them right away. For this reason shoulder pads are not required in a lot of leagues. Most Men’s leagues are non-contact and many do not allow slapshots. If you are a newer player I would suggest starting with one, just to be on the safe side. In the 10+ years I have played adult hockey I have yet to see a neck related injury, however it could happen. ![]() I will be completely honest, most mens league players don’t wear neck guards. There is an off chance that a skate blade could contact your jugular, and that would not be pretty. The neck guard protects your neck (go figure). If you don’t have a good dental plan I recommend a full cage. In the lower leagues you will see a lot of stray sticks and pucks as not everyone has the best control. I play in two leagues and every month or two I see someone leave the ice bleeding because they only wear a half visor or no mask at all. Or a helmet with the gawd-awful cage visor combo (not a popular option).You COULD just buy a helmet and that’s it, however I recommend a full cage. You are not required to wear any facial protection. See our cage / visor guide for more details Believe me, when you’re learning to play you will fall, so get a good quality helmet! As an adult player you have a longer way to fall and more weight pulling you down. See our helmet fitting guide for more detailsĪ helmet is very important, you need to protect your melon.
