How to unlock the Cause of Death achievement in Tropico 5 - Definitive Guide
A leader of a faction is considered a special citizen and special citizens have little tags above their head on your map. You can select these people by hovering over them and pressing . There are always a few rebels on your island but it isn’t always known who their rebel leader is and even if he is, he might not be easy to find on your map. It's easier to go the almanac by holding and pressing and go to the politics tab. Now look under rebels and see if the leader is between them. If he/she isn't, you can improve your chances of finding the rebel leader by instating more police or use the "Census" edict. Keep checking your almanac from time to time and once you find the rebel leader give the order to execute him.
Go to the almanac (+) and select the politics tab. Under "rebels" select any person and choose to kill them.
When we find the leader, we save and select “execute.” After receiving the trophy, we load, because almost immediately after the execution there will be an attack by the rebels. You can, of course, not load - fight off the attack and get another trophy - “History will vindicate me” (You survived the rebel attack on the palace)
