Tropico 5

It’s very difficult to get into trouble, as they write above, but testing the level + randomly + more or less good infrastructure is important.

if you completed the last mission on this island without any problems, then:

-leave the radio towers to the very end, they are inexpensive, and finish them with quick construction.
-immediately try to convert your land (cotton/pigs/llamas, etc.) to immediately start exporting and have more money.
-if you finished the last mission with two factories set up for sale, then everything is simple.
-everything possible for export, power plant + 2 rum factories + 3 sugar plantations + purchase of 2-3 ships of sugar.
-at the port (or along the road from the port to the castle), which was given to you, immediately build 8-10 towers with machine guns. also 2 army bases, a commando and an aircraft carrier, but most importantly, towers and at least one base, and then it’s a matter of money.

3/5 of the tasks will have to be completed automatically or almost automatically based on past missions on the island.

If you still get stuck (like me) and are too lazy to replay the entire campaign, do the following:
- we demolish up to 80% of all buildings (both production and housing)
- we leave only the most vital (by the way, they eat corn, even if you have plenty of other things, without it they are not like true Indians =)
- we are building a navy (so that we can somehow fight back, although in my opinion it is very stupid and weak)
- it is highly desirable to surround the main building with towers from the original capital, which they give us, in rows of 2, or on the sides, 10-16 pieces (from the same rebellious and attacking “well-wishers” of countries)
- all the money and attention is on the residents (we look at what is missing and complete the construction; by the way, sometimes it is better to raise wages in a building than to build it anew - the efficiency of this can be even higher)
- we are trying to gradually equalize the economy, and monitor trade in the ports, in the hope of finding a good export option with high payments
- in addition to stabilizing money, we are increasing the level of payment in the towers (so that less people run away from there and can protect) and ports (increasing wages, reducing the duration of the voyage - ships transport goods faster and we get money)
- well, then we’ll gradually upset everything

Very good advice on the construction of expensive buildings in mission 11 (where you need to collect a million), but alas, I read about it when I got there...

Yes, this is a long time, not an hour or two, depending on the severity of your indiscretion in the early games on this map. But this is clearly much faster than going through the entire campaign again. (As an example, everything was very bad for me - the economy was in rapid decline, constant population riots, constant attacks from other countries)
