On Tiscali Games are some early details on Tropico 3, the upcoming third installment in the revived strategy series.

Word is the game will be set in a historically accurate depiction of the Cold War, having players step into the shoes of a ruthless or benevolent dictator and design his own island. It will feature a “random play” mode and a free mode that lets the player’s dictator engage in activities like sunbathing or gambling in a casino. The game’s engine is currently being designed with such detail that you will be able to zoom in on laundry hanging on a line.

The game was announced back in November and is currently being developed by Bulgarian developer Haemimont Games.
