About the game
You can see in the FAQ here that they are very clear about it too:
If you need further clarifiation, the official website announcement lists Linux very clearly too.
Features
It's due for release next year, so while we have some time to wait it's fantastic to see Linux continue to be supported by Kalypso Media. This time around, Limbic Entertainment will be developing the game, who previously worked on a Might & Magic title.

This time around, Limbic Entertainment will be developing the game, who previously worked on a Might & Magic title.It's actually a HoMM game, the title confusion comes from the Ubisoft manipulating with the title ;)

Limbic did both. They were one of several teams that worked on HoMM VI, then they made Might & Magic X: Legacy, then they made HoMM VII.This time around, Limbic Entertainment will be developing the game, who previously worked on a Might & Magic title.It's actually a HoMM game, the title confusion comes from the Ubisoft manipulating with the title ;)

I hope it will be good.
Recall Tropico 5 had weird DLC like Cheese Factory.

The new features are bold. It looks like either it fixes some of the traffic issues we had in tropico, or it will make it a whole new game, taking another step away from what made the early tropico games great. I would love another tropico game supporting linux though.

I have every Tropico game available in my Steam collection & I keep meaning to play Tropico 5 but I keep getting waylaid by other games like Mad Max & Shadow of Mordor. Would I be missing a lot with only the base game of Tropico 5?

(...) Would I be missing a lot with only the base game of Tropico 5?I played only the base game without DLCs, completed the campaign and it was really fun. DLCs are purely optional.

Would I be missing a lot with only the base game of Tropico 5?I finished the base game without DLCs and that was fun. Then I bought all the DLCs, started on the water campagin and stopped playing because I didn't find it as fun any more. I think the DLCs probably add to the game, but not enough if you have started to get bored with the base game.

I just added all the DLC so hopefully I haven't just ruined it for myself before actually playing it. :D

Hello everyone!
But....PC stands for Personal Computer. When will everybody not knowing it learn pc=\=windows?
This has always drove me nuts as well. The word PC does not tell you the operating system, or even the system architecture(x86,x64,ppc,mips,arm,etc.). This seems to be a recent problem as I remember getting games in the 80's into the 90's that stated things like "DOS PC" or "Windows PC" or even Tandy/IBM PC compatible.
Anyway, Can't wait for the release. The Tropico series is great and unique in the city builder / empire builder genre.
