Quests

Quests in Cartel Tycoon come in two forms, Story and Lieutenant Loyalty.

In the "Story Mode" missions you will be tasked with missions that help to guide you along the story. These missions serve a variety of purposes from acting as a de facto tutorial in the first mission, spotlighting more advanced mechanics, and, in the latter missions, providing challenge, novelty, and humor. These must be completed to move forward in the Story.

After completing the opening "tutorial" quests in the first mission, and any time in other missions or Sandbox and Survival modes, you will receive missions from your lieutenants from time to time. These will range from Requests ("We should build more warehouses!"), Problems, ("The Taxman has been watching more closely recently. What should we do?!"), Discoveries ("We found this abandoned lab in the jungle. What should we do with the parts?"), and Opportunities ("A pharma company wants to buy a bulk shipment of opium."). Each quest will be brought to you by a lieutenant in your cartel and the Capo will have an opportunity to choose how they would like to handle the situation. Usually this manifests as the options to meet the lieutenant's expectations, exceed the lieutenant's expectations, or refuse. Windfall situations like finding a lab in the jungle or finding money often manifest as the option to help yourself or to help the community, increasing loyalty.

## Tips

* Story Missions should be seen as guidance, not a rule of "what to do next." Unless it is timed, a mission should never come at the expense of your Cartel. If completing a mission's objectives seems difficult or likely to put you in a position you are not ready for, wait. Launder some more money, hire some stronger lieutenants, wait for Terror to go down, etc, and move forward when you are ready. Take your time, have fun.
* The first mission "Needs and Fears" has three starting Capos you can unlock by completing the mission in different ways. The mission has two parts, a de facto tutorial culminating in \*SPOILERS\* your trainer, Miguel, blackmailing you for 40k dollars. How you choose to solve this issue will determine what quest follows, and three of those options result in unlocking a new Capo to play as in Sandbox or Survival.
	+ Opportunity Knocks - To unlock the talented and handsome Manolo you will need to complete the "Opportunity Knocks" quest. When Miguel asks for the 40k you "owe" him, tell him he will get his money. It needs to be clean money, so make sure you have a competent laundering setup. After paying him, you will receive the "Opportunity Knocks" quest line. Complete this quest to finish the story mission and unlock Manolo Velasco for Sandbox and Survival.
	+ Idle Hands - To unlock the tough and surprisingly useful Roberto Montaño, you must complete the "Idle Hands" quest. After Miguel asks for the 40k you "owe" him, tell him he "will get what's coming to him...". This will start a quest to kill Miguel. Do so. Vanessa Diaz Venji is available to hire from early in the mission and has the assassination skill you can use to kill him, otherwise you can send him into a fight with an enemy gang that he cannot win. Note: You want him dead, not arrested, so make sure to have him lose to an enemy gang rather than the police. Once Miguel is dead, you will begin the "Idle Hands" quest. Complete this quest to finish the story mission and unlock Roberto Montaño for Survival and Sandbox.
	+ The Wonders of Science - To unlock the master scientist Wagner Castrillon, you must complete the "The Wonders of Science" quest. This one is slightly more complicated than the other two. For this both Cesar and Miguel must be killed, but make sure to follow the following order of operations carefully. When Miguel asks you to pay the 40k you "owe" tell him that he "will get what's coming to him...". This will start a quest to kill Miguel. Do NOT do so. The quest is timed, so just wait it out. When the timer ends, Miguel will kill Cesar and become Capo. This will start an unrelated quest (that does not unlock a Capo) for Miguel to sell Cocaine to American movie stars. Instead of doing this quest, kill Miguel. Vanessa Diaz Venji is available to hire from early in the mission and has the assassination skill you can use to kill him, otherwise you can send him into a fight with an enemy gang that he cannot win. Note: You want him dead, not arrested, so make sure to have him lose to an enemy gang rather than the police. Once both Cesar and Miguel are dead you will be prompted to promote a Lieutenant to Capo. This new Capo will get a quest called "The Wonder's of Science". Complete this quest to finish the story mission and unlock Wagner Castrillon in Sandbox and Survival.
