Started with the original Tropico when it first came out, just downloaded Tropico 4 to play over the holidays based on some feedback that 4 had less complex and more fun gameplay than 6. Any perspective on which is the best in the series?

I've put a bunch of hours into 3 4 5 and 6. I'd rank them 4 > 6 > 5 > 3. 4 is clearly the best though, everything just seems to hit the perfect balance between simple fun and complexity, and the writing and character rpg elements made me want to play with different play styles. 6 is big, but I find myself getting bored in the middle game. 3 and 5 are just worse than 4 in essentially every way. All are fun though.
