Banished
Banished: Build Your Own City from Scratch
Welcome to Banished, the engaging city-building strategy game where you lead a group of exiled travelers determined to start anew. Tasked with the survival and prosperity of your people, you'll begin with only the bare essentials—a few belongings, pieces of clothing, and carts. Your initial focus? Survival, especially during the harsh winters.
Resource Management and Survival Strategies
In Banished, every decision impacts your community’s future. Crafting clothes, building shelters, and maintaining fires are vital for survival, but remember, resources are finite. Overharvesting wood, for example, might deplete the deer population essential for food or reduce the forest resources necessary for medicine. Strategic, thoughtful decision-making is key.
Human Resources: The Heart of Your City
While managing physical resources like wood and food is crucial, the true backbone of your city is its people. In Banished, residents are born, age, work, raise families, and eventually pass away. Ensuring their health, happiness, and nourishment is critical for the growth and development of your settlement.
Dynamic Challenges and Adaptable Strategies
Each game scenario in Banished presents unique challenges and random conditions, requiring flexible strategies and adaptation. Resource availability varies with each map, and the skill sets of your people can differ significantly. No two playthroughs are the same, making for a dynamic and replayable experience.
Building a Flourishing Society
To truly thrive, your city must attract new settlers, possibly even drawing back those from your old homeland. With over 20 possible occupations for your people, from farming and hunting to mining and teaching, effectively utilizing each individual's skills is essential for turning your modest settlement into a thriving society.
Prove Your Worth
Show the authorities that exiled you that they made a grave mistake. With determination and the collective effort of your community, build a new home that surpasses the one you were forced to leave.
