Description
Banished is a city building game where you control a group of exiled people who are restarting their lives in the wilderness. They have only the clothes on their backs and a cart filled with supplies from their homeland.

The townspeople work, build, get older, have children, and eventually die. Keeping them healthy, happy, and fed are essential to making a successful town grow. Any structure can be built at any time, provided that your people have collected the resources to do so.

There are many occupations that the people can perform from farming, hunting, and blacksmithing, to fishing, teaching, and healing. You can choose to replant forests, mine for iron, and quarry for rock, and more!
  • Build a city with any layout you want with almost no restriction on when, what, and where you build.
  • Keep the population happy and healthy by providing them with food and warm shelter.
  • Watch the town grow as you assign 20 different jobs to build buildings, grow food, craft tools and clothing, and more!

Needs some tweaks

While I overall like this game, there are some issues that make it too frustrating to keep playing. 1. People starve to death while food is sitting in storage. 2. The priority tool clearly doesn't work. I'll raise the priority of a building's construction only to watch workers carrying resources it needs walk right past it and commit the resources to a lower priority project. To be clear, all the resources the project needs are in storage, but the workers will often wait a few seasons or even a year or more before they'll carry the resources to the project so that it can be built. 3. Theoretically, you can do advance planning by putting down a building footprint and then pausing it. In reality, laborers will ignore the pause and again put resources into that project instead of the one they're supposed to be giving the priority. 4. If a tornado hits your town, it will stay there for a considerable time (weeks? months?) slowly chewing up your buildings. Despite it's slow place, your population will walk right into the tornado and get killed. The hang time also means it could be a season or longer before you can start work on replacement buildings. All in all, there's too much luck and not enough skill involved for a game that takes hours to play.

Medieval City Building Survival Game

It's basically a survival game only instead of trying to survive as a character you're trying to survive as a medieval town of exiles, carefully managing resources & infrastructure. I have it on Steam but you can download most mods without Workshop.

Still have flashbacks

As fun as this game is - and it is EXTREMELY fun mind you - I still cannot play it without a certain sense of dread. I still remember my first village in the game. Or rather, what was left of it after the great winter-famine of year 12. Had I only planted the fields sooner. Had I only not made my fisherman a lumberjack. But alas, upwards of 75% of my village died. I suppose what I'm trying to say, is this game WILL punish you for stupidity hehe
