Banished

More about Banished

Banished is a city-building strategy game where players manage a group of exiled travelers restarting their lives in a new land. They begin with minimal resources: only clothes and a cart of supplies from their homeland. The townspeople serve as the primary resource, requiring careful management of health, happiness, and sustenance to grow the town. Players must balance resource collection, construction, and trade with merchants who bring goods but also risks like disease. There are twenty occupations, no skill trees, and strategic choices like replanting forests or mining affect town growth without expanding space. Success depends on managing risks and resources effectively across varying map conditions.
