    Banished: City-building strategy game early 2014

    Found this on steam



    What is Banished?

    Welcome to the world of Banished! In this city-building strategy game, you control a group of exiled travelers who decide to restart their lives in a new land. They have only the clothes on their backs and a cart filled with supplies from their homeland.

    The objective of the game is to keep the population alive and grow it into a successful culture. Options for feeding the people include hunting and gathering, agriculture, trade, and fishing. However, sustainable practices must be considered to survive in the long term.


    Survival

    Surviving the winters will be among your greatest challenges. Your tailors can make clothing, your people can build houses and burn firewood. But necessities have a price—Cutting down forests reduces the deer population you can hunt. Although your foresters can plant new trees, the cures for many diseases can only be found in forests that have existed for decades.

    Farming for many seasons in one place will ruin the soil. Taking fish and game faster than they reproduce will lead to extinction, and your starvation.

    Wandering nomads can join your town to grow the population quickly, but allowing them in increases the chance of illnesses from far off lands!

          That looks amazing. My wife's eyes lit up when I showed her the trailer since she loves these type of games.

              Watched a few hours of gameplay yesterday and I'm definitely looking forward to playing this game.

                Its pretty amazing what one guy has built when compared to big companies. Huge maps, weather system. When a farmer doesn't have a field to work he will do other jobs until he can work he field again rather then doing nothing.

                        Am I the only person playing this? I'd like to hear how everybody else is doing.

                        I'm playing on hard & I was doing as well as I'd ever done, with 55 adults & 8 children (need these people to start breeding). In late autumn a fire broke out and burned ALL of my firewood, forester camp, & wood cutting camp. The mass freeze of year 12 was on.

                          Didn't know this was coming out so soon. I'm going to scoop this up. Just have to make sure the wifey is okay with this purchase. This is definitely a time consumer by the looks of it. I wonder if they'll update/expand this later....

                            The developer is putting together a MOD kit. From the sounds of it, this will be completely open to modding. So like Sim City 4, the community will take this and make it beyond amazing. I'm having a lot of fun with it now.

                            I'm just hoping that one of the first mods will let us control our stock piles a little better.

                              I'm on my 2nd town. I started on hard and was good for 10 years and then I ran out of tools and it went down hill fast. I learned that quarry/Mine is not as efficient as clearing the land and there is no reason to build them for many years, unless you need coal.

                              So my 2nd started out strong but around year 15 I fail to build enough new houses and a third of my population died off from old age. Now in the 20+ years things are going very well again.

                              My lessons

                              1: Mine/Quarry are a waste until you have cleared most of the land around you
                              2: You can never have enough food stored
                              3: You can never have enough firewood
                              4: keep an eye on your population age and add houses slow but steady pace

                              Big help so far

                              Under tools is a question mark button, it has all then help info you'll need
