Any structure can be built at any time, provided that your people have collected the resources to do so. Building new homes is not enough-there must be enough people to move in and have families of their own.īanished has no skill trees. Keeping them healthy, happy, and well-fed are essential to making your town grow. They are born, grow older, work, have children of their own, and eventually die. The townspeople of Banished are your primary resource. They have only the clothes on their backs and a cart filled with supplies from their homeland.

(Oops.) Oh, and since it wouldn't make sense to give you some advance knowledge, the properties of all the plants will be assigned randomly with every new game.In this city-building strategy game, you control a group of exiled travelers who decide to restart their lives in a new land. Are they poisnous? Do they affect your people's health in any way (positive or negative)? Which food group does it belong to? Which temperatures and how long do these plants need before they're ripe and ready for harvest? You will have to find out either by analyzing the seeds (only possible in the future scenario) or by trial and error. However, you don't know much about the plants. (Australia, anyone?)Īn interesting potential mechanic for both scenarios: You don't need to buy seeds from a trader - you can cultivate them from what you find on the new planet/continent. Your people live in the 17th/18th century and have been banished on a new continent where they need to survive. Your people live in 2450 and have been banished on a habitable planet where they need to survive. Maybe a colonial sim based around the design & engine for Banished but styled after Anno 2205 & 1800? I think it would be cool, however, if the dev expanded his horizons though. Theoretically, you accomplish that, so no need for a sequel, or at least not 'Banished 2'. The story is that you & yours got banished from your medieval town/kingdom/whatever & you have to create a new life out in the middle of medieval nowhere. Don't get me wrong, I love this one & I would love to see more similar games from the dev, but not a series about banished.
