Banished is a city-building strategy game where players guide exiled settlers to build a new life in a new land. Players manage their townspeople, who are born, grow, work, raise families, and eventually pass away. Ensuring their health, happiness, and nourishment is crucial for town growth. The game features no skill trees or money; instead, resources are used to construct buildings and traded with visiting merchants for livestock and crops. Twenty different occupations allow townspeople to contribute in various ways, from farming and hunting to mining, teaching, and healing. Resource availability varies across maps, requiring players to make strategic decisions about land use for activities like reforestation, mining, or quarrying. Success hinges on balancing risks and resource management.
