Taverns often need fruit to produce merry drink, which is where the aforementioned orchards come into play to produce said fruit. Along with graveyards, you can also build chapels and taverns to boost the happiness of your villagers. They don’t procreate long enough and you’ll see more people dying than being born, and that can spell disaster for supporting the needs of everyone in your town. If your villagers become too unhappy, they won’t procreate.
When it comes to the inevitable death of some of your townsfolk, those still among the living will begin to feel sad if you’ve not built a graveyard to bury the deceased. Winter will come, and without enough firewood they can freeze to death, which is clearly against the prime goal-to grow your town’s population and keep it stable and the people happy. On harder difficulties, you have to cycle what crops you put where, as crops or orchards with similar produce may become infested and can affect nearby crops if not promptly taken care of.Įventually your resources will run out, or to put it more accurately, be too far from your town to warrant sending people out that far, which is when things like mines and quarries must be built to keep bringing in stone and iron, and more foresters to insure you can provide wood to the town’s woodcutter. Orchards are less important to begin with, but do eventually grow in usefulness. Crop fields are the most immediately helpful, and depending on what difficulty you chose, you may have multiple types of seeds to start with. You can get resources from the surrounding environment, and it’s wise to build things like forester structures, to gather wood, and herbalist huts, which will provide basic health care to your villagers. There are a number of different things you can construct, but the most important ones will always be food and shelter. The further you get each time you try, the more you learn about what works and what doesn’t. Banished is a game with an initial learning curve that, when you finally get over it, can be quite satisfying. If you skip the tutorials, you’ll likely have no idea what you’re doing and you’ll fail. You could try the tutorial first, but if you’re like me, you start blind and see what you can figure out. In the very beginning, you’ll be put in charge of a town in the center of a large expanse of untamed wilderness with a small settlement to start with.
GameplayĪ variety of handy information about your village is always at your disposal. You’re just dropped in with no pomp and circumstance or reason as to why your town exists or where your villagers came from, only that you’re now in charge of managing their survival. Banished, an indie game by Shining Rock Software, takes you back to a simpler and more difficult era where you must hoard basic resources like food, stone, and iron in order to survive. Harsh conditions, cold winters, and an overall lack of modern comforts we take for granted today– it’s a wonder that mankind ever tamed any of it at all.
