Banished - a city-building strategy game
« on: April 25, 2013, 09:26:48 am »

I couldn't find any discussion on the game Banished here. It looks interesting.

"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."

Reminds me a bit of Tropico, though not quite so interesting.

We all make mistakes using the search bar, I suppose.
Indeed. And to be honest, I missed it too when I did the first search. But found it after another try (which I only attempted since I knew I'd seen it before).

Me as well. It was probably the "Banished:" bit. Search is wonky on things like that, I just knew I've seen this.

No problem. I renamed the thread so search can read it.
