Banished (PC) - Steam Geschenk - GLOBAL

Banished is a strategy game in which you lead a group of people who have been banished from their hometown and help them establish a new place to live in. All they have is their clothes and a few carts with basic resources. Your goal is to build a prosperous village where basic needs are quickly met. You can then move on to create a great nation of happy healthy people. In order to achieve this goal you need to take care of all survival needs and withstand any natural disasters

The townspeople of Banished are your primary resource. They are born, grow older, work, have children of their own, and eventually die. Keeping them healthy, happy, and well-fed are essential to making your town grow. Building new homes is not enough—there must be enough people to move in and have families of their own.
Banished has no skill trees. Any structure can be built at any time, provided that your people have collected the resources to do so. There is no money. Instead, your hard-earned resources can be bartered away with the arrival of trade vessels. These merchants are the key to adding livestock and annual crops to the townspeople’s diet; however, their lengthy trade route comes with the risk of bringing illnesses from abroad.

There are twenty different occupations that the people in the city can perform from farming, hunting, and blacksmithing, to mining, teaching, and healing. No single strategy will succeed for every town. Some resources may be more scarce from one map to the next. The player can choose to replant forests, mine for iron, and quarry for rock, but all these choices require setting aside space into which you cannot expand.

The success or failure of a town depends on the appropriate management of risks and resources.

Key features:

• Banished gameplay – though the game is based on other similar strategies, this one is much more demanding. Every decision you make may lead to deadly consequences.


• Changing weather conditions – make sure you prepare warm clothes, collect firewood and build proper houses for your citizens as winter approaches.


• Resource management – if you cut too much wood it may result in wild animal population decrease, too much fishing will lead to the extinction of marine life . If you overuse the fields they will yield lower crops. Proper management of natural resources is the key to success


• Outsiders – you may encounter nomads who will want to join your community. They will increase your population but may bring a plague that will decimate your people.


• Being a leader – it’s a hard job. Your people will grow up, have children and die. Effective management of resources is vital, as there are no character development trees – the right amount of gathered resources enable you to build any structure.
