It's incredibly easy for a town to crash and burn, and once famine or hypothermia or disease begins to decimate your populace the domino effect will make it hard to recover.Įventually, all towns will fail. Each new home you build allows for a new couple to move in, and since your villagers breed like rabbits, it's crucial to not expand too quickly, as you'll soon have too many mouths to feed and not enough food to go around.
Maintaining a careful balance of jobs and resources is crucial to avoid having your town fail before you can get it off the ground. This makes it hard to get things done hastily (not that anything in Banished is accomplished with anything resembling speed) and makes the game much more difficult than most others in the genre, since the goal is less about building a sprawling city and more about keeping your populace alive and kicking.

Without this, people will live less and die more often, the city will cease to grow. They need not only food - they also need happiness. The basis of the game is the management of society in the conditions of limited all available resources. These people from the very beginning of the game know all the necessary technologies, but they can use technologies only after they have accumulated the necessary amount of resources. Such trade is one of the key ways to obtain many critical resources.
There is no money in their society, but they can exchange with the inhabitants of other cities that sometimes appear. They are driven to the bare land and now they are fighting for survival. They have only clothes and a cart with food.
