Discuss Banished.
For those who aren't aware: Banished is a town economic sim sort of game where you are charged with directing the survival efforts of a family (or families) of Exiles in a strange wilderness. You will need to allocate from their number those who will farm or gather the food, chop trees, chop fire-wood, and a number of tasks. The game can often be described as unforgiving, I've lost one town already because I failed to read the signs correctly and I almost lost my second in the throws of a crisis involving a severely aging population, I refer to such moment as having "Gone Japan".
However on the later bit I recovered and have reigned in my population and it has sense grown to over 60 individuals with all formerly abandoned posts refilled and expanded as I return to the steady climb in people and resources I wanted.
The game is currently being developed by a one-man team I believe. It IS being updated, but they come out infrequently. But so far I believe many of the initial complaints with the game at release have been addressed. And modding support has been released, all that needs to be done now though is Steam Workshop integration.
So I guess post here about it. Share your stories. Give out hints. Whatever.
