Being Banished Doesnt Seem so Bad

Taking the number one spot on our countdown is Banished.  This game allows players to focus on the cities development while delegating individual tasks to the inhabitants. In return, players must meet the needs of the citizens which provides a steady expansion to citizen need ratio. Providing for citizens is as simple as making sure they feel protected, have suitable living quarters and a full stomach.

Expand too leisurely and citizens will also grow unhappy due to cramped living spaces. Players must also deal with unforeseen weather conditions, starvation, an aging work force and fires.

Properly mange each aspect of youre cities development and planning for unforeseen events will allow players to reap maximum rewards from banished.
