Welcome to Banished!

Good evening, all.

This is the first, and probably worst (maybe) blog post I will ever compose.

With that aside, welcome to my Banished review/story.

The beginning of Skellott.


This game is very similar to that of SimCity, in that you must build a thriving community and survive the elements.  Unlike SimCity, you cannot hit a population of 0 and come back from it and there are not any competing towns to pull citizens from or to lose them to.  Your population can only breed within certain age limits and you must provide families their own houses.  Food is the most crippling factor, in my opinion, in that you must make sure to stock enough to survive with.

You will see above my start of a new town.  These people were "Banished" from their previous home... and that's the story.  They are currently homeless, have everything they own in a cart... and, I must help them to develop into a thriving community.

Overall, I won't be mentioning game settings and such as that, but as FYI, this game is set to Hard difficulty (they will likely die from this).

And so begins the history of Skellott!
