Nomads | Basic gameplay Banished Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

If you don't have enough workers, you can always use Nomads, who may help you with work in exchange for board and lodging in your town. Before you can even think about taking Nomads into your town, you have to build a Town Hall where you can manage the people who come to your town.

After you build it, go to the Town Hall tab, then select Nomads. You can choose there whether to accept a group of people waiting in front of your town hall or refuse them. Every time you refuse them makes the Nomads less willing to join your town. Every time you accept them, the number of people will increase.

What's important, newcomers can bring various diseases that might cause a plague to spread over your town. Therefore, it's important to have a hospital or - at least - a herbalist that can cure the plague. You should remember that herbs can only help in individual cases and are not effective against a larger number of infected.
