Starting the game | Basic gameplay

There is no specific single player campaign in Banished - you can adjust some conditions instead, using a simple panel that pops up before starting the game.

Town Name - here you can specify the name of your village or select a random one;

Map Seed - here you'll choose a random map from over a dozen available;

Terrain Type - here you'll select one of two terrain types:

• Valleys
• Mountains

Terrain Size - here you'll specify the size of the map you'll be working with using three available options (small, medium, large);

Climate - in this panel you'll choose the climate during the game. You can choose between mild, fair, and harsh;

Disasters - here you can turn the natural disasters on and off;

Starting Conditions - here you'll select one of three available types of starting conditions:

• Easy - you start with six families and a large amount of resources and tools. Houses and buildings used for storing resources are already built. You'll use all possible options for food production - they're available from the very beginning;
• Medium - you start with five families and a medium amount of food, tools, resources, firewood and coats. The only building built automatically is the storage barn and only some of the crops are available from the beginning;
• Hard - you start the game with four families and very little food, coats, firewood and tools. No crops are available in the beginning.
