Reading the Wikipedia description[1] makes it sound like a slightly tarted up Settlers, not anything genre-defining. What have I missed?

- legitster 3y agoYour people in Banished die. A lot. So unlike most other economic sims, building your city is not the primary goal, population survival is. And you have to balance population and resources pretty intimately. Calling Banished a tarted up Settlers would be similar to calling Dark Souls a tarted up Zelda game.
