New to the channel? I do Let's Play videos -- these are like walkthrough guides of gameplay with continuous English commentary trying to explain my decisions and what strategy I use. If you're looking for hacks or cheats, you're in the wrong place!

[@bootypounder666]

the fact that quill didn't name his village 'The Quillage' makes me more than a little upset.

[@Yonkage]

It amazes me how relaxed and slow-paced this game is. A full hour into it, and Quill has gotten NOWHERE. Just a couple foresters, gatherers, some fishing, a handful of houses. And that's with his judicious use of 10x speed. At this point, I wouldn't even be 2/3rds as far along as he is, since I micromanage the heck out of everything and rarely go faster than 2x speed.

[@Yonkage]

Also, I just realized that the deer are using that tunnel Quill built into the mountain. They must use the same pathfinding AI as the people.

[@mattyoder6085]

I agree with Quill, this is a Zen game. When i get tired of war I play this to chill out. Although it would be cool to have guard towers or something to defend from bears or bandits.

[@VegasInDecember]

i love it when he plays this game i've missed it so much

[@bingus930]

"Are they crossing the river to chop cheese?" ~Quill18 - 2014

[@johnwilson2226]

city locations is pretty good, most obvious thing is that your're next to a river for the watermill and civil service bonuses acess to deer, a mountain for observitory. near a lot of forrest so it's easy to defend with longbowmen cities are seperated by a mountain so it is harder for you to lose the first and then immediately lose the 2nd, it also doubles as a chokepoint no wheat lots of iron for some good ol classical age conquest all in all pretty good starting location

[@T25de]

Banished is one of the most Chill and Zen games I’ve ever played

[@pershop4950]

You can think of the marketplace like a combination stockpile, but the difference is that the vendor workers bring stuff there. If you have homes in the sphere of influence of the market, then they villagers just go get items from the market to fill up their homes. They don't have to go walk somewhere else further away, or maybe not even walk there and be lacking in some items that could help them. Eg maybe you have all food groups in your village, but a particular 2-3 homes can't access all food groups because they are far away from the source or from a market. Then you get sick people in all those homes when you thought your villagers were all nice and healthy because you provided all food groups.

[@sitbtitw]

Ok so this is gonna seem really odd but for those who watched the live-stream they might understand. I can just imagine Quill doing a "Cooking with Quill" series where all he does is make a bunch of different kinds of soup. lol

[@BlackXxScopez]

My one tip: MAKE A WELL. your entire town will burn down and everyone will die if you don't have a well.

[@Talon771]

Which he built halfway into the video

[@Dunkle0steus]

quarries are land killers. I always hate putting them near my city centre. I usually look for a place with barely enough room to fit the quarry so that I'm not losing good land.

[@marktisdale8058]

There is a mod for quarries and mines to never run out. With that, you only have to place one most of the time.

[@Dunkle0steus]

yeah but that just feels wrong

[@theangrychefasmr4434]

There is a mod that allows you to remove quarries and mines also. More realistic, as quarries can be filled in real life IMO :D

[@Dunkle0steus]

Shawn R well yeah, but filled with what? You'd have to get as much material to fill them with as you got out of them :P I guess you could use dirt, but you'd have to get that from somewhere too. Quill's idea with water is nice; maybe they could be turned into fish farms or something for artificial fish rearing

[@theangrychefasmr4434]

In the real world? I would fill them with garbage and soil, its gotta go somewhere, the same logic could work in banished, though im not sure anyone actually produces trash :D I like the water idea, but I havent seen a mod like it yet. To be banished friendly, Im assuming some earth is removed when leveling the ground for foundations/farms/roads and it could be enough to fill a quarry given enough time. Banished garbage would be biodegradable, so farming a trash filled quarry would be very fertile in theory. If i sounded like a douche it was accidental :D

[@unkr3at1v]

i had to smile when you closed the professions-window for the first time, after saying to keep it opened. i remembered that you did this all the time in your older videos. ;)

[@Damogen]

I am fairly certain that marketplace workers will redistribute stuff between other storages. Basically, you can have a surplus of food in one end of town, while people are starving in the other end and marketplaces help prevent that. Plus having a broader variety of stuff locally, will keep people happy and healthy.

[@brandonchicoine336]

Quill just so you would know, i actually do read the title. i find them informative and refreshing.

[@brl987]

I just got it and with the latest colonial charter mod and there tons of extras and I'm loving it.

[@alexbascom4579]

can you do a new banished series? It would be awesome!

[@bonniemortimer9031]

i know you won't read this, that's cool, but in future, do not overlap your fishing dock radius' because that decreases the amount you will be getting from both. so in future, yeah...don't overlap your radius' :) just a helpful tip, which i hope you can incorporate in your future vids!!!!!

[@Casey_HZD]

Quill said "Herbalist", I'm so proud! :)

[@T25de]

Big herb

[@sneaksz1]

Him not cutting down trees and relying on foresters at the beginning was a little nerve wrecking

[@caphalor08]

basically this is dwarf fortress with good graphics and less 'FUN'... still great game (for the meaning of fun in this context, check the wiki)

[@Jymm]

More "FUN" would be nice. Needs more badgers too. ..FUN does take on a new meaning in DF Learning curve is similar! i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb6/ElderJymm/2rmqi6o.jpg

[@WM01129]

I disagree.. It was a great game and less complicated than Dwarf Fortress (Dwarf Fortress had numbers. I hate numbers)

[@adamrules01]

Isaac DragonDerp Dwarf fortress was just too micromanaged for me, it got tedious telling a dwarf to tie his own shoe laces and not walk into a pit into his doom. I like the fewer options this game has in this regard.

[@WM01129]

adamrules01 Yeah I am a person of micromanage. Which means that I don't entirely hate Dwarf Fortress. But what you're saying is so true. When it was 1 or 2 dwarfs it was all fine until the numbers adds up and you have to look for everyone until you say "Fuck it" and leave your fort into their doom and start a new smaller game. Banished however, didn't had any of these elements in their game.

[@caphalor08]

i usually build up tiny fortresses within my fortress (basically barracks with an entire supportive structure) with dwarves assigned to workshops and rooms, specific stockpile-workshop links and specific doors. so basically i keep it small and simple in a 150 dwarf fortress and when a siege hits, odds are they'll only conquer one or two, not all five. also a ton of fun to reclaim btw.

[@Aqualightnin]

at the end of this episode adding both a quarry and a mine? ambitious given they're both huge population sinks.

[@Christabar1]

All Hail King Quill, bane of Brussels

[@Garycarlyle]

you dont need a forester so early. can just tell your guys to chop down tress. you dont need a forest either. u can chip done tress without cutting all the food bushes down.

[@beta269]

If a tree falls in the wood, would there be a sound? You bet there would... If it landed on top of your head! *Your head!* If a tree lands on top of your *head!*

[@purpleyeti1276]

You said the same sentence 3 times in the same comment

[@angeldaffern]

Fantastic little gem of a game! thanks for showing me this quill18

[@BenjaminMagnusGames]

Indeed it is. Its hard to find city builders worth playing these days!

[@MarcusSpetim]

What was always missing in this game,was an end goal Even if you managed everything perfectly at some point you would reach an expansion/resource stand off and then it would stop making sense

[@politicalmemes1296]

Holy Crap! he knows about gcp Grey! SUBBED!!!

[@politicalmemes1296]

+Political Loopholes CPG Grey srry...

[@FredrikNaevisdal]

Yes! More Banished.

[@amandadicks760]

All you need to know about Quill18 "Ok I'll stop singing..." then keeps singing some more

[@Theshockmaster5eva]

THE BEES ANYTHING BUT THE BEES!!!!! because apiaries are overpowered

[@Kelthraz]

Yes more Banished!

[@Aqualightnin]

multiple times you saw trees fall (and commented on them) in areas where noone was cutting them down. thats fine, it happens naturally, trees fall down on their own sometimes (age/decay i assume)

[@tjep2670]

Coming back now and watching this, and the release of Valheim... It's a lot easier to have a tree land on you than you'd think lol

[@BeckyLynn4621]

I love banished its been so long since i've seen someone play it!

[@BenjaminMagnusGames]

It is indeed nice to see a city builder getting play by one of the big guys. Not too many of them out these days and they tend to fly under the radar.

[@CMDRunematti]

justa thing about medieval stuffs, this knowledge can be trusted, it comes from witcher 3....the gatherer and herbalist and woodcutter and such...should NOT need a house. they live in their respective huts usually

[@gerald216]

Hey quill if you have not remembered this yet, labourers need to take the raw materials to the site THEN the builders come in and finish it.

[@METALFREAK03]

thanks for this quill, i have been commenting about you going back to this for ages lol.

[@nitzillaproductionstheanyt7929]

quill18 i know it's like a year later but gratz on SMASHING the under on the "how long until he notices it was the tailor that died" over/under

[@LongDoan]

Cool, I was thinking about playing this yesterday, and now there are mods!

[@Aqualightnin]

also, this game has a default priority system that is pretty lame. if you tell everyone to remove resources, and put down a building to be built. they will spend forever removing all this crap even if its far away from your city, before carrying supplies to the built site (atleast at launch, havent played any patches). so being careful with your resource removal orders early on is very key to a strong start.

[@sherlockinsomniac]

One big problem in this game is that there's no immigration/migration mechanic. If you run out of space to build new houses, your people just stop making babies and allow their lineage to die out. Then there's suddenly not enough woodcutters and tailors and everyone freezes. That's some stupid shit. In reality, if there's currently not enough room in a city, people migrate to other cities. But in the case of Banished, obviously there ARE no other cities to go to. But maybe it's logical to assume that by the time your colony has outgrown the map, there would already be other smaller colonies established nearby looking for much needed new blood to get them going.

[@SeseelLybon]

Banished is an awesome game. And it's what I'd have loved to see as the civil part of Stronghold (4). It's a shame that I can't focus enough to really play the game, though.

[@pershop4950]

I was just thinking about this as well. If Banished had some economic missions or other mission as a kind of campaign map as well as tutorial (start small and slow then build up), I think it would have gained more traction because then there wouldn't be a group of people complaining about how hard it was and making the ratings go down. Not to mention, there are a subset of players who can handle sandbox and open-ended games. They will play 100s and 1000s of hours if they like it. Others want a campaign of sorts to feel like they are making progress and eventually finishing the game, so they can move on to other games.

[@shaunwarren1583]

lol "thought it was some sort of fertilizer thing" My thoughts exactly ;)

[@ParadogsGamer]

The Colonial Charter Mod just got updated with the Maple Harpoon edition. Introducing whale catching and maple leaf trees and many other things! It's awesome. Click my name to check out the new videos.

[@Bram06]

if only my favorite youtuber played this... oh wait!

[@kyleflounder9783]

You put a warning for frequent distractions? Everyone gets frequent distractions, and since I've been on KZbin viewing and liking my life away since 2009, I've gotten used to screaming at my screen when you or anyone misses something or gets too distracted. It's pretty sad when my parents don't even care any more when it happens. xD

[@tobuslieven]

Awesome! More banished : D

[@the-gari]

banished is how i found your channel. also the reason i subscribed lol

[@Timithos]

All builders.. no all laborers.. no all builders... no all laborers.. no all builders.. EXTREMES! because that makes perfect sense...

[@ClipEvent96]

Holy horrible bitrate.. Excited to see you play Banished again though!

[@MystycCheez]

I would love to see a Banished 2, that would be cool.

[@BenjaminMagnusGames]

That would be cool. City Builders are dying breed it seems. Not too many out these days. I just started replaying the old Caesar series, its been a nice jaunt into the past.

[@Aqualightnin]

why a banished 2 and not just improvements to the core game? half the sequels in this era are literally the same game with minor changes (see CoD for example), i'd rather see improvements as expansions or free content updates.

[@MystycCheez]

ChrisEngle87 Because I could see massive changes to this game like better terrain, the ability to build on terrain, different types of terrain, different biomes, diagonal+ rotations of objects. Things that would be way to difficult to integrate with the game itself.

[@Aqualightnin]

all of which could be added to the current game as updates, rather than a separate game.

[@blockhead330]

You must be to used to ea things in gaming can still be free

[@CamelsHighOnCrayons]

I hope more content is release for this game. Multiplayer would be nice, being able to trade to neighbours.

[@TheLunarMan]

They should make a mod where you can send out trading boats to other cities for shite.

[@rubusroo68]

food, shelter, tools, fuel, clothes & education.

[@MegaSsssdd]

love the vid cheers man love to see part 2

[@bigg16]

Cool game Banished.Still trying to master it though.Quill love your vids dude.Regards all the way from sunny South Africa :))

[@alexanderc.5245]

NVIDIA Geforce GTX 970 X_X jeez quill! nice!

[@joelboqvist1954]

bee my honey?..... ah, I love puns!

[@skyrimplayer7643]

Yaay! Banished!

[@lemmonsinmyeyes]

It would still be nice to be able to cultivate some of the things the gathers bring in for farming, like blue berries, just spit out the seed and plant it damn it!

[@pershop4950]

In the current version of Colonial Charter and later (called CC Journey), you can now harvest blueberries via a new building, as well as plant herbs as a crop plant.

[@michaelforrest5079]

Really enjoyed the video! :)

[@DaDunge]

My biggest gripe with this game is the grid layout, in 2014 you should be able to turn buildings 360 degrees.

[@CamelsHighOnCrayons]

Hopefully an enhanced rotation mod releases.

[@MarkusPresson]

a grid system allows easy modding, and is also good because trying to position a building perfectly without a grid is annoying as heck, like in simcity when you make the roads BARELY the wrong size, or you are a millimeter off of building a massive mine. and it also has a bit of nostalgia for the old city building games.

[@RMJ1984]

Well youre not wrong. but its really important i feel like to judge the game, based on the fact its made by one person. But maybe mods can do that. It would be awesome indeed.

[@DaDunge]

Not so sure there is an easy fix, models and interfaces are pretty easy but stuff like this is built into the very structure of the game.

[@amshermansen]

Fredrik Dunge Free rotation is horrible for games like these. It messes up pathfinding very badly and makes the cities look terrible in the end. Just look at Guild 2 and such. Edit: And it has already been tried for many, many games and failed. So it has nothing to do with "Durr in 2014..."

[@mariusvrebe9542]

i love how you play this game ;)

[@nicholasdaniel5685]

I need a swift tailor...... I see what you did there quill

[@TheApj007]

Plz do more love it

[@mazzy491]

I've always thought that if you spend all your labourers on a jobs, eventually when there all maxed out and new labourers arrive they'll automatically replace a dead person. Why not use this method in future videos?

[@joebastow8951]

I thought you was bald then til I realised it was the black border on the menu haha!, don't go bald

[@GaneshaTheGreat]

Whats wrong with being bald xD

[@joebastow8951]

Anti Mingers nothing :p just looked strange for a moment hahah

[@Eirael]

Nice to see Quill finally out of the endless cycle of Civ+EU4

[@cummsquatchgang9361]

You should do the mega mod for banished

[@nick53686]

Id like to know how much space it takes for the computer. With all that space on the game platform, youd expect it to take a lot of mb or gb

[@Aqualightnin]

bit late now, but moving your greenscreen head to the lower left might have been better for this game.. :P

[@Brian_NJ]

What are your thoughts on the new Hearthstone cards coming out soon?

[@suicideking6669]

Now I have to play this again lol, its been like a year, everyone is going to die.

[@ZigZargero]

In Soviet Canada, the barbeque season is in December.

[@jerrydidrik]

the rain sound effect is just a shower.

[@Yourdarkdoom]

Why did this game suddenly disappear off the radar?

[@FlightofCrows]

Because there wasn't much challenge or replay value. Once you figured out how to balance everything and won all the achievements... well that was it. Everything you could build was practical in nature. No monuments. No wars. No story-line. No struggle. Just balance everything until you fill up the map, and you're done- game over, bro.

[@FlightofCrows]

Not to say that the game is bad- it does what it is meant to do masterfully. It just could have benefited from some ambition. More varied map varieties, a story mode, win scenarios, combat, competition, interaction between multiple maps, monuments, scenic items, etc. There were plenty of ways in which its lifespan could have been drastically increased. But the developer was ready to move on. So he did.

[@ngud20]

Yes. More content.

[@Ross665]

Broderic Beard From what I can remember, the game is not meant to contain combat. Its more of a colonial Sim City.

[@adamrules01]

Broderic Beard You miss the point. "he" one guy... No massive team of 100 people. Considering the amount of content there is for 1 person its absoultuely amazing! to say this was not ambitious is quite frankly laughable.

[@sgtpep3485]

How did you get the mod screen to load anything????

[@KevinCurry]

maybe activate the event log so we can see when people are born or die

[@ultimatenick37]

I wish I didn't forget how to play this game.

[@tupcho33]

yaaaaay ..... long hd video SUBSCRIBED !

[@Tf2BrumBrumBrum]

I find the population management of this game to be a bit boring. Thinking about generations etc is a bit too much for my likings, and the fact that stone and iron isn't particulary infinite Resource as mines etc to run out eventually. Other then that, I love this game.

[@davidhorinek]

There are mods to make iron and stone mines infinite.

[@redhairdavid]

there are also trading ports, its easier and more man efficient to buy the stone and iron using renewable resources than mining it. like jackets or something. or logs, logs are always good to sell. cotton is great. lots of options.

[@Lumpia911]

Dang, this is from the livestream. I've already seen it :(

[@JackieFuckingChan]

Is there a mod that makes the game easier? Even if I do everything right, all my people die of old age and it completely fucks my civilization.

[@MrAlexs888]

expand more early on

[@SV67943]

It sounds like you're only building just enough houses, so your young people don't get a chance to have kids as soon as they're old enough to pair up.

[@JackieFuckingChan]

SV67943 i always make sure to have empty houses though..

[@brdn666]

FableBlaze Yeah, that's a great way to have an emergency supply of resources.

[@METALFREAK03]

JackieFuckingChan your building too quickly then. average 1 or 2 houses per year and you can run smoothly.

[@yelar9000]

Bees go up to 2 k to get nectar

[@TheCameroony1463]

How thinks this game needs a way to see through the tress clearly, like in open TTD where you press X and everything is transparent. :)

[@dramravett4621]

must watch out for falling tree and falling rock , :D

[@De10re]

Please play some settlers :)

[@WiccaRobin]

You don't need them to live together to have babayies They make them any ways.. a guys and gols just naturally make babayies even if they are in seperate home.., Its ctually been that way sense the begining of this game..If you keep watch on the single ladies you will see they have kids, periodically. Tools are a finite resource and therefore SHOULD NOT be sold, there is a very good document on this posted. You really should of looked over the mod before you started to build stuff, you should definently be using the colonial house at this time and you will see new buiilding to build in place of the traders building.

[@genjon1]

i have been watching your for a few months now and i always forget to sub but i got it :D +sub

[@isndejndnekdn3078]

What mods do u have

[@caphalor08]

i'm torn in two: what to buy first: anno 2070 or banished?

[@bwcmakro]

An I is much more large scale. Banished is often down to the nitty-gritty. Choose.

[@mbchudno]

both... they are too different to compare.

[@mongislort6440]

wait for xmas sale

[@slubbergully9231]

They're very different games, but I would buy Anno first. It has a lot more content. For perspective; I love city building games and got 400 hours out of Anno 2070, while only a mere 20 hours out of Banished. The main problem with Banished is that there is one recipe for success, and once you figure it out the game is dead simple. There's also no conflict in Banished, so the only danger is natural disasters which you can't really control or plan around. They're still both good games. Hope this helped.

[@MarkusPresson]

***** i got bored of anno 2070 in two days. i still like banished. both take a while to build up. both have time-warping (going faster or slower) but anno 2070 can only go at double speed and is still stupidly slow-paced, while banished can be played slow or fast. anno 2070 has more content but is dlc-walled, the dlc itself costing $44 and the game being $40, grand total of $84, while banished is merely $15. on the technical side of things, banished is DRM-free, while anno 2070 has u-play, and if you buy it on steam you are out of luck, unless you do a unnecessarily complex fix to actually play it without uplay crashing when it tries to launch anno. basically, Banished > Anno 2070.

[@maftuhromadon5068]
