Banished

A city-builder where you lead a small band of exiled settlers in a new land. You assign jobs, plant crops, hunt, fish and trade, and every decision has to keep the population fed and warm. Disease, bad harvests and natural disasters can wipe out a settlement that grows too fast. Is it your kind of game?
