i love to start over. i usually play a new town up to population 800-1200 then get bored and start over.
i love the forest of a new map, waiting to be developed, filling with homes and crops, becoming productive. i love designing neighborhoods and planning layouts for efficient production. i love it when growth is steady and food/fuel are plentiful and stable, and the town reaches that "runs itself" point.
it means i have balanced and managed nicely and i can move on to the next one. adding a theme or challenge is a great idea. i once went through as many maps as i could, starting with 1. (i think i got to 600+ before that got old.) then i went through a phase of trying to create only water worlds. (that one didn't last long i admit) now i'm going for a "district" idea, pockets of specialized neighborhoods: heavy industry (mining), art (sculpture), agriculture, etc. and trying to decorate carefully to match my ideas.
that's the thing about banished and colonial charter, it can be about as endless as your own imagination. i take breaks too, and go off to sims3 or some cities skylines, but since it was released, i have always come back to banished - over and over.<a class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image" href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2018_01/5a554a23ce463_Application-steam-x642017-12-0902-37-24-932.jpg.e90de37f808622d99624f0ecdd683f6b.jpg" data-fileid="2851">[img]<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2018_01/5a554a2458686_Application-steam-x642017-12-0902-37-24-932.thumb.jpg.101aab0c328edca8b0d125d7db4bf519.jpg[/img]</a><a class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image" href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2018_01/5a554a18933ce_Application-steam-x642018-01-0400-36-01-562.jpg.b375bad8d6aca84acd3065d8893dc069.jpg" data-fileid="2850">[img]<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2018_01/5a554a1f0ce40_Application-steam-x642018-01-0400-36-01-562.thumb.jpg.534f6cd2e18dd6da6f6a616049c57018.jpg[/img]</a>
