Thank you all for kind welcome. I enjoy Banished - modded - even with its trial and error approach to learning to play well.

@Banished: Play Colonial Charter 175 (now 176) with minor mods added, mainly additional bridges, and the larger families mod. Most recently I came across Red Ketchup's Editor's Choice - trying the FULL version (loaded before <abbr title="Colonial Charter">CC</abbr>) as I am enthralled with the canal options and green houses. One question: is there a summary anywhere of the new buildings, production chains introduced by Editor's Choice? I've looked - nada.

@ me: Just retired from helping professional career. Upstate NY, (Canadian border), considering moving to NYC, as I am finally (finally!! yea!!) doing what I love, writing screen plays. Five done so far. One screen play is a sequel - novel and episodic versions also partially done.
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;">
@ other games I play and/or mod (fairly often):
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;">
Children of the Nile (sandbox like Banished). Like the H.O.R.U.S graphic mod.
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;">
Elder Scroll games: Morrowind - Cyrodiil ("typically called "Oblivion") - Skyrim.
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;">
Fallout: 2, 3, New Vegas, 4 (took my graduate degree in Boston - so 4 is quite nostalgic).
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;">
Universe.
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;">
Fallen Enchantress.
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;">
Europa Universalis.
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;">
Two older games I played that I feel were (are) outstanding:
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;">
Torment.
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;">
Mask of the Betrayer.
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;">
I hope this is sufficient for an introduction to these forums.
