> However, also in Banished it is your goal to overcome the stagnation and lead your settlement to expansion.
Is it? My view of banished was always that the goal was survival and living with the finite resources. Of course at some point you realize that with your foresters, miners, stonecutters, tailors, brewers, priests, teachers, blacksmiths and all the other people you need you have to build more food production, which requires more people and so on.
But I have never felt in banished that my goal is expansion, my goal was always a stable equilibrium that I could hold without touching it. It's sort of like software development for a specific problem, the best solution is one you never have to think about again.
