I've never played a game like this in my life. Did the tutorial and had so many questions, like the farmers per field question which you answered in the first min lol. I'm only 5min into the vid but you've already answered multiple things and taught me multiple things and IU figure I better comment before I get to the end and don't actually leave one. Two years later this vid is still helping people. Much love to you and your family.
My current game reached a population of 4243 people before the game decided that smallpox was on the menu and wiped out roughly 1000 settlers. I'm also running out of forest on the map. So, I'm hoping that the little people figure out they can heat their homes with coal. I started on the hard setting. hunters, farmers, tools, gatherers, and houses were the first things I put in place.
the number of times i've gone from 600 people (90%+ educated), 100k+ food 10k+ tools and wood... to everyone starving because i accepted 20-50 nomads... this game is brutally difficult even on the easiest start mode. (and that's a good thing for the type of game it is...)
Yes, true! My pain! I started banished just two days ago, and boy! It's killing me mentally. I often watched some banished gameplay and I thought I can do it. When I started playing, first gameplay, my people died because of starvation (I don't know how to gather food and I did have a fishing dock but was not enough. (I also forgot that there's a gathering hut)), so they died. I watched a gameplay again and noticed that they put two gathering hut first before forester and herb something (because I build the herbalist first because my poor mind thought it also gather food). I did it in my second time, they still died, BECAUSE I DIDN'T BUILD MORE HOUSES AND JUST BUILD FIVE AND NOW THE KIDS HAVE GROWN AND THE ADULT HAVE DIED OF OLD AGE! They all died of old age, I tried building more houses but was too late, the Childs that have become adult is already 30+ and didn't birth to another offspring. Yes, they didn't starve but still died on natural causes. The third time, I got my lesson. BUT! they still died, I overpopulated them and my food decreases instantly. I hope this toturial would help me.
One thing that I would do differently is not set my firewood limit so high! Youcan always select the “stop work” option and reassign him temporarily as a builder to keep them working. If you don’t reassign him, he will also act as a labourer while he can’t work as a woodcutter. But the problem with setting the limit so high so early is you use up all your wood to make firewood, and you end up with an excess of firewood and a shortage of wood.
Tried 10 times this game before looking for a tutorial. I have to say that you helped me a lot for understanding the mechanics and now I got it. My Town is thriving beyond the points you showed here. Excelent video and great content.
thank you for making this video i was considering uninstalling this game untill i came across this video it helped alot now i have a funtioning city and its super helpfull thanks
IMO the very first tip should be, pause the game while you figure things out , like where things go, what crops to use, etc.

one tip would be i unassign all the farmers during the winter
For school timing, build when the first child is 9, just keep the info screen for that child up for reference.

Fish dock should be on the lake you get more fish
they should've changed the question mark symbol to a person symbol or something else
What is this seed?
The most important thing to know as a beginner is that the speed control is like alcohol: it will absolutely ruin you if use it too much.
