“Collect berries and plant greens to avoid scurvy and ensure a healthy diet,” reads theSteam descriptionforFarthest Frontier. Yes, this is exactly what I want from a middle ages-ish citybuilder - one from the makers of action-RPGGrim Dawn. Come watch its first trailer below.

Farthest Frontier is promising the “most detailed farming system ever,” in which you’ll need to not only choose crops but plan crop rotations to “maintain soil fertility, avoid heat and frost damage, and prevent the accumulation of diseases.” The diseases it’s possible for your townspeople to get include dysentery and cholera. You’ll also need to make sure your peeps are properly housed, clothed and shoed to avoid tetanus, rabies and frostbite.

In many ways it seems like a refresh ofBanished, 2014’s most misery-inducing - yet excellent - citybuilder. The Steam page also lists randomly generated maps, the ability to turn off invaders and disease, and a frightening list of pitfalls to consider such as the need to manage underground water supplies.

Crate say Farthest Frontier is aiming for a 2022 release - theyinitally hoped 2021- and it’ll be an early access release when it first arrives. For now you canfind more details on Steamandmore screenshots on the official site.
