For Your Townsfolk
If you want to increase the chance of existing in-game challenges, your only options are mods like Disease Overhaul[banishedinfo.com] and Nomads Zero Pop[banishedinfo.com]. I enjoyed these for a while, but like any other in-game challenges (in any game), you eventually learn them. Then, they get easy and repetitive.

Recover from Disasters
Disasters don't happen that often in the base game. However, if you like the challenge of recovering from disasters, you can spawn them yourself using a debug interface:

In the case of tornados, you may need to spawn quite a few since they don't always come into town. But when they do...

Manage Production Chains
If you want the challenge of trying to build and manage production chains, then look at the latest release of the Colonial Charter mod. Some people find it's not as easy as it looks from screenshots:

Add Starting Conditions
Colonial Charter (and other mods) also add maps and starting conditions that you may find more challenging than what's in the base game. For example, many people find the Adam & Eve starts can be a good challenge.

Quests
This game does not have quests, but, if you want a challenge that is somewhat similar, then take a look at the adventurer in CC Curse of the Golden Llama. I've read that may turn into more of a quest system over time.

Hello! I'm having the problem not so much as how to make the game harder, its just, I got that medieval mod that I want to use, yet most of the things to build increase health. I have lots of resources and would like to build them but I still have a full 5 hearts. Is there a way just to make the population generally more unhealthy. I know there is that disease one but I'm not sure if that's what I'm looking for.
