You say he's teaching you. But every little thing he says you have to say "I agree" and proceed to explain it to him. I wouldn't mind it as much if you were talking to the viewers.
Catan is a good game, but the programming of this version of it is pretty meh. The RNG favors odd numbers, especially 5, which is statistically wrong to the odds of the dice. Bad programming. The computer opponents always gang up on the player, regardless of points, and especially on initial placement. They take VERY unfavorable positions in order to surround the player. They always place the robber on the player whenever possible, but still steal according to point leader. Annoyingly bad programming.
Super cool animations and presentation effects! It's my first time seeing those.. to be clear.. these are not provided by the base engine right? Obviously.. Are many people using these? Did you happen to make all those yourself? I was watching it and thought to myself.. that's really cool.. I could do that.. with ChatGPT I could probably do that in 5 minutes today ;p But kudos for doing it one year ago! That took effort! And it looks great. Are you actioning the arrows in real time or in post-prod? It's superbly synced with the action!
How on earth do you win when taking a port with one of your first 2 settlements? I have never, ever won a game like this. In fact I've never even come close.
Blue just disappears because he is on 3 numbers the whole game. You table talked your way to the win here by ensuring black kept road from red. But you made your life hard here by drawing for devs instead of taking longest road which was the natural move
What toxic players(I am talking about all toxic players) need to understand is that catan is a competitive game and people play this game to enjoy their moment. No one is entitled to disturb anyone's enjoyment and everyone should understand that people will try to block, plow and prevent each other from winning. If you are not comfortable with that, you should stick to cooperative games. I even see people not wanting to do trades bc they were blocked several times by the offerer. This is contrary to the game's nature.
min 14.30 Math teacher and poker player here. You roll seven 1 out of 6 times. Wish means you lose 4 cards 1 out of 6 times. aka you lose 2/3 card on average if you use the knight. If you remove the knight your average gain on wood is about 0,42 wood gain versus 0,66 avg card loss. if "avg card gain" is more than "avg card loss" its smart to you use knight. Conclusion: You should not place the knight before you roll if you risk getting discarded. If you have 5points(2 city and 1 settlement )or more its best to use knight before you roll.
I'm an arrogant asshole...you don't wanna trade with me...I get it. hahaha Dylan repeat. This is why Catan is broken...those dev cards are too OP. They should cost 2 sheep, not 1.
This is why you have to remove table talk from this game. It ruins it for me. I want to see what people do without being told. He's tabletalking? You're the master at it. One day I hope you grow up. I know it's hard to stop and not do it all but it'd be nice to see you try slowly.
Dylighted taking the 9 sheep at the start was a better decision overall since you are doubled up with starting sheep port and your nines and fives rolled a bunch so taking it would’ve made you win faster
