11:29 this was the critical moment. Army was a tough fight to get, you needed 6 resources for 2 devs and hope for 2x knights just to catch up as he was on 6 knights already if not 7. Once you have mono for security and you draw the 2nd vp you are on 13 points. You have resources for city in hand (port wood sheep and wheat for ore) as you are locked out of settlements. The city gets you on 14. After that you have devs for extra vps or a quick settle on 10-8 for win. Gg love the content.

I discovered your channel recently and just watched the 17 first ep, I love it ! Your commentary is really soothing, I am often saltier than you when some unlucky rolls happens.

Lol game 3.... I guess eventually you have to have a game with no early vps 😂

That second game was rough, but I think you have to take the 5 6 11 over the 3 4 8 and deny them any wood brick sheep spots.

Dude game three was in your bag so easily. But you 4 for 1 to draw a dev card instead of blocking him access to any wheat. If you did the same trade 4 for 1 but to build 2 roads and block acess to any other wheat besides 11 you have the game. He has no popping power so army and everything in the deck are yours to take in the future.

Game 2: You should never port the brick for the city. The moment you lose road you lose the game.

If ur first opponent takes 1095 843 u are coooooked

Game 2 picks were correct. Opp just got super lucky with the dev pulls.

Wow, two fatal mistakes that costed you that second game.

3:45 That's the wrong city. Try to better plan your next settle and future resource ratios.

At 9:45 and a score of 14-6: "He is getting a little too close for comfort." Comon man, lol

Proud to be your 420th subscriber. Love the content! I’m in the 1500s in 1v1 so this is great!

I will not keep it constructive don't try and silence me !!!

In the first game, I thought about 834 with plow for second pick. You can easily settle on 91011.

13:09 these roads are unconscionable on yellows part. Huge misplays from the opponent for sure!

At 13:13 you are deciding to port to save for city. You need one wheat and two ore. Better to port for ore because you have three rolls to give you the wheat. Then you need a wheat and ore, not two ore which is much harder

Do you happen to watch survivor? There was a guy named Charlie on the last season, and your voice and personality kind of reminds me of him.

2:24 You should always port your wheat for a wood here. If you 7-out it's probably gg.

6:19 I often hear this "multiple sources of wheat" argument and quite often it shows a deeply flawed understanding of the game like in this case.

What an incredible round of games! I would say "luck of the dice" but your positioning was just superior; you earned those wins!

Second game, I think you should have considered 942 for your second pick. You have the same road building (wood) as the 643 start, you guarantee yourself a spot on the 9 ore, and you have no contest to get on the 643 as your first expansion. Just need to roll a 5 for 1 wheat.

Why no ore port in the 2nd game?

Hells yeah! That first match was insane! Hooper - my guy - you invited the switcheroo!

I liked the post commentary. Was nice to have a bit of a mix.

That first win was such justice for that guy celebrating early.

LET'S GO

That bell curve at the end is sick looks like you have balanced dice on

YEAHHHHHHH

The first game feels like a game I would lose too but not understand why lol. The only mistake I see is settling on the ore port instead of 6/9/12 at 12:00, since you're never porting ore away in that position, but it ends up making no difference.

30:00 Big mistake not to get the last knight. Now you allow your opponent to take robber control and keep your 8 wheat blocked.

Nice to see new videos again!

I believe the better placement in the second game is the 8/4/3 double wheat pointing inwards. There are three wood brick starting road combos to give you the cut if they try to race and plenty of opportunity to build to sheep.

I HUNGER FOR MORE CONTENT jk come back whenever, i just been watchin your videos nonstop bc they are they're the best mindless content to watch, love u schloop

We miss you schoolpity, come back soon

Hey dude! Just want to let you know I love your videos. You have a good demeanor and positivity to your videos! Keep up the grind!

12:15 "Terrible, terrible starting placement on my end, but I don't know what else can be done here." Hi Schloop. Thanks for uploading these games, but let's be honest, this phrase is a contradiction. You can't say that the starting placements were terrible, unless you can point out a better starting setup. At that moment you didn't know of a better setup, so it was entirely possible that your starting setup was perfect. I've seen many other Catan content creators doing the same mistake, of attributing a bad outcome to bad initial placements, although they have no idea what they would do differently if they had the chance. I think that admitting the real cause is too painful, usually numbers not rolling, unlucky dev picks, bad board for the first player etc, so they prefer to "own" imaginary mistakes that they did not commit. I am pointing it out because this type of commentary helps no one to improve their game, and it's not particularly entertaining either.

You could have used the yop for brick to cut them off on the first game

You took a chance on picking the first settles in that first game. I would have gone straight to 9-10 left, then the 9-6-3 and plowed you to the 9-5-12...

Is a metric ton of wheat heavier than an imperial ton of wheat?

Love ur energy bro Keep it up ❤

Good persistence on the first game. 4:56 After the 11 rolled you could have YOP for 2x brick to cut them off the 6 5 12. Well played games overall.

lol, game 2 opponent got so salty at the end

He used too much brick with the wood port block

Good stuff Schloop

Great video! Great to see you posting regularly again!

They say a win's a win but this one must've felt sweeter. That was a great game on both y'all's parts.

Definitely reckon wheat port was worth going for earlier.

Good persistence first game. Knight control all game can really slow down your opponent. Also classic example of a plow that does nothing for your opponent. They had to use the RB and an extra road which really slowed them down.

Spoiler alert

I would recommend 643 5910
