I think it's the best, unless you play in tournaments like the King of Catan Premier League, where it gets hard-focused. Then strategies that seem sub-par tend to do quite well too.

I think one of my biggest priorities since I play Seafarer mostly is number diversity. The more numbers available with the most pips more or less. I know the pips are the x : 36 odds of rolling the numbers but if I have one or more spots with the same numbers even if they are higher odds I need a good reason like port options to pick the handicap in roll options. The other exception to ports would be if both spots made Wood & Brick or Wheat & Ore.

Tried the hybrid OWS strategy today and went 2-0 with it - thanks for the idea and information! First game was a fairly straightforward win with quick upgrades of the starting two settlements to cities, followed by gradual points accumulation primarily through development cards - second game we were pretty wheat starved for the whole game, so it was a much slower build, where my infrastructure was terrible throughout (sat on starting two settlements for ages) but ultimately got the win with a city after a very lengthy game that finished 10-9-9 (for an idea of the length, I had played 8 knight cards by this point). Edit: while I'm an absolute noob to the strategy, I feel like in a vacuum full-OWS is going to be better on some board layouts, and hybrid is going to be better on others (usually it'd be determined by port positions). And of course, switching to another strategy is going to be better if you're playing with other people going for full or hybrid OWS.

I have fallen into OWS + a Sheep port if possible or if not wheat or ore port. You don't have direct access to wood or brick but you only need one of each for a road. You can get this by robbering other players you know probably have either, using year of plenty, knights, or monopoly. Can also trade with the bank easily once you get that port which you should aim to get with your third settlement. 3 cities + largest army + 2 DV cards or longest road if you get road building card. You will often get a lot of knights and thereby keep the robber off you almost the whole game while also choosing to place it on whomever you want.

Constructive feedback: when you add graphs, you need to add what the axes of it represent. At 1:33 you show a graph, but what do the bars mean? Winning chance? Difficulty to pull off? Later you show the same graph with the bars having changed heights, so the Y axis means different things at different times... Also, it seems that for that particular graph you circled the wrong strategy. You were talking about the Road strategy just before showing it, but then you circled the Easy one.
@Treeckosaurus14 күн бұрын
The bar chart is meant to highlight strengths and weaknesses of that particular strategy. So, when talking about the Road Builder strategy, it indicates a high raw power level, great chance to win the Longest Road bonus, it can stay under the radar well, it's decently flexible, but it's also difficult to play and doesn't have a good shot at the largest army.

@Treeckosaurus7 ай бұрын
Some tournaments use the default set-up, some mix them up. I use this board to illustrate my point. I often use the same boards, so there's 'new input' to resolve for viewers, so they can focus on one thing at the time.

can you please tell me what the 10 point plan for road building and port are?
@Treeckosaurus3 ай бұрын
Of course! Keep in mind, it won't be the same every game. Road - Easy part is settlements and roads, so have them as many as possible. A city is tougher, but build a city early on to avoid being stuck in a situation with 5 settlements down. TPP: 1 City, 5 Settlements, LR and 1 VP is the most average 10 points you'll see road win with. But yeah, sometimes a second city is easier or you pull more VPs. Ports - can essentially be anything. It depends on which win-bonus you include. If you go for road, settlement spots will get easier. If you go for Army, Cities are easier. Let's say you focus on Army. TPP: 3 Cities, LA, 1 VP and 1 Settlement. You could also sneak in a double play (Road + Army). Port Strategies are all about reading the game and its opportunities. I actually regret saying it's easy to play in this video.
