Catan Strategy: Coaching a Rookie (201902)

[@DyLightedCatan]

Yaaaay! He's back! We love him, we watch him, we smile :) I'd also like to say you really edited this video very well! Good job!

[@NeonateGaming]

Thanks! I went a little overboard. The original video was 42 minutes long, lol.

[@jithwheels]

Finally... I got used to a lot of these gameplay videos. Please upload more!

[@NeonateGaming]

Thanks, will do!

[@Gerben912]

"I'd like to thank crack dealer" not a sentence I expected to hear when I clicked on a catan gameplay video :D

[@KennethLLee]

I could see where doing this type of video would open the floodgates of, "watch my game now!" But would love to see this become a regular feature on your channel.

[@NeonateGaming]

I'm glad you liked this. This is a pretty small channel, so it may be more a trickle, but I'm open to doing more!

[@lamaquinadematar]

@@NeonateGaming Don´t underestimate the power of the community, also that road he built...It pains me so much

[@NeonateGaming]

@@lamaquinadematar Thanks! Yeah, that last road - ay caramba!

[@georgelove1010]

Great videos please keep them coming!!!!!

[@NeonateGaming]

Thank you - I will!

[@kaitran8814]

Great to see u back bro! Can't wait for more!

[@NeonateGaming]

Thank you sir!

[@nicolarobatto7469]

beautiful video as always, love ur content and also this twist is well appreciated

[@NeonateGaming]

Thank you for such kind words!

[@HKS-Digital]

That actually taught me a lot, mainly taking the bird in hand.

[@NeonateGaming]

Thank you, bird-in-the-hand / tempo is definitely important!

[@pawekukioa9310]

I enjoy your commentary a lot! Thanks

[@NeonateGaming]

Thank you very much!

[@DougyVAL]

Id like to see one of your games please. I think this was interesting but I miss your gameplay a lot. I wouldn’t even mind a quick live commentary where you just talk about the game, thank you!!

[@NeonateGaming]

Thanks! I appreciate the feedback.

[@theegyptiangamer2530]

I love that blue won this game without building a single city

[@paulvukasin2272]

Great idea reviewing other people's games. Agree with another comment that it could open the flood gates. Lol. I hadn't heard your rule before on 3rd position thinking about ports which was good to hear. Great video, keep it up!

[@NeonateGaming]

Thanks! It was Crack Dealer's idea and I was happy to oblige!

[@Sande24]

In the beginning when he had the resources to build a road and a settlement, should have taken the middle location or the 3:1 port. Going to cut off red didn't do much. And soo many other mistakes.

[@NeonateGaming]

Agreed - they seem relatively easy to fix, so there's that!

[@tommynaclerio]

Aye finally another video! Keep it up man. Catan is a great game.

[@tommynaclerio]

Also are you into chess at all?

[@NeonateGaming]

Thanks - I love chess though I'm quite mediocre. One of my favorite chess books had various "rules" (e.g. rooks to open files) which is partially my inspiration.

[@NutStr8]

Thaaaaaaank you! I love your content!

[@NeonateGaming]

Thank you so much. I'm a poker and space fan too!

[@jaymata1218]

Just got smashed at the office game . . ..I've had enough!!!! I'm taking NOTES!

[@matthiasgraf8960]

God Bless!

[@UnorthodoxMasterOfGames]

Hopefully crack dealer will improve his strategies in the future so he can enjoy the game more. Watching this video makes me want to hop on Catan Universe to test my skills against other people soooo.... see ya later!

[@NeonateGaming]

We all have room for improvement - good luck!

[@UnorthodoxMasterOfGames]

@@NeonateGaming Thank you! I just attempted to win in C&K (have you made any videos on C&K yet?) in a rather unorthodox fashion by only building on Stone and Wheat. I'm about to post the attempt and then try again when I get lucky with a random online board. I did get really lucky this time because I was last out of 3 players to place initial settlements and cities, and I grabbed the wheat port with my settlement and a 5 Wheat, 9 Stone, 10 Stone with my starting city. Anyhow, excited for your next video!

[@dildoswaggins9401]

I would love to get a lesson from you or Delighted, I get beat by my family a lot. I'm only just starting to understand ore>brick generally and army>road generally. I always just crapped out settlements gunning for longest road till my late game suffered from no ore or control.

[@NeonateGaming]

Sounds like you are on the right track! I can't coach you this summer, but reach out to me later this year if you're still interested! Good luck!

[@HKS-Digital]

Hey, could you please do tutorials and guides and introductions to the expansions (seafarers and cites & knights)?! I would like to hear your uncensored opinions on these expansions and your strategies to winning.

[@NeonateGaming]

Thanks - believe it or not, I haven't played Seafarers or C&K! I know I should! Would folks want to watch me stumble my way through and learn the games...?

[@HKS-Digital]

@@NeonateGaming 😮😁 this is a perfect opportunity for a series!😀 "Road to Learing & Winning Catan Expansions".

[@Iamdianam]

Hello Neonate. You might as well do the giveaway again. Please respect my wishes and keep up the great content!

[@NeonateGaming]

Will do - thanks for letting me know. Good luck!

[@NapalmJustice]

Hey! This is the first video of yours I've seen. When you refer to "points" what exactly do you mean, and how do you quantify this to make strategic decisions? Thanks for making the vids!

[@NeonateGaming]

Thanks for watching! Check the video description for the answer! Good luck!

[@gonavygonavy1193]

Hi, what do you think about playing with a deck of 36 cards instead of dice, to make the rolls more consistent?

[@NeonateGaming]

I don’t like it. I like each roll to be independent. In a deck with one 2, if that’s drawn early, it will never be drawn again.

[@lilja6306]

I do not know if you reply to my message after a year, but can you give me a rookie coaching? If you have discord we can discuss about ir, is it paid?

[@bradbell656]

can some one explain the maths behind the chance of 7 being rolled in a round being 52% ?

[@NeonateGaming]

The chance of rolling a 7 is 6/36. The chance of NOT rolling a 7 is 30/36. The chance of not rolling a 7 for 4 rounds is (30/36)^4, or 48%.

[@bradbell656]

Neonate Gaming thank you! please keep up the good work with the videos, youve taught me alot about how to play catan properly. 😊

[@NeonateGaming]

@@bradbell656 Thank you! Good luck with your games!

[@Max_Griswald]

I've never played this game, but after watching KZbin videos for the last couple of days, this was a very painful game to watch. It's like he was just clicking buttons because they were available without considering what his win conditions were...

[@heavyhoplite0]

This game's placement's tilted me.

[@TonyJibster]

No no no no no, you may not critique one of my games (unless you want to make a blooper video). Ha ha :-)

[@NeonateGaming]

That's a good idea, hmm.... ;-)
