great video! I was just tarted playing catan and Im enjoying it very much, I was looking for strategies video but every single one just explain some basic rules. This is helping me a lot to understand better the overall gameplay and strategies, very clear and well edited!

[@ylenolsreppeptgs]

close one. I liked the tip about blocking the resource you produce, so others are forced to trade with you. I have never thought about it in those terms.

[@rhysgriffiths9675]

I feel like at 20:20, upgrading the 4-5-11 would have been a better option. Yes, you needed more wood to win the game, but getting a good wheat roll could allow you to upgrade that 9-wood to a city quickly anyway (maybe even 2 city upgrades at once), after which you'd just have to build longest road to win the game rather than going for an extra settlement. Essentially it would be investing in your economy and resource production for a little longer, in order to blitz the last few victory points faster, and you'd also have a few more options about the way you got those last points. Still it's debatable and I can understand your logic behind your decision, my judgement just favours the other alternative. With your mass 11s I also would have considered stockpiling wheat earlier rather than buying your first development card, in order to upgrade that 4-5-11 as soon as ore hit and then have huge access to city upgrades. What do you think?

[@DyLightedCatan]

Rhys Griffiths Something I didn’t mention was since I knew Blue had an unplayed Dev Card, I knew it was a victory point or a monopoly. Since blue was right about to build on the wheat port, I felt like upgrading the 4-5-11 was playing right into the monopoly on wheat that I thought could be coming. Also, in general I had 7 points of wheat already and felt like I didn’t need more. I’d rather upgrade and get a better road ratio (1:1 wood brick). Good thoughts. Perhaps upgrading the 4-5-11 could’ve won me the game.

[@rhysgriffiths9675]

13:10 maybe green was hoping that orange would play a knight to take the robber off their joint tile? Orange plays next turn, both of them have unplayed dev cards. I'd assume it was just a mistake but it could be an interesting strategy in some scenarios :) especially if he thought that orange might put the robber back on him directly afterwards as soon as he moved it.

[@DyLightedCatan]

Rhys Griffiths Great thought! I wish I knew. Expecting someone to move it immediately is for sure something to keep in mind for the robber.

[@chrisosborne4731]

17:38 If the settlement was placed on a higher producing location, it would easily be the correct play, but for the 4th ore on 11 and weak extra point in sheep, it isn't so clear. You didn't need to rush the port if you were not going to use it immediately, and you went from a 19/36 chance of producing per roll to a 20/36 chance. There is a 10% chance of one 12 for 4 consecutive rolls, which would only recoup your trade. The only reason I could see to rush the settlement is if you were worried a 7 or knight would occur and another player would target you.

[@nicbug4861]

1:40 i would place 8/3 wood port and pointing road to 3/6 along the coast to get that spot later. then 3/4/8 for free road, placing the one road downwards. this way you get 3 strong wood fields for trading ore against wood.

[@jurkustudios]

Wow, thanks for the gameplay, cool to see your thought process! Keep it up!

[@DyLightedCatan]

Kurgis Julins Thank You! I really appreciate it!

[@mymyscellany]

Wow great video. I've been looking into a lot of Catan videos recently. You definitely seem like the most skilled and knowledgeable player I've come across (I've only seen this one video so far but I'm very impressed lol). I'll definitely join the discord. I want to comment on where I might have placed my settlements as 4th player. This is definitely an unorthodox choice but I think it might have been interesting haha. I think blue made quite a blunder going on the 9/4/3 instead of the 8/4/3 and securing the wood port. To capitalize on this, an interesting strategy would be placing the first settlement on the wood port, with the road pointing toward blue's road, and the second settlement on the 8/4/3 in the bottom left corner. The 8/4/3 gives you a road which will almost definitely allow you to immediately block off blue's road choice. Hopefully this will allow you to double or triple up on the 8 wood hex, possibly overcoming the lack of ore, though you are susceptible to robbers. I'm somewhat new to the game though so I'm not sure this is a great strategy. I haven't played online yet. Anyways great video!

[@DyLightedCatan]

Great thoughts so far! I 100% agree with you that blue made a blunder on the 9/4/3 choice. It was clear he didn't look ahead. About tripling up on the 8 wood: although nice, this makes the 8 wood a really big robber target. A lot of the times I don't like making my spots a bigger target for the robber. Something you also have to think about is the 1:1 wood brick ratio. You can't do anything without brick. Your road ratio isn't super strong. Yes, you have the port, but it sacrifices so much production. I think one of the biggest differences between strong veteran players and weaker players is that they don't view the game holistically. If you go on the 8/3 you leave a bunch of other very strong spots for other people. Keep that in mind. If there was an alternative pick, I'd pick the 3/4/8 + 9/10/2 using the free road to cut to the brick port. Remember to think about win conditions too. Are you going to get road or army? How are you going to do that? Will I have enough production for road? Army? Enough space for longest road? What about my competitors? All these things you have to ask yourself when you place.

[@ryanball1490]

Love your videos man. Hope you’re able to keep posting regularly

[@DyLightedCatan]

I will! I'm finally done with the big tourney. I've actually already got another video ready for next week.

[@miarabea401]

I think I would have picked the 11-9-10 with the 3-4-8, because I thought it’s to risky to loose weed and I‘d have every recourse, but now I get why your set up is stronger. Sometimes I play to safe, what makes me good, but often not good enough to win at the end.

[@Philare8]

As I was paused looking at the possible placements, i started laughing. If I was in a causal setting playing with my family, knowing full well there was no way it would actually work, I would have been super tempted as 4th player to place on 8/3/wood port then 6/9/2, take all the wood, just for the memes.

[@nicolasbascunan4013]

I thought the same. But what’s the prob with having all that wood with high numbers; a 2:1 port and a potencial 1:1 (or even better) from trading?

[@mikkokormann6814]

28:57 the dice rolls are almost perfectly symmetrical :0

Ha! Thanks! I’m glad I can provide solid nerd content 😆. There’s always more to learn.

[@Dcj21]

Unfortuntely, most players that I play with (on Catan VR or home games) would likely place on 11 ore in this situation thinking that it's at least some exposure to ore meaning that the 5,4,11 spot would be taken. Not that doing so is mutually exclusive to noobie players, but I think this strategy also assumes everyone else is on board with the port game. In this game you can do everything assuming that people will take the best options, and be wrong which ends up screwing you.

[@henry875]

21:10 I actually think putting it on the wheat was smart. Blue is you main competitor, as if he can build over to more wheat and get the port he could circumvent needing an ore tile. Blocking his best wood stops him from building many roads.

[@DyLightedCatan]

For some reason I missed this comment! Sorry about that. I like the mindset and logic of blocking the wheat. It's fine if the robber is moved as long as a knight is played.

[@horarp]

Extremely helpful and entertaining to watch. I love your explanations!

[@DyLightedCatan]

Thank you so much! I always appreciate the kind comments.

[@lukasc2621]

what is the 5:4:3 ore wheat sheep strategy? Is that ideal values when placing a settlement?

[@DyLightedCatan]

It’s essentially the values of building a city and development cards added together. The “ore wheat sheep” strategy revolves around having a ratio of 5:4:3 (ore/wheat/sheep) to go heavy development cards and cities sacrificing your road building production. This is my preferred method of play as it’s the stronger strategy in the game.

[@trey3828]

I know this is an old video but one strategy for placing settlements would to place one of them on the 9-6-2 (Wood, wood, ore) and the second on 8-3 (Wood, sheep) so that you will get tons of wood AND have the wood port.

[@DyLightedCatan]

In general having 1 type of resource and going on the port is not a good strategy as you have to port everything so it reduces your production in half.

[@l.a.171]

Realy nice Video with lot of valuable informations, I have to say 😊 To your Question at 17:30 I really think its not a bad trade because you have no cards afterwars what is usually a good thing. 👍

[@DyLightedCatan]

L. A. Thanks! I agree. In the end, it wasn’t a bad trade. It accelerated my game a lot.

[@michaellee4276]

You had no choice but to pick a spot on the 10 wool. the other spot had two possibilities and you picked the best (very slightly riskier) one. When you said "I don't know why Green didn't play his knight" the first time around, it was because he thought he could get Orange to use his knight first to clear that spot and get his resource opened while retaining his own Knight. I would only do that if the blocked resource wasn't that useful to me (like if I already had plenty of that resource or if I had zero cards). Or If I had 7 cards. But Green had a wood port and 4 cards. It seems like a 6-wood would have to be useful there. But It is a low ore board, so he has to be more frugal with Knights than usual. Considering he was on a wood port, saving the Knight one round might not have been worth it. Or he should have not played it the next round either, saving it to free up his wheat (or brick) in the future or to steal an ore from you after the roll of an 11.

[@deutschamerikaner]

I never knew there was a competitive Catan scene. Literally ideal ratios and everything. Full respect to this guy. This is kinda interesting, but I’m confused why this was in my recommended.

[@kingofsauce1319]

Yeah this was in mine. Never heard of this game. But for some reason im really enjoying watching these

[@bradthomas7933]

I would place on the 3-4-8 pointing left & the 8-3 pointing right Looking back, there's a decent chance of someone taking the 6-11-3, automatically disqualifies me taking longest road & blue would end up blocking the 8-3 anyway. Getting the 3-6 or 3-9-6 is still likely, but overall a worse setup than what you chose. This was due to my lack of experience predicting other placements & me generally looking to get 1 VP & Build to 9 as my win condition My family is very aggressive at targeting the lead player, so a hidden VP is very good, also my family will trade roads to others aggressively & will build 4 dead roads just to cut off the longest road (we allow 'gifting' others cards), not a very competitive board. I usually take a lead early, but still losing as I'm often seen as a high threat & cutthroat player (compared to several who place the robber in the dessert multiple times gladly for free or 1 resource & discourage taking both a bribe & block/steal which I still do) With more practice tracking resources, I could easily adopt a development card strategy as most of my family doesn't even bother buying them. I have tried it with mixed success

[@settlersofbrotan5715]

Love it bro!

[@DyLightedCatan]

Thank you! I appreciate it!

[@mitchelroe7829]

2:56 at this point I’m wondering why you didn’t go for 5:4:11 and 3:4:8. You would have a bunch of wheat in a high wheat game and get to the 8 lumber within a few turns. While you’d have to trade for sheep early on, it isn’t too hard to get sheep in the early game. It might be slow at first but you’d have an instant road to make it past blue to the wheat port. It’s not guaranteed you’d beat him there, but the reward would be amazing if you made it.

[@DyLightedCatan]

Thanks for commenting! I agree the reward would be nice, but relying your entire game on a port is somewhat scary if I can't get it or if it takes a really long time. That being said, it's a creative setup for sure!

[@davidkresch]

I think it would have made sense for blue to go for the 5 4 desert, in order to try and wreck your game. he got a lot of good rolls to get himself most of the way there. I think with table-talk he could have gotten the right trades pretty easily. It also would've gotten him a wheat port with pretty good production.

[@fishplantfish]

If your final settlement was delayed and you built a road instead, you couldve slowed blue down by getting longest road first. Or a dev card gamble - monopoly/road building could have stopped him as well

[@theone9273]

I had no freaking idea there was this much strategy to catan

[@DyLightedCatan]

Yea! This is just the surface too! If you watch some of my other videos, they’ll get even more in depth.

[@flayrekapperz7862]

There’s a lot of luck too, but yeah it can get pretty strategic ! I personally really like Cyclades to play “competitively”” with friends as there is almost no luck involved (we ban Pegasus lol)

[@danandi1]

Great video! Towards the end would you consider building a road instead of you last settlement on the 11,4 so you can get longest road earlier and make it less likely for blue or green to sneak a win?

[@christophewakim3587]

8:20 i know this strategy i really like it.

[@Mtmessick]

You mentioned buying dev cards before building because you want options. Does the same theory apply to when the robber is blocking you and you have a knight? Do you move the robber immediately so you can free up your hex or do you wait for a roll to see if you get a probable 7 and move him for free? That way you have your knight remaining in your hand for defensive plays. Just curious because I’m new to the game! I’m loving the O/W/S gameplay! Thanks for the tips 👍

[@DyLightedCatan]

Great question. Usually when the robber is on your hex, you want to play your knight before you roll. However, if you are at 7 cards, do NOT play the knight before you roll. This is because playing the knight will bring you to 8 cards and you might roll a 7 losing half your cards. Hope this helps!

[@Mtmessick]

@@DyLightedCatan that was helpful thank you! Thanks for the timely reply. Two more questions. 1: I’ve been having a hard time being last pick and being given poor productivity hex’s to choose from. How do you usually choose placements when given poor options? 2: Do you have a discord for your channel? I think that would be a great asset for the online Catan community!

[@DyLightedCatan]

@@Mtmessick 1. I don’t think I can give a short answer to your first question. 4th position is typically very hard to choose from and requires a more nuanced answer. I’m afraid I would be simplifying things if I just gave you a response in the comments. Here are some videos where I play in 4th position. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZbKkGhuidNqnLc kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5W1e4Nppbx0rc0 2. I do have a discord! Check the description on my newest videos or channel page and you’ll find it there!

[@thomasreasoner6253]

Regarding starting placement in 4th position, I would have taken the 8/3 wood port and the 9/6/2. That makes the game-plan dead-simple: corner as much of the wood production as possible by expanding around the 8 and 6 wood, and then use the wood port for a devastating advantage.

[@prolixjapan7325]

same opinion. You could mass produce wood, to sell for 2:1, and easily make the longest road without anyone cutting your way.

[@viktor9374]

I have no idea what is happening, but that won't stop me from watching this

[@ShamGam3]

I'm so triggered about where the development card stack is placed in this game...

[@DyLightedCatan]

It used to bother me too. If you’re a new player it can be hard to find.

[@Frommerman]

I'm far from a professional player, but the way I figure it is that resources in my hand aren't doing me any good and are at risk of being lost, while resources committed to the board are permanently preserved. As a result, I do everything in my power, trading super aggressively, to commit resources to the board as fast as possible. I do 2-1 and 3-1 trades with other players all the time, because the way I see it they could be unable to use all the resources I give them, but I can use what I'm getting right now to make permanent gains.

[@aleksandar5323]

17:34 It would have been the right play, if the 3:1 port was a high-producing spot. But since it's not, you should have probably waited for your wood and not feed green.

[@rileygrill2369]

I really liked your placement in this. You also get the triple 11 after your first settlement. Exactly where I would have went.

[@izanagi1047]

Interesting video as always Dyl, was nice meeting you this weekend. A few minor things about the video, your comment about drawing in card games isn't really a good comparison here, there are a lot of situations in a TCG where you'd want to search out or dump the cards you don't want to draw out first before using your draw cards. On a different note your editing has really been improving as of late, good work with that dude. More specific to this game though, there are points late game where you're holding cards because you think you'll get good trades where I think it's unreasonable to assume people will still be trading. Also I really hate watching people use knights to try to steal specific cards, in my experience that's a really bad way to use that card, essentially making it a -2 in card advantage. Past that though it was an interesting game to watch, gotta love those 3 or 4 point swings for game.

[@DyLightedCatan]

Thanks for the comment. It was really nice meeting you too! About the card game thing, I’m not very familiar with MTG so it was a bad example to use, but in Hearthstone you’d always want to draw first to see what other options you’d get. Bad analogy, but hopefully the point gets across. About the trading, I was sad I lost the ore late game not just because of trading, but because I knew blue needed the ore to city. I cut that part out for audio, but perhaps should’ve left it in. I also thought people would still trade since they had to upgrade and I’d be generous since ore was worthless for me at that point. In general I don’t like stealing for specific resources either, but when you get a 100% card (1 card left) you need I think it’s worth it.

[@snakbyteMike]

Why get the 3:1 port if you aren’t going to use it? At 26:00 you could have built a road, giving you a better opportunity to take longest road. You mentioned that it doesn’t make sense, but I don’t understand why

[@jinblank5162]

this was a great vid and a great game! thanks for the content

[@Austin101123]

I was thinking of taking the 3/4/8 brick wood wheat and the 9/6/2. Youd get a guaranteed 3 port, which for your wood would actually be better than taking the 8/3 because of the greater wood production, and you can get the 11/4 for stone. Your stone production wouldn't be that high but you'll have high wood conversion. What are your thoughts on this? How much worse is it compared to what you did?

[@stephenpelle1281]

How is green capped at 10 roads when he has a second settlement in the top left with plenty of room to expand?

[@icantfindanopenname]

Can you do a video about low lumber boards?

[@СтаниславНикитин-э7р]

What do think about placements 9-6-2 and 8-3 with a wood port? You have a lot of wood to trade

[@DyLightedCatan]

I’ve already answered this question in another comment if you want to read that. It’s a bad idea to start with only 2/5 resources. It’s also a bad idea to place on a coastal spot as 4th position since it leaves a ton of space open for other players. Lastly, port strategies are flexible, but inherently inefficient as you have to port 2:1 for every resource while everyone else can simply use their resources efficiently without converting it. I hope this helps.

[@СтаниславНикитин-э7р]

@ApplepieFTW Creative thought for sure, but if I had to choose an alternative I’d choose the 3/4/8 (free road) and the 9/10/2 for the cut off to the brick port. I like your option, but I don’t think it’s good enough to win.

[@DyLightedCatan]

Awesome!! So glad I could help!

[@jacobbullinger6858]

Any reason you shouldn't just go to the 8-3 wood port (road pointed to the left) and the 9-6-2 right off the bat? Have your 9-6-2 road pointed upward with the intention to get the 3-6. This would be massive amounts of wood and you'd have the wood point, and you'd be able to get to the 8-4-desert on your first move if your opponent doesn't get there first. Is this a bad strategy? To completely play your game through wood?

[@DyLightedCatan]

Jacob Bullinger Great question. Port strategies are inherently inefficient as you have to port all your resources 2:1. This means getting a single wood is only half of a resource, compared to other players just producing diverse resources and using them. In general it’s a not a good idea to play with 2/5 resource types. In this case you are starting with only wood and little sheep.

[@jacobbullinger6858]

OK cool thanks. In this case I would actually have the 2-ore and the 3-sheep, not just sheep, but I have a feeling that doesn't change your answer much haha. So ports need to be like #3 priority, never #1? That seems fair. I always really enjoy playing the game, but deciding on first settlements in Catan is truly one of my favorite decision making activities in the entirety of board games. Always interesting. Thanks for the reply.

[@DyLightedCatan]

[@SlowMoebius]

What would you say are the main factors that separate very good players from the best in the world?

[@michaellee4276]

Obviously You assumed you had longer to build longest road than you did. Options: connect your roads before building to your fourth settlement. I can't suggest this because getting on the 4 wood really could improve your chances to build roads by giving you 7 wood dots and 7 brick dots (not counting cities). Which brings me to option 2. Build to the 4/11 Wood/Ore spot first, THEN go for the 3for1 port . This choice was made before the importance of longest road was clear and it would have been extremely unorthodox, so I am not going to say you should have done it. But I think it would have given you the best chance to win. But in the end, you had the better set up throughout the game. Blue Built around the desert for god's sake. You should have just rolled better. Ending the game on 8,9, 8 and 4 was perfect for blue (4 wood, 8 Wheat with a wheat port). You couldn't cheat better than that. (also the mistake you mention with the development card was absolutely the crucial play. Buying a road there wins the game)

[@danielshinar8085]

Can you explain me the points thingy? Like I didn't understand how you gave your wood 4 points, sheep is 3 points and your brick 7 points

[@DyLightedCatan]

When I say points, it’s just the number of dots on the tile. So the 8 wood is 5 “points” of production. If we totally up the 8wood/4wheat/3sheep (top one) we have 5 points of wood, 3 points of wheat, and 2 points of sheep. It adds up to 10 points of production. I hope this helps! Let me know.

[@danielshinar8085]

@@DyLightedCatan so the points are basically how many production placements you occupy? I dont think I've understood why you gave the wood 5 point or the wheat 3 points. Sorry

[@DyLightedCatan]

@@danielshinar8085 Exactly! The number of dots you occupy. The more dots, the more likely it is to roll.

[@danielshinar8085]

@@DyLightedCatan ok I finally really understood the point system, it's based on how likely the number is to roll on the dices let's say we put a settlement on a 5 resource(dousnt metter which) so there is 4 possible outcomes of the dices to get to 5 so it gets 4 point - (1, 4) ,(2, 3), (3, 2) and (4, 1). So if we look at 8wood/4wheat/3sheep it goes like this 8wood = 5 points - (2,6), (3,5), (4,4), (5,3), (6,2) 4wheat = 3 points - (1,3), (2,2), (3,1) 3sheep = 2 points - (1,2), (2,1) Than we add all the points so 5 + 3 + 2 = 10 points of production hope I made it clear.

As green I would've placed my last settlement on the 4-5-11 I think

[@kayleelomas5598]

My parents always change the game and make it harder for me to win. They put the tokens on after we place our settlements, which makes my whole strat useless cause I have no idea what people are going to want.

[@DyLightedCatan]

That's certainly a way to play! However online Catan doesn't allow any house rules sadly.

Why discord instead of Reddit?

[@Panda-so1ym]

What would i choose ? high ore or high wood

[@DyLightedCatan]

@Panda 123 Remember you need brick to go with wood and wheat to go with ore!

[@Jannesverige]

I love this game, but not to just go for win but the time in between start and game over. The chatting, the trading, the everything else.

[@timj6453]

This game is difficult bro, can you coach me one game?

[@DyLightedCatan]

Hmmmm perhaps. I first recommend watching all of Neonate's Catan videos and all of my videos. Then message me on discord and we can chat from there.

Green didn’t use the knight bc he tought orange will do it

[@Mikkerd12]

8/3 and 9/6/2 may have been an option

[@DyLightedCatan]

I thought about this, but placing on the coast allows my opponents a lot more space on the board. I think being able to expand to another triple hex spot is strong.

[@DinoZoffEx]

Hi DylLighted. Please avoid moving the board up and down while waiting for the other player's turn. It is distracting for the viewers. If possible try to keep the board in the same place during the whole game. Thanks!

[@DyLightedCatan]

@Dino Zoff Thanks for the feedback. I’ll keep that in mind for next time.

[@DinoZoffEx]

It's not a big deal. It was a bit annoying initially, but I've already used to it. 😃

[@TheCyberstormer]

He said he is on 7 points of brick, but its 6/3? Can somebody explain please :D

[@nopantssteve6784]

He’s talking about the dots under the numbers. 5 points of production on the 6. 2 points of production on the 3. 5+2=7

[@iwersonsch5131]

Would it have been viable to go for longest road before the 4 11 settlement?

[@weckar]

Playing IRL games with my friends nobody ever buys development cards. It always just feels subpar.

[@davidos4023]

I always find 11 to be a decent number xd

[@NicoPercha]

Please put Spanish subtitles 🙏🏼

[@jackming-hung8064]

The biggest mistake was not to build longest road first.

[@romanbayani9726]

Fuck longest roads

[@s4098429]

How is that ‘orange’? It’s clearly yellow!

[@tommyle1373]

2to1 trade w green was terrible. U should have waited because that settlement is a weak spot. It doesn’t do much for your hand.

[@DyLightedCatan]

After rewatching this, I’d have to disagree. What does this do for green at 3 cards? Not much. This trades gives me a settlement which isn’t strong in production, but provides the flexibility since I get on the 3:1 port. If I was to repeat this situation, I’d still give the trade.

kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6mrZaKGpJaWhpI Beavis and butthead would catch that too :P (I roll 9, giving me wood part :D)

[@leonpetrich5864]

Ports are gonna be.... very... imPORTant this game...
