TOP 100 Catan Gameplay - Catan Pro Climbs the Ladder

[@johnmcdermott5922]

Dylan, i have been a fan of yours for years… my biggest dream being to be able to play you and I did… and funny enough it was in a game where i didnt know it was you. It was an honor and a privilege. You were the reason I first ever started playing catan. I was black in this game, and yes I am an odd player at times. I will never forget tonight where i come home after a long day of work… i see ME playing in a dylighted video. Bro you are special, never change.

[@leonhard6327]

Yo black, you owe Dylan a wood or brick 1:1 for the open 6 3 |-')

[@E_-_-]

Cool! Nicely played mate

[@TheTTL1997]

Hey Dylan, I was red this game 😄 Honored to finally be featured on the channel, especially in a win. I was a few beers in by this game, so it was a trip watching and not remembering what happened 😂 GG man. I think if you ported before my mono things might have turned out differently. Edit: Also, the reason I was giving black those 1 for 1s was because i felt bad for the dirty mono on them earlier 😅 you were spot on calling me out for being an emotional player

[@johnmcdermott5922]

Im black… nice to meet you man. Good games!

[@TheTTL1997]

It was nice playing with you, too! You did a really good job working with the table so that we had a chance to take down Dylan. Sorry again for the dirty mono. You had a really good attitude and I like playing games with players like you who are funny and willing to work together. Hope to see you in a game again @@johnmcdermott5922

[@alexandernater6284]

Black messed up big time in the final orbit. Should have asked for multiple cards from both red and blue in this spot.

[@catanace1741]

Emotional players are Dylan's worst enemies, as he became the dirtiest of Catan players. I wonder if people who know who he is still make deal with him in games, given how he made himself the spokesperson for scamming.

[@catanace1741]

@@johnmcdermott5922 While you're here, I wonder if you could explain why you went on the 3-5-8 instead of the 10-5-8? It just lookes like such a weird choice.

Lmao I’m early but this is genius

[@JohnSmithEx]

For some reason this highly upvoted comment is not high enough in the list. It seems that the KZbin algorithm is laughing at peoples' attempt to block spoilers.

did u just call likes upvotes @@JohnSmithEx

[@JohnSmithEx]

@@tpwrm3458 yep, I think these are synonymous.

[@TheSportyKorean]

I think this endgame is one of the highest level games I’ve watched from a tactical perspective at least. Super fun one!

[@alexandernater6284]

Black giving red a 1:1 at 9 points and 9 cards is not really high level.

[@petrolleshi7619]

Also not using rb to block reds last settle was a mistake

[@adamjames4959]

I think you overthink most everything. Not trading in your rock, not using your knights, not using the road building…

[@reidhendrick2839]

Got to love Colonist logic where I get chat banned for saying the word "crap," but Dylan is able to create an account with Slut in the name, haha

[@Rombik97]

Hahahahhahaha 100%

[@hussainkotwal2550]

babe, wake up. new dylighted video just dropped

[@elefantindaroom3543]

I'm not going to apply for the Creative Director because I think I would be bad at it, but you should do Guess the Elo Catan

[@Flapinski]

DyLighted, what if you had a series where you would shadow coach a new catan player? You hop in a call with them and coach them through a match and see what their thought process is and give them live tips and feedback.

[@leonhard6327]

black: you owe me a 2:1 Dylan: yeah I do *trades* Me sitting in my room watching this: Doesn't black owe you a wood or brick 1:1?

[@monstereugene]

I missed the move at the end too lol was too busy listening to whatever you were saying about black

[@JohnSmithEx]

Me too. Probably that's also the reason that Dylan missed the move: overthinking galore.

[@raychung9481]

I can see the road building move. It’s both offense and defense. U can block the settlement spot from red. And u can add one settlement spot to urself. So u can win with even 5 sheep 1 wheat. The flexibility is higher

[@receivethelearn]

I saw the move but I also didn't see 99% of everything else that you did

[@resurrectsean2438]

Love the content I think ur name helped with that early game deal lol

[@mikewilklow9337]

I honestly didn't see that red could win, but I also couldn't think of a reason to hold the road building. Playing it makes you less scary and you could never get plowed is what I was thinking. Although I guess you were at 9 so hard to be less scary.

[@JohnSmithEx]

Dylan had already revealed in the chat that he holds a road-building card.

[@analogmike1534]

Saw the RB move at the end, was hoping it wouldn’t come back to bite you, but unfortunately it did.

[@shawnpretzel6182]

Yeah Dylan idk if you never see these comments but for the love of God STOP TAKING SO LONG ON YOUR TURNS. Every time you take to long and you miss doing something it loses you the game.

[@ryanmccarthy9514]

i saw the move briefly, got sucked into other things going on in the game, then completely forgot until red built there. i feel ya bro

[@kellerh-town]

Please keep posting! Love the content!

[@Animexenjoyer]

Dude I knew you should have played that road building.

[@mongosling387]

I didn't see the road building move, either 😅

[@flugal_rere]

Me hollering about the road building, but he couldn't hear me.

[@analogmike1534]

SAME

[@dundeedideley1773]

Video idea: make the chat font bigger, remember that most people watch on mobile. This makes it almost impossible to read

[@JohnSmithEx]

Solution: install the Stylus extension in your browser, and add this CSS rule for all pages in the colonist domain: div#game-chat-text, div#game-log-text { font-size:1.2rem; width:400px!important; } It will make the letters bigger, and the box wider.

[@spirtjam]

That was a well played game

[@JohnSmithEx]

By whom? By Dylan or by all 4 players?

[@spirtjam]

@@JohnSmithEx I wanna say all 4

[@Sunbeatle707]

Great game

[@DanielSong39]

I mean there was the big blunder with failing to port due to running out of time It's like seeing Chess Vibes hang a rook, I mean it happens sometimes but you really don't need to look past that. Without that blunder you win

[@siratthebox]

So much of Catan is being allowed to win :D

[@camburridge4022]

Love the content

[@pejafan]

Got too cute that game

[@riquelme54181]

Love the new trade system. Gg

[@TS-yc2do]

With online games you have to be careful going back on your deals. Most of the time the person you screwed will spend the rest of the game just targeting you no matter what

[@Antwon4044]

Dang man. Had 3 sheep and 3 ore. And rb. 2-1 sheep and 3-1 ore for settle with rb and u win thee turn before

[@bjornlindqvist8305]

gg!

[@TheRealAT]

I saw the rb move immediately 😂

[@Jamaha5]

Black shouldn’t have even settled there. If orange builds two more roads he retakes longest And you def. weren’t thinking about red or those road builds enough. Gg tho!

[@cballivian]

I am a very amateur player, but it always shocks me how little interest there is in an early second city. I understand you become more of target, but you knew you where being blocked anyway, might as well get the extra production.

[@JohnSmithEx]

The consensus among strong players is that 2 devs outvalue one city. Especially if you already have a city. The second city might give you too much production. In this particular case the value of the second city was lower than usual, because it would be on a 2-hex spot, and would increase the production of a resource that is already plentiful (sheep).

[@bftjoe]

Why didn't you go for 2nd city early? Even if you're going for dev cards, how will you buy them with little production? Weird game from you.

[@RedChicken-f4q]

Nice username lol

[@anonymous_magic1750]

Noooo. Really wished you the win. At least We know how We can do better

[@Marvinsphone]

It’s your fault

[@KickAssets]

Great game design when you can just buy Devs for a win.

[@JohnSmithEx]

Klaus Teuber is rolling in his grave. Buying devs is a strong strategy, provided that you know how to use them. And even if you do, your opponents can buy devs too.

[@elefantindaroom3543]

First!

[@bluestripbanditogaming5005]

his name is PHXcoyote yeah hes a weak player

[@mattymin10]

im just better than dykan at catan

[@TheCheapMedic]

The way you so openly are OK with lying to win and renege on trades is sad. Sure winning is great, but lying is cheating no matter how you put it. You make a deal with an opponent to get something you need and when time comes to pay it back you don't do it. If you couldn't create new accounts and hide behind the anonymity you would quickly be embargoed and find it hard to ever trade again because of your character.

[@maff_]

I do agree that reneging deals is likely counterproductive to the human element; if you never fulfill your agreements or promises people will no longer trust you. However lying isn’t cheating. The extortion trades and non-card agreements are classified as “non-binding” by the official tournament rules. So failing to uphold a deal is very much allowed. In high level tournament play the non-binding deal negation happens more often It’s a similar concept in poker. If I ask you “do you have pocket Aces?”, there is no obligation to tell the truth. It’s just culturally expected in that game.

[@TheCheapMedic]

Except in high level tournaments as is my point, if you continually do this, no-one will ever trust you. As for poker, it's actually against the rules to disclose your hand so you are only allowed to lie (unless there is no more betting to take place in the hand).@@maff_

[@Funglutton]

It's not, it's bluffing. I tend not to do it myself but if I were playing at a higher level I would consider it in certain situations. Choosing when to break your deal is the key aspect, because it will turn other players against you most likely so you need to time it so the payoff is greater than the ongoing stigma. Also the way you break the deal is important. If you explain why nothing else makes sense and maybe give the other player another option where you don't have to break the deal, you can extort and 'honour' the deal, or at least make them feel like you're not a total dick.

[@JohnSmithEx]

There is only one way to put it: by the rules. Cheating is breaking a rule. There is no rule "thou shalt be honest" in the official rulebook of Catan, so lying is not cheating.

[@Funglutton]

@@JohnSmithEx it specifically says all deals are non-binding. So specifically says that breaking your agreement is within the rules.

[@DrHeinzDoofenshmirtz]

Red whined the whole game. Please just stop and play the game instead of calling out the result at the beginning.
