4:29 the ore port is a mistake. Please ignore it. It should be any 2:1 port except the ore port.

How can we get access to your economic calculator?

I will make a video on it later and share it then. Want to do it justice.

Which principles did I miss?

[@frampox]

Cost of building and maintaining the LR is much less then LA

[@Treeckosaurus]

From my experience the cost is pretty much the same, but knights give return on investment

Dude I just went on catan universe for the first time in like almost a year and the top players have 2000-2300 Elo. That’s outrageous. Is it legit? Highest I’ve ever seen was 1500. Are they cheating?

[@Treeckosaurus]

I don't know, there's also people farming beginners on the starter board.

Even if this is just reading off something you found at least put the bare minimum of effort in. At 5:40 you talk about an example board state where you don't actually show the board. It's painfully obvious you don't know anything and is just badly copying someone else's work.

Hi Marcus. Thank you for your feedback. I see you're saying a couple of things: 1. I didn't make an effort with this video. 2. At 5:40 I didn't show the board. 3. I don't know my stuff. 4. I'm copying someone else's work. 1. I did. It took weeks. I came up with all the principles from the top of my head and I haven't seen anyone make a similar type of video before going off of principles. I was inspired by chess KZbinr I follow who did the same thing for chess. 2. It's not based on a board. It's fictional example to illustrate the principle. It's a bit of an exxagated example, but could you tell me what you consider further wrong with it? 3. That's up to everyone for themselves to decide. Do you care to know what I consider my best Catan achievements? 4. I copied the format from the chess KZbinr, but other than that I don't know what you're talking about. Obviously many of the easy and intermediate examples have been discussed by many Catan KZbinrs, but for a new player it's insightful to know, wouldn't you agree? Most advanced principles I haven't seen discussed by anyone else before outside of myself.

Who are you 😅 Any Catan achievements besides board game night against your family?
