15:09 - Why did you build your road left from your city instead of left from your 6/11/5 settlement? It's three roads to link up with your other roads from either spot, and by going from your city to get there, doesn't that prevent you from extending your road further while simultaneously trying to settle on the 8/10 later if needed? All I can really think of is that building connecting roads from your city keeps Blue and Green from being able to cut you off, but they would have to sacrifice their own longest road endeavors to do so anyway, and it also makes Red more able to cut you off. I will say, at that point the game is pretty close to over, because once you connect your roads and play your third knight, you've done it, but is there a specific overall reason why you chose to connect in that direction instead of from the 6/11/5? Also, playing on very fast mode could be the reason, and that would be perfectly legitimate, haha. EDIT: When making comments like this, I usually forget to also mention that I enjoyed both the video AND your gameplay and insightful commentary, and I just wanted to be absolutely clear that I've liked, subscribed, and rung the bell because this kind of content is what I want to watch. Obviously in very fast mode and just in general, nobody's going to eliminate all mistakes (could have won a turn earlier when you got largest army if you'd ported your sheep and 4:1'd your ore for longest road), but man, I know I'm personally the worst at actually seeing a win when I've got it, and proof of that is that I would have started building up to the 8/10 instead of connecting my roads, and that would have either further delayed my win or cost me the game. I also play Hearthstone a decent amount, and I dislike playing pretty much any deck but Control and Midrange bordering on Control, and I almost never see lethal unless it's painfully obvious, nor do I look for burst damage (or Victory Point) options.
Quoted from the description: 'The game is played on Colonist (colonist.io) and based on the settlers of Catan board game. If you like all things Catan consider checking out some of my other video guides.' Enjoy!
