Wanted to share here for those who haven't heard yet but on April 1st 2023 Klaus Teuber the founder of Catan has sadly passed away at the age of 70, let Catan live on in his name.
RIP. Just started getting back into Catan in the past couple of months. I love the perfect blend of depth, strategy, & simplicity. Klaus' spirit will live on!
Red lost the social game soooo bad. That first interaction he had where he said that anyone who robs him gets robbed twice just turned the others against him. For blue and black, it 100% wasn't about who won, it was just about red losing.
It wasn’t even just the first interaction. The entire game he was being an jerk lol. Right near the end instead of working with blue and black he started calling them dumbass’s.
Mr. Editor is doing a great job, I've noticed improvements over the past weeks. One thing I'd love to see is increasing the chat box size, maybe overlaying the feed in the top right to make room (I don't think anyone looks at that anyway). Or maybe some other solution so viewers can read the chat. I watch on my TV and the text is way too small to read except when you zoom in for us. Amazing work!
ive said this before in other videos but, the chat box needs to be super imposed and blown up in the bottom left of the screen. its not readable on mobile even in 1080p and its kind of annoying.
Minor point: when you plowed at 13:09, probably should have extended from 8,3,4 instead of from your 9,2,10. A little harder for your opponents to block your connect.
Blue getting 3 roads is more probable than red getting 2 roads because red is not in good terms with the rest of the folks and blue has good road material
The discussion at the end about the 50/50 for 2 players merging into 1 was really interesting. I can’t think of any way to make that deal legally binding in Catan though unfortunately.
In a way helping red with that settlement and city with trades before you made moves helped you because it painted him as the big villain of the table and ended up getting him robbed more
Damn...harsh as he was, Red was seriously trying to get the table to understand the situation. He knew how close you were and was actually giving good advice to stave off your win, but no one would listen. Feels bad when someone at the table is trying to get people to work together and no one else is listening. But hey, that's good news for you, lol! GG!
as others have already said: he made the mistake very early in the game, when he said he´d rob black twice for every time he gets robbed by him... we can´t say for sure if he said that thing just out of saltiness, or if he thought this approach somehow actually is good table talk. but anyhow: seeing the way the others reacted, he should have followed up by saying: "guys i´m sorry, it obv. came out wrong. was just trying to make some friendly banter, all good. you actually made the objectively right choice there to rob from me..." or something along those lines he might have been able to turn the social game around and people might have listened to him later
That beeing said it would prolong the game, black could win before Dylan gets road material. Or they maybe get back army. There can be a lot of stuff happening
I like the shout-out to my Monopoly strategy at the end there. I also use similar strategies in Catan when playing with my Monopoly buddies, just like what you said with trading all the cards away to your opponent based on a dice roll. However, I'll also state that these dice roll deals are NOT binding and you can just straight-up lie and not actually do what you said you would do.
Been watching a lot of these vids, and one thing I think I havent seen explained is why it seems that it’s always better to play a knight before rolling. I can’t think of why it would be so important…
You only play the "aggressive knight" before rolling if the robber is in one of your tiles. Should that number roll, then you have removed the robber beforehand and get to keep the resources. otherwise, there is no point in playing the knight before rolling
Black was trying to get army before you. He didn't know you had a knight and was hoping he could get one before you. What he did was entirely reasonable from his position.
Taking 9 2 10 AND pointing down over talking 9 11 10 doesn't seem to make any sense to me. You basically took 1 more wheat production point over 2 sheep pp which you don't have at all with your choice. That's one thing. The other is the expansion quality. With your setup you go for more ore expansion which you have a lot already. Taking 9 11 10 and pointing left increases wheat production which balances the setup better imo.
the problem with that kind of play is that blue can plow his wheat expansion. i would rather make more expansion spots that cannot be taken easily if i have a low wood and brick production

Enlarging text box at times is really nice, but 8 definitely do look at the game dialogue in the top right! Please don't overlay there 😊

Blue putting 3 roads down is less probable than red pulling a road building and stop the connect imo
Rest in peace Klaus Teuber. Thank you for creating this beautiful game.

How do you mean unfortunately? You don't want this to become a meta thing. That's a horrible game experience for the other players.

Rest In Peace Klaus Teuber ❤️
Extending road by buying a dev card, what a tech 😮💨💀
Yooo sensei
The "awww Geez" at 12:55 had me dying

Goes to show the way you say things can matter more then what you’re saying
as others have already said: he made the mistake very early in the game, when he said he´d rob black twice for every time he gets robbed by him...
we can´t say for sure if he said that thing just out of saltiness, or if he thought this approach somehow actually is good table talk.
but anyhow: seeing the way the others reacted, he should have followed up by saying: "guys i´m sorry, it obv. came out wrong. was just trying to make some friendly banter, all good. you actually made the objectively right choice there to rob from me..." or something along those lines

giving red the city was actually kinda smart, it made him look scarier so they wouldnt steal from you
that reaction to blacks last moves was hilarious and adorable lol
Best catan RUclipsr
One of the best.
Road to rank 1 catan RUclipsr series
Not sure Black's road was ever really a threat after you connected. They were capped at max length 10, and you had plenty of road space left!
That beeing said it would prolong the game, black could win before Dylan gets road material.
Or they maybe get back army. There can be a lot of stuff happening
They were trying to get army first. What they did was reasonable.
Dylan you're looking really jacked lately. Also you can do it, we believe in you!
I love these videos so much, please keep this series going. I look forward to your videos every time I check my subscriptions! :)
13:14 you should play roads from the 8 ore so red has no opportunity to cut ur road off
I like the shout-out to my Monopoly strategy at the end there.

after Road to Rank 1, I'd be very interested in Dylan trying his hand at some C&K!
Personally it's my favorite way to play Catan with my friends.
Dylighted your videos are the only thing I look forward to. ❤
Been watching a lot of these vids, and one thing I think I havent seen explained is why it seems that it’s always better to play a knight before rolling. I can’t think of why it would be so important…
because the dice may give the number the Knight is on and you're denied those resources
You only play the "aggressive knight" before rolling if the robber is in one of your tiles. Should that number roll, then you have removed the robber beforehand and get to keep the resources. otherwise, there is no point in playing the knight before rolling
Great content! Could you share the change in your rank at the end of the games?
Keep grinding 💪
Black was trying to get army before you. He didn't know you had a knight and was hoping he could get one before you. What he did was entirely reasonable from his position.
Frequent uploads, a surprise to be sure but a welcome one
Did you ever think about just taking the 8,4 and cutting red off from the ore port. As one of your two starting settles
this game was so chaotic lol well played!
It would be funny if you did “road” to rank 1, where you were the longest road player every game
yay please keep making these!
Good video. You need to work on the static sound quality
Black was hoping you don't have a knight and take army before you! And also hope to get roads donated in next turn if he didn't get a knight himself??
Why didn’t you point down on the first settlement
Still waiting on that expansion video Dylan!!
Nah bringing up the win% is craaazy 😂😂
i don't understand why you don't type in chat when everyone is choosing their settlements
Where should blue have placed his settlements?
Is there a scenario where you steal the ore port from red?
Point road down on 3-4-8 and plow red to the ore port.
Great series btw, but just wanted to comment I think the noise gate on your mic is little too much. It’s muffling the beginning of each word you say.
Will fix this. Thank you.

Poggers!!
why does dylan always changes accounts?
I just change names because people recognize and rob me for it.
@@DyLightedCatan It’s 100% a real challenge! Confirmed as of recent 😅
You should slow down a little more. I have to really actively listen to follow you and I still miss a lot. I watched this on 0.8 speed which helped.
kinda dumb opponents lol
You're tilting man...
first
I wanted to be first :(
Cap
No you're not, and even if you were nobody would care.
