Catan Grandmaster Plays With Bot Placements?!

Рет қаралды 9,590

Жыл бұрын

I've been asked "how to improve my starting settlement placements?" many times. Well, today we are going to follow one of the strongest opening Catan principles - When in doubt, produce. I am going to let the bot decide my placements in the 3rd position. The Colonist.io bots will always take the high producing spots available on the board. This means we will need to outplay our opponents with optimal decisions and high production.
Enjoy the challenge and let me know if you want this to be a future series.
Stay great!

It's giving 'traded a paper clip for a house' vibes

Love your attitude of “stay positive and in the game” and always being willing to constantly pivot your strategy according to the situation. That flexible positive mindset is so inspiring and the games are a lot more dynamic and interesting because of it. The comeback at the end was clutch but totally deserved. Great job with the editing too, I didn’t even notice it was edited heavily until the end. Well done drew!

You have to find attitudes and mindsets that help your game. I’ve pulled many games out of the depths of despair by fighting for every point and staying persistent in winning. Glad you noticed that!

That was insane, 3 resources no ore and you managed to win, because you had a clear plan and followed it through (and got a little lucky with the pulls haha)

not "a little lucky", that was AMAZING pull luck. The OWS guy pulled only 1 vp, rb and EIGHT knights while drew pulls 3 vps and mono?

Really great showcase of how to come back from a bad starting position, including taking advantage of your opponents' mistakes. I learned a ton -- thank you!!!

I think that a really good player doing lots of ranked game videos does actually push content. Dylan is like the only other one who does it

I love the challenges idea! I was thinking you could do one where you have to win with one placement on a single hex, or both placements on the coast.

I like the long vids. If you shorten the video too much, it´s hard to keep track of what happens during other people´s turns.

Another idea, if you are up for it or have the time. How about watch viewers games and analyze what they did right, or wrong and what not?::: Small Edit: Or games where you have arbitrary rules made up, like no trade at all. No ports, etcetc. The sky is the limit on that one. I guess, to a certain degree :P

Disclaimer - This is an unranked game, so the skill variations will be wide… I suppose that is also true for ranked games 😅 I decided if I am going to do ANY unranked gameplay, there has to be an element of added challenge to be post worthy.

@@dandydrew haha that's fair I've played some unranked and some games you get a nutted spot in like 3rd position. Just curious what do you think red did wrong this game? I kind of liked them getting sheep port and expanding to the middle part of board. Maybe not keeping roads in a row? Great content man keep it up!
