This was a stupid great board for both third and fourth position. I can't quite recall the last time I saw a board with THIS many formidable three-hex starting spot combinations. @.@ I absolutely agree with your decision to take 6/11/12 to plow Orange. It was basically either you or Orange having the liberty to do that, and you simply couldn't afford to allow Orange that insanely strong option. However, I also strongly agree with Red's decision to place on the 6/3. I think it made perfect sense for their pure O/W/S setup seeing they were on two sources of ore AND two sources of wheat from that move. And taking 9/12 wouldn't have made sense for them because then both their ore and wheat is too easily blockable.

Yeah some bonkers setups. TBH, shouldbe seen there bee a high likelyhood that the 6/3 got placed.

First, you blocked reds 10 wheat multiple times right after the 6 wheat rolled once or twice you should go for his 5 sheep to slow him down, blocking the resource his hand is filled with is not the right move. Also, I think at 23:39 the play should be take the easy point on 12 brick, I know it may sound counterintuitive but it put you on 8 points with the potential to sneak road instead of showing the whole board that you are going all in. You could even encourage blue to take road and you then play for devs. You got the next one 👍🏼

Sheep block makes a ton of sense to me, good catch. 12 brick I think is a bit beyond my current skill level to be honest, maybe will get there in the future.

Oof, blue really screwed orange with those placements, keeping them off the brick. I'm not surprised they plowed the brick port. I kind of like 9 12 sheep port to the 9 10. There's a real chance that red plows the ore port, so leaving them a juicy 6 open in the middle might deter them. I dunno, just spitballing. Edit: lol oh that red, I just knew they were a thirsty OWS player. That "No idea where I'm going" just seemed toooooo sus.

13:33 you were right with your initial instinct to hit red’s 5 sheep. That or the 10 wheat since blue is gonna settle on it. But hitting the 3 ore doesn’t hurt red that much and with orange having two devs, odds are the robber goes right back on the 9 ore and hurts you the most

15:34 you gotta trade wheat or 4:1 and pop a dev. You’re 9 ore is blocked (due to orange the previous orbit). Holding 5 wheat and 1 sheep does nothing.

20:38 I think orange is more of an army threat since they have it, red has 1 knight played and 1 down dev, and orange has wood port and city on 6 wood. Orange just keeps the 9 ore blocked and they hold army. Maybe after red gets the wheat port they can start catching up, but that will be a while.

And I honestly think Orange was right to plow you as they did: because you certainly WERE in a legit position to win this.............with the added caveat that Blue should have communicated/coordinated better to plow Blue to the 3:1 port at the bottom left corner of the map. So I sympathize with the frustration you felt in it seeming like they were unilaterally targeting you and not taking Red as equally as seriously as they should, but I can't fault Orange's plow decision all the same. Really I think Blue is most at fault for not utilizing the chat feature more and ensuring they had the resources to prevent Red from settling and, if not, securing the trades necessary to pull that off.

Like, yes I had win in hand. I guess I just don't see the point in going from someone potentially at 9 and giving it to... someone else potentially at 9. Equal threat level, and they did nothing to try and prevent red or help blue.

I’ve been enjoying your videos. Ranked videos are cool but I wonder if there’s other opportunities in the catan video space, maybe like pro level casting or guides. Watching has given me inspiration to try the game out. Thanks!

Interesting idea, would love to commentate some high level games at some point. I’m always down to try out new things (right now the 1v1 tourney is exciting but over the next 5-7 weeks so kinda slow). Most likely will pop back to other games. Optimizing the channel for my fun :)

at 24:16 you should have built one road toward 4-11 and one toward 12 bottom hex - this would have prevented your road from being cut & required red to make a decision to either take road OR settle but likely not both on their next turn. since your win condition was road + settle - this would given you flexibility to take the 12 hex IF red beat you to the 4 or take away the 4 brick settle if they went all in on road. with your current moves - taking road at the end instead of city was also the move as would have forced red to build more roads
