Brutal luck with the rolls completely evaporating when it mattered most.
Why does he look at his side monitor at 12:00 and immediately knows all cards black has??
hey dylan just a suggestion bc i know ur in communication with the creators of colonist. what if they implemented an incognito mode where it randomizes your username with every new lobby, so you wont get recognized? i feel reputation has hindered you and and dandy a lot
This is similar to what a lot of other ranked game mode lobbies are doing for other games. Their names could literally be their color.
also adding the ability to join lobbies through a code to the website
This is crucial. When I was pushing first on leaderbords for CK it was such a pain to get targetted
I think that part of the beauty of catan is that it is self balancing. If people know you are a strong player, they target you and balance the game out. It's built into the game and is a really important part of it imo
I mean it hindered dandy so much he got rank one, good point.
You got no rolls for two cycles and Black cleared out the entire deck
What’s with the thumbnail? There were no 4 8 10 brick cluster
Clickbait
Couldn't one make an argument for taking the 3 wood, 10 brick and then plow red immediately since you start with a road in hand? Great video as always!
listen in at 3:15
he says he could do that, but thinks it would be to slow.
i guess you sit on only 5 pips at that spot for too long and you have to wait even longer to profit from the brick port. since you now need 2 sheep which you dont produce and additional wood which you only produce on a 3 and on top you are missing out on the brick production on the 8, which you also need, in order to trade with the board. also the rest of the board has plenty of time realize how strong that position would become if they were to allow it to happen in a reasonably short amount of time
lol, loved the transition where you turned off the epic music upon realizing there were no more dev cards! thx for the great content :)
14:49 Seems like a perfect time to play the YoP to get 2 Wood, then road settle on the Wheat Port. Then, you'd still have 1 Brick, 3 Wheat, and 3 Ore left in your hand, enough to ALSO upgrade the 5-10 to a city on the same turn. Not only would this get you 2 additional points and bring you to 9, but it'd also allow you to trade in Wheat 2:1 when you have a city on a 9 AND 10 of Wheat, offering tons of flexibility. Not only that, but getting the city on the 5-10 boosts your Brick production for the Brick Port and boosts your Sheep to match your Ore and Wheat production, allowing you to buy more Devs and pull for a VP while protecting Largest Army.
Buying the Dev could've waited because I think getting the settlement on the Wheat Port ASAP was a higher priority to free up your hand even more.
Yep you’re very right. I think it was a mistake not doing that after reviewing the position. Thank you
I really think you should have used the Yop to settle on wheat port.. you always taught us to use it for hard tasks… and you could have citied it to win at the end
I thought of that, but he really needed to defend army in that situation, because there were lots of fresh devs on the table. so he had to pop. Then his hand was not enough to settle at that point without the sheep
@@michael-solomon wheat port flexibility wouldve been helpful tho
why not go for the 3 10 wood brick and plow red to the 8 10 with then the possibility to go on the brick port? Wouldn't that be less risky?
How do people just wander through life with their smoke detectors beeping?
On the turn where you used the yop, I might've considered settle, citying and saving the yop for a rainy day. All the yop did for you was produce a wood to build a road, and a sheep that sits in your hand. It's just not a very effective yop. Drew demonstrated in a recent vid, that if you're patient with the yop to use it when it's most effective, it can pay off.
I recognize you wanted to secure the settle spot which is valid. Another play which a lot have mentioned was using the yop to settle wheat port, then you can pop a dev with your newfound wheat port. I think that's also a valid idea. The play you made was also pretty good, I just don't think it was the best.
I had a game like this where my numbers when cold. The first 4 rotations I got no cards. It was brutal. I was so far behind. I don’t think there was anything you could have done. You didn’t get cards at the end.
I'd choose 10-3 (a road) as 2nd and take advantage of being the first to play to cut red and build road towards 8-10 brick.
It'd be a very aggressive move but and probably makes u a target for blocking, but u can defense later with knights right?
Loving the content. Btw your mic keeps cutting out.
12:15 really surprising you didn't go for the road to prevent yourself from getting plowed + get to the wheat port + get another settlement spot... how is that not a mistake?
Hey I was interested in the discord links but they've expired. Given that you only just posted the video, I wonder if you could change the duration of the links' validity? Cheers.
Yes will do!
nice one
i thought it was crazy when you popped instead of going for settle on the wheat port
12:15
Why not built a road to the port instead of dev? You have army locked up and then you are more way more flexible with the port in the future.
army's not locked lol,
@@michael-solomon army was locked
dude is obsessed with devs
Why not the 3 10 as second settlement to then go directly to the 8 10 first turn with the free road and then going to the port later. It secures 3 safe spots. It might take longer for you to reach the port tho.
it's way too slow, low production at the start and you have to trade for two sheep
that sheep for 2 ore was crazy bad. That caused the other bad trade that DyL mentioned, the O-O-Wh for wood and sheep.
Dylan you have school tomorrow! Time for bed mate
So the INSANE video titles are finally back, huh?
14:49 probably Yop for 2 wood, road settle. Now we have 3 wheat 3 ore and 1 brick in hand, can use wheat port to pop still. Or even just city to 9 with brick and wheat left in hand. I understand being scared of white taking army, but not all down Ds are knights, us poping doesn't guarantee knights either. With either play adding wheat port, any roll gives you a chance to at least pull for the win next turn, if not city up for guaranteed win and even white has two knights, us wins army long term with strong production and ports. Strictly better scenarios than played
yeah I agree with that play. Dylan needed to play bit slower in that spot and consider all his options cuz he has brick port and yop. like there's a lot of plays he could do.
He also could've yop for two sheep and triple dev. he could then use bricks to secure settle on 9 wheat if necessary.
You could have placed on the 3 10 and instantly plow red to the 8 10.
And after that it would be an easy game.
Downside of your setup is the high variance nature. Unfortunate that your rolls just disappeared. After that big turn where you used the yop, you didn't get any cards for like 20 rolls. You did roll the 10 initially, but it was all mono'd/stolen from you. You had it in the bag otherwise
2:27 when placing the final settle, why not going on 10 3 to get a road then plow up to 8 10 brick
I think it’s just a bit too slow as it takes too long to settle.
@@DyLightedCatan valid
@@DyLightedCatan in theory though even if it is slow doesn’t it block all of reds upper progress and secure the brick port even if it’s a little later? (While also obtaining wood)?
This has to be the most unlucky loss in the history of Catan. You had a winning position and the rolls just dried up. F.
10 3 to 8 10 and then to brick port?
I hate when your rolls dissappear happens so much ti me
Why does he look at his side monitor at 12:00 and immediately knows all cards black has??
Pretty ballsy of Rang to play Catan at church
why not go 10-3 with second settle and a free road to 10-5 ???
less risk (almost none) and you get wood and double brick
Early gang
I think the one who missed his opportunity here was red. first he spared you by settling on 3-10 instead of plowing you by settling on 5-10, and then he bought devs when he should have simply stored ore to build a city and keep building. It was clear that no one was going to contest road to him, while he would have never got army so most of the dev deck was junk in his position. Indeed the road building was terrible for him.. He could have traded his brick for ore with both white and black early on but he never did.
Can't believe red didn't run to the 8 3 as their 3rd settle, 2 numbers as paired roads would've been insane
LOL!
its 2am, your upload schedule be wack af
I was joyriding with one of my friends when I drove over some road debris and obliterated my tire which kinda ruined my night, hope this video makes it better!
Dude those lack of rolls, nothing you can do…
my guy why city on 10 5 just build ur settlement with the year of plenty , u have lost soo many game by focusing on city. the wheat port gave u so many more options.
and u dont look that far ahead.
3 citys im blocking the hell out of u too
the city rounds out his proportions, 10 roll = 4 bricks = 2 cards with port. 5 roll= 2 sheep + 2 ore = dev cards
@@jeffschnettler6772 doesn't matter if it's getting blocked repeatedly.
3 cities and army he's getting blocked to death.
Catan is a social game and pacing is a huge part of the game if you go to far ahead and can't win in the next couple of rounds good players will band to stop the leader.
This game was a perfect example of a player getting too greedy.
He got away with the placement and not getting plowed.
He's focus at that point should have been settlement to have more flexibility with the wheat. Count and see how much extra wheat he had at the end. Wheat port would have definitely won him the game
What's up with the click bait thumbnail?
black cant take your army and win, its only one card per round
Yeah I think you lost that game not taking the wheat port
FIrstg...shit
First!
Love your content but stop lying in your thumb nails dude
There is no 4 8 10 brick on this board
you talk a lot. feels like an auction
White has position on you and had a great chance at OWS and buying devs to nullify your knights/7s. 8 4 10 terrible choice.
Edit: no way white wins, tbc
Edit: well, I didn't think he'd get 6 5 11 2nd, so now I'm not sure
Edit: so, black did win, with the position white could have had.
1st and 2nd positions need to OWS if it's there. Can't guarantee good Wood/Brick setup that early
? do you think white is better or no?
@@monstereugene I did think Dylan's 10 5 pick was sketchy. I didn't know who was better at that point, tbh. He must have had a good idea that he could get the trades to get to the other 10 5.
Dylan tends to do the riskier pick when there is no real reason.
In the end he got 0 rolls for multiple cycles when any roll could have just won him the game.
@@californiaplant-basedeater2761 you just worded that really strangely. I think either could have been effective. He had a strong position as of 9:40 where he is clearly ahead. You could call that bad logic but they blocked the 8 brick constantly and he was still able to take a great position with brick port and ows.
@@monstereugene Dyland said white's pick of 8 4 10 was... understandable or something. I was just saying it was a bad pick, that white needed to go OWS after Dylan to control [Dylan's] own OWS setup with knights.
