Stream highlights are great! So are fan game uploads, I would enjoy a variety of rotating content, especially if it means more uploads. Keep up the great work.
Stream highlights are most welcome, a bit more content definitely does not hurt this channel imo. I'd personally also like to see you analyze your lost matches aswell from time to time as you did with the match in the 500$ series.
holding that mono really payed off! i think in your position i might have been impatient and spent it on a city a bit earlier, putting a target on my back and taking away robber attention from black. thinking about it, i really like your line of play and obviously that level of planning ahead is one of the reasons you are such a strong player! i bet your opponents were convinced that mono was a VP. also, as always, the video turned out great. pacing and animations were on point! :)
19:45 DyL had been stressing about Black connecting to get Longest road, but DyL could easily build two roads and block Black from ever connecting. (and also give himself a good chance at longest road later). At the very least force Black to buy two extra roads and reduce his options for a place to build a long road. Maybe DyL doesn't care all that much about Black's road and was just trying to get Orange to spend on roads. If that was the case, it would be nice to give a heads up to the viewers. (DyL doesn't want to race for Longest Road, but blocking Black from connecting isn't a race. Again, not blocking him only makes sense if his real goal is to make orange buy roads, and it would be nice to be let in on that strategy)
I’ve noticed a big part of his strategy is table talk getting other players to do what he wants. It’s usually what sets him above everyone else, but occasionally someone comes along who won’t cooperate and he struggles a bit more
He does tell the chat at 20:46 "I can take it myself, but I don't wanna race. And the reason is because we know for sure that black has the longest road (he says as his mouse circles the top of the board)" Black has strong wood brick in addition to a lot of room at the top of the board.
I MUCH prefer these videos over your edited videos. They give me neonate nastalgia, and it's more instructive to watch through your moves in real time.
Great video! Like you wacky edit drops, makes for some absurdist fun. Just one thing though, when you’re verbally commenting while playing do you sometimes mute yourself? Would be nice to have some kind of icon pop up that lets us know if what you said is for the table or just your external monologue
Yea the little discord icon on the left will either flash green when I talk or have a little DyLighted icon pop up when I talk. I hope that makes sense.
Twisting your chair side to side while using the same hand motions again and again, and taking weird speech gaps while doing those hand motions are your signature moves
I am curious as to why you did not try to trade for a brick at 19:30 in order to build to roads towards the 5-4-10 to keep black from connecting... and at the same time set you up for longest road yourself. In fact, I think I may have even considered porting the sheep for another brick in order to do so. Turn would've been 2 roads and then a dev card - if that dev card was a knight, you just use your monopoly to get road materials and you only need 2 roads to win.
Great thought! Should’ve considered this more. I think this is a perfect line as long as you can get the knight, but not getting the knight can make your life miserable as you now need to save again for another city. With that said I wish I considered this line more during the game, but I ended choosing the line I thought was the safest.
At around 19:40 another interesting play to consider is buying a dev card and then mono brick/ore depending on the dev. The brick mono gives you at least four roads so you can stop black from connecting and get to 8/9 depending on the dev and can City/Knight next turn to win. Mono on ore could give you dev + City. Also gets you to 8/9. Obviously you pull ahead and become the target but nobody else has Knights and it stops anybody else from winning the next round. Any thoughts? Also it gives you outs for other devs as roadbuilding will help keep road and yop means flexible resources to extend road or city. Edit: ah nevermind continued watching.
Honestly, stream highlights would be what I'm most interested in watching. I watch less to get better at Catan and more because I like your entertaining gameplay and personality.
DyLighted, how do you get people to not only agree to your "deals" but hold up their end of the bargain. I have been practicing making deals with people on colonist.io but then if I do ANYTHING to spite them (like cover one of their pieces) they don't hold up their end of the bargain. Also how do you handle if people start checking out and just giving away their whole hand to another player?
What do you think about at the 19:44 area instead of porting the wood for stone, keeping the wood and mono brick, take long road, you can at least buy one dev and more if you have extra brick to port for another wheat, and if the dev is a knight you can win on the next turn (if orange doesn’t take road; they wouldn’t have any brick).
I liked this video a bit more than the post-game analytics, it shows how to deal with time pressure better, instead of discussing one turn for 10 minutes
Awesome, thank you! I really enjoy your videos because you are unparalleled at Catan sir. I would watch your live streams but I don't know where to go for it.
I know you got a nice little deal with the 2 wheat trades upfront but i still dont know why you wouldnt have rather gone for the 2/9/10 anyway. You immediately get the free road to the 2:1 and very rare and valuable (although a constant robber candidate) 6 wheat. You weaken an opponent, and you can still build your next road up and can fork to 2 possible spots (the one being your 2nd settlement). What ultimately led you to go for the other approach?
I think you can do it but it's risky as they can take back road as long as they collude to give longest road to someone else. I'd rather save the mono for a stronger turn.
Pause... I think here you buy a dev card... Your 8-brick is blocked and you have no brick, so a knight would be nice to move it off of there... You would also need two 5s to roll in one orbit to get a city anyways... At this point it's probably a bigger priority to claim the 10-3-11 in the middle and get to the 3-1 port on the 5-ore, rather than upgrading to a city... Without the 3-1 port, the extra production of upgrading the 8-5-10 doesn't matter as much as it would when you have the 3-1 port locked up... Once you have the 10-3-11 and the 3-1 port, you should be able to upgrade to a city rather quickly with double settlements on the 5-ore and 11-wheat, along with the flexibility of the 3-1 port... Holding and trying to build a city would just put you ahead and make yourself a target, without advancing your game all that much, and without having the 3-1 port first it would make it more difficult to deal with being blocked and robbed...
I’m curious…At 19:45, could Dyl have played mono for 4 brick, taken longest road and then tried to buy a knight for largest army? I’m misreading that, right?
Are you willing to go back to Catan Universe? I think the game has gone a long way since you last played it on your channel. Or do the best players only play on Colonists?
At 19:30, why don't you just plow black for longest road? Your only one knight away from largest army with a dev card in hand and it gives you the option of taking longest road for yourself for the win (you have good access to wood and brick). Orange would be forced to block you to prevent the win, you could potentially block/rob him to stop that although black would probably feed him but while they are focused on stopping you from building roads you could be building cities.
I would hold for a city because it's very likely the development card wouldn't get much value since you already have a monopoly card and also a knight wouldn't bring you far because you probably won't get blocked that much because orange is already at 4 and black is doing good too. Also it's not very likely you have to 7 out, because therefore either 3 different numbers from you+ a 7 or a 9 and another of your numbers+a 7 would have to roll.
There was a point where you could have 2 wood, a brick, 3 sheep, 2 wheat and 2 ore or something like that. You could have ported the sheep for a brick to block blacks road, or gotten the city. You didn’t even discuss the possibility of blocking blacks road and then connecting for road yourself and probably also picking up a city on the next turn. Curious as to your thought process there
Seems like a lot of people are asking about this, but basically, by cutting black off I think I start eating a lot more of the robbers and I want my opponents to be constantly fighting for roads since it burns their resources.
I'm a new viewer but when you apologised for being too try hard and not entertaining, I actually found it really entertaining to see your thought process and skill level... I'm getting disguised toast mind vibee
Seems like a lot of people are asking about this, but basically, by cutting black off I think I start eating a lot more of the robbers (because they are less of a threat) and I want my opponents to be constantly fighting for roads since it burns their resources. It's not a bad play going for the cutoff, just slightly riskier.
Around 19:00, you were very concerned with black getting longest road, and you had the resources to cut him off yourself. Is there a reason you needed orange to take longest road? Because it looks like you could've halted black's progression with just two of your own roads.
Love this video! Anything Catan related in the 20-30 minute rage is great for my lunches haha. I tried clicking on your Patreon to become a supporter, but it keeps saying "404 oh no, it looks like you got lost...." is anyone else having this issue? I am living in Cambodia, but I doubt that is the issue here..

He should have played mono then he could get 3 roads plus enough for dev and if road doesn’t get taken he wins next turn by playing knight

Thank you for taking the time to watch! With this I can post a lot more often. I appreciate the continued support.
So glad that you streamed it. It was a lot of fun.
Also I would buy a development card, since you would need either a good trade with red or 2x 5 roll..
Yep! Well done and well said. The stream was definitely the most fun I’ve had in a while.
Comment for the algorithm and also a thank you for introducing me to something i didn't know i needed.

brick mono should have brought you at least 5, so you could have built 3 roads and still buy 2 dev cards
At 19:53, buy dev card, if it is knight, mono for brick and claim longest road, then have largest army on next turn.
I came to comment this and realised I commented the same long time back
Nice work, love the strategy breakdowns.

You have good table talk and verbal abilities. Nice win GG! How was the rest of the tournament? Will you upload the other matches too?
Yes! I’ll be doing this for sure. I’m going to be making a series of videos on the tournament.

What sites do you play catan on? I love the game but can’t find good sites to play it on the pc
Colonist.io!

Dev card.
Black was doing really well. You had a monopoly and you could get the knight which both help get the city within 2 turns
Well said! Thanks for taking the quiz.
First decision (City or Dev Card), I'd take the dev card to lessen my cards for robbing and also because there is the monopoly to fall back on.
Just commenting to help with the algorithm, great content!
Thank you so much alejandro! Seriously!
More videos like this please.
Will do!
More of this more often.
I definitely will do this! Seems like a lot of people like this!
what about a brick mono at 19:31? you could cut black´s connection point, connect your own roads and still get one or maybe even 2 dev cards
I think you can do it but it's risky as they can take back road as long as they collude to give longest road to someone else. I'd rather save the mono for a stronger turn.
I like the stream style better than your voice overs actually. Cool to hear your stream of conscience. Good job and nice win!
When you already watched this on stream!
Thanks for watching me there! I appreciate the support!
Pause... I think here you buy a dev card... Your 8-brick is blocked and you have no brick, so a knight would be nice to move it off of there... You would also need two 5s to roll in one orbit to get a city anyways... At this point it's probably a bigger priority to claim the 10-3-11 in the middle and get to the 3-1 port on the 5-ore, rather than upgrading to a city... Without the 3-1 port, the extra production of upgrading the 8-5-10 doesn't matter as much as it would when you have the 3-1 port locked up... Once you have the 10-3-11 and the 3-1 port, you should be able to upgrade to a city rather quickly with double settlements on the 5-ore and 11-wheat, along with the flexibility of the 3-1 port... Holding and trying to build a city would just put you ahead and make yourself a target, without advancing your game all that much, and without having the 3-1 port first it would make it more difficult to deal with being blocked and robbed...
You could have also cut black yourself form connecting with 2 roads on left at min 20 aprox, eo u think it is a good play?
I know I could've, but wanted my opponents to fight it out for road.
I’m curious…At 19:45, could Dyl have played mono for 4 brick, taken longest road and then tried to buy a knight for largest army? I’m misreading that, right?
Are you willing to go back to Catan Universe? I think the game has gone a long way since you last played it on your channel. Or do the best players only play on Colonists?
I have a contract with Colonist.io so no I will not be going back to Catan Universe
For the survey i would say Knight card, gotta protect the little production you have
Well done! Nicely said.

Hey man, where do you go to play this?
hi, really enjoy your vids!

Thank you! :)
At 19:30, why don't you just plow black for longest road? Your only one knight away from largest army with a dev card in hand and it gives you the option of taking longest road for yourself for the win (you have good access to wood and brick). Orange would be forced to block you to prevent the win, you could potentially block/rob him to stop that although black would probably feed him but while they are focused on stopping you from building roads you could be building cities.
I would hold for a city because it's very likely the development card wouldn't get much value since you already have a monopoly card and also a knight wouldn't bring you far because you probably won't get blocked that much because orange is already at 4 and black is doing good too. Also it's not very likely you have to 7 out, because therefore either 3 different numbers from you+ a 7 or a 9 and another of your numbers+a 7 would have to roll.
Good reasoning! I think as long as you have solid logic behind your decision, you’re fine.
Ah wrong
Can you explain how to play with the voice chat? I play off of an I-Pad Pro (large screen) i really want to play with voice chat
There was a point where you could have 2 wood, a brick, 3 sheep, 2 wheat and 2 ore or something like that. You could have ported the sheep for a brick to block blacks road, or gotten the city. You didn’t even discuss the possibility of blocking blacks road and then connecting for road yourself and probably also picking up a city on the next turn. Curious as to your thought process there
