You allowed that dominant setup to happen. I don't understand why you went for 4911. The weak ore was not worth it. If you went with 6411, it would have locked out the 6 wheat and secured the wood port.
Knowing what happened afterwards with the rest of the placements, I’d agree. My thought at the time was that if I took the 6/4/11, the 5/10 + wheat port would get taken and if I didn’t, I would be able to expand in that direction. Clearly it didn’t work out that way in this case!
@@jakeeaux thanks for responding to my comment, and I apologize for being too abrupt previously. I understand that recording and editing a YT video takes a lot of effort, and I didn't acknowledge any of it. Normally I would accompany my criticism with some kind of praise about the gameplay etc, but honestly I couldn't finish watching because the continuity of the game was broken so frequently that the experience was just bad. Personally I prefer watching games with no interruption at all. I find every type of embedded post-game commentary distracting, even in text format. Nevertheless I've seen people in other channels, I think in Hugh's channel specifically, appreciate this style of video, so take my feedback with a grain of salt. It's just my two cents, I am not representing the Catan community in any way.
Nothing to apologize for! I appreciate the feedback. I have found that as a viewer, I appreciate when other channels add analysis and acknowledge potential mistakes/areas for improvement in gameplay. This game was longer than average and I also missed a number of predictions of what would happen or opportunities to make better decisions, so I wanted to add some of that analysis, especially with a longer video than I normally post. The game in my next video moved faster and I think my live commentary was sharper, so I didn’t include as much postgame commentary. I’ll continue listening to feedback and hopefully find the right balance that my viewers like the most!

Embedding post-game commentary is too distracting for my taste.
I appreciate the feedback! I’ll have less of it in my next video I’m publishing tomorrow
