4:30 Drew it's little moments/comments like this one that keep me coming back to your videos. It's clear you are an authentically kind person and that shines through in your calm nature. Keep it up, loving every second of it!!
Your mono strategies are very instructive. Its not just about getting as many cards as you can, its about having the right cards in your hand to match up when you play it.
Excellent content! I really like your style of commentating and explaining. I saw you on DyLighted's video and when your channel came up as suggested I was excited.
I'm new to the catan community, one of Dylighted videos popped up in my recommended a few days ago but your content is actually so good, it's informative, fun, you are very smart and reasonable which makes it so easy to watch, and your voice is so easy to listen to lol. Anyway keep up the work man, love the stuff. Forgot to mention, the double post could not have come at a better time lol, i was bored out of my mind on a bus and got blessed with two Dandy videos, huge Ws
On a board like this with such crazy low ore, I'd be VERY tempted to take the 5 9 10 wood pointing toward the wood port and get my ore that way. It feels like no one will straight up plow you since the 12 is up on the port so at worst you're racing against the 5 6 12 but you have positioning. I know that in general relying on ports for a resource is inefficient but you only have to be more efficient than your opponents and looking at this board I'm expecting people to 3:1 for ore a significant amount of the time. It turns out the 3s were huge so ore wasn't a problem but it feels like on paper there should be almost none. I'd love to get your take since obviously your intuition is better than mine.
You mentioned that black did a mistake for not securing army. His numbers rolled 4 wheat the entire game vs you rolled 13 wheat. What do you think black could do better to have chances this game? (honest question)
The rolls certainly tilted in my favor in the 2nd half, and he also had a moment where he could have hit me twice but didn’t. I think it was critical for black to work with the board a bit better to keep the robber on and feed road to red. Even a world where I could have gone for army if I pulled knights. The board had to collaborate there to kill my road chances.
Let me just say that I love your content. Been watching a lot of Catan lately and your content stands out as quick, high quality and generally very well natured. In this game I think you went a bit hard on black, whom, although was table talking, did not disrespect you, at least not early on. Guy had a few good rolls early on and that's it, you kinda kept hammering him and even judged his playstyle as poor, despite him being jumped on early on and then getting no relevant rolls. I didn't like that very much tbh, as your streams are usually positive and fairly objective in nature. Thanks for the content and keep the good stuff coming!
That’s a fair evaluation. The talk is simply just in game banter and as I mentioned in this video… I’m playing a bit of cat and mouse with him (and the board). My background in playing competitive catan started completely in the discords where voice chat was used. It’s very common to get push back when players who are perceived to be in the lead try to obscure the board’s perception. Also at this point, I was being called out in almost every game in this run simply because of my rank and black was clearly doing this as tactic of distraction. I have no bad feelings towards any players but if he wants to battle in chat, he must be ready to handle the consequences of making that decision. Appreciate the support!
@@dandydrew Hey mate, thanks for taking the time to reply at length. That's very wholesome. Appreciate you doing that and sorry if I came across as overly critical,. Just felt it was a bit different from your usual demeanor, but I understand where you're coming from. Keep up the good stuff & nothing but love from Romania
how have you slowed down the animation speed? I can't change anything in the options, all just greyed out. Is that one of the benefits one gets for being a member or whatever? (paying cash)
@@mikemiller7387 Could it maybe be ad block doing it? CUs I definitely use an adblock, and get those "want to remove ads" on the side of the board when in a game, but it shows no ad (except for the text)
Hey Kozo! Hope you are well. Personally, I thought the 5 brick was a better block since I already have the 8 wheat spot. Plus the threat is that I am rolling brick and potting for roads and settles. The 10 has merit but I believe the 5 is more optimal.

Drew is just that guy
I've learned how to table talk from your videos! It's actually been really helpful to deflect onto others so I can win lol

LOL minutes into your post game analysis and black is still whining about dice and hits you with the "gg I guess" I was dying laughing- well played
Must be difficult to have such an amazing position and it goes from hero to zero in a few minutes - The coping is real. We got a GG though!
Catan is a game of suffering 😂
Bro holy shit you rolled that game, those 5’s were cracked. Keep it up, rank one or bust!
Love the content, thank you
Definitely the 🐐

Red killing the wheat port with the bot placement into a race...

Can confirm its not a benefit of paying. I have the same problem. Would love to get some help.

drew's computer might be lagging
If u use a Mac it's laggy af
I honestly don't understand why you say "I don't understand why he keeps hitting the 10", it's that or the 5, and 5 just rolled.(at 9:47)

48% winrate is hacker territory buddy
Thank you for the compliment
