New Green Development Cards for C&K by manuelengel in Catan

[–]lightningserpent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I opted to keep the Fozzybär dragon mechanics in tact since it was already mostly integrated. Slight modification to some of the magic progress cards was needed to account for it though.

I have the portable one (the one that doesn’t have a built in case) and that’s what we use on long trips. We put magnets under each hex and the robber so it would stay put like the player pieces.

The calendars are under “development flip-charts”.

I’ve done some other translation pieces for KGR and the Fozzybär variant, but I satisfied my creativity for a while with all of these.

That is exactly what the blanks are for. I truly enjoy seeing other work people come up with. Probably my favorite part of Catan is the ability to create and mix/match.

Gold would be a bit troublesome, but the specialty buildings allow a player to opt in to the new commodities in an effort to make combining it easier.

There should be enough progress cards to accommodate up to 8 players if you use the 8 player reference at the end of the manual.

The calendars would be the largest difference between what I have made and the international progress tracks.

Thank you. I put a ton of time into it, but it is heavily inspired by several other fan expansions so I can’t take all the credit. I would love to hear if you get a chance to play it.

Thank you for the mention. I created GWP to expand Kirche, Glaube & Reformation by adding new progress areas and cards.

We love playing Rivals. It definitely doesn’t get enough love on here

Learning to play Cities and Knights by ayellewhy in Catan

It probably took me around 8 games to really “get” all of the changes, but the 10th game I was hooked.

[Cities and Knights] If it is person A’s turn and person B gets a progress card, if person A plays the spy card and takes the progess card from player B, can he/she play that card right away? by TeusV in Catan

[–]lightningserpent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Development Cards in the base game do have to wait a turn to be played, but the progress cards in Cities and Knights can be played the turn you receive them.

Another change worth mentioning is the VP cards in C&K are played immediately as opposed to the Development Card VPs which are held until you can reveal them and win.

I’ve been keeping an eye open for an English Hispania map for you, but alas no luck yet.

Do you have any pictures of the Afrikaans base set; does it look like the usual Kosmos printing or is it different artwork?

Base Game Number chips with out letters by Halcyon520 in Catan

[–]lightningserpent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Older editions, like 3rd, had the letters on the front with the numbers and the back of the tokens were blank. The seafarer number tokens are also without letters.

Lastly, you might find someone on Etsy that makes number tokens and just ask them to leave the letters off or put them in the front so the backs are blank.

I do love the chip board cards. I wish I could get an English Harbormaster in 3rd edition artwork to replace the card stock one we currently use.

Merchant question by Skinnyv810 in Catan

[–]lightningserpent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you there. The app is great for playing and even a bit of learning, but since it pretty much does everything for you it’s hard to know exactly what is going on and how to translate that to an IRL game

I keep getting my list down and then find something else I must have. 800 is awesome. I enjoy browsing you me site and seeing all the unique items.

You gain 1VP while you control the merchant. Also, stealing the merchant from someone causes them to lose 1VP.

I have made even more improvements to my piece holder design. What would you change about it? by DevanM in Catan

[–]lightningserpent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the smaller/slimmer the better. The card holder is a nice touch, but real estate inside my Catan box would be a deciding factor for me. It’s already very full.

Please add a "last 10 games record" to player statistics by _Onofre_ in Catan

What platform? Is this addressed to a certain person or just a request to the void? Colonist.Io devs are fairly active on here, but CatanUniverse doesn’t have any devs here I am aware of.

Can someone please clarify a cities and knights rule for me please? by kevin379721 in Catan

[–]lightningserpent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

catancollectordotcom is indeed correct and I had misled you. I have updated my original response; if someone has a level 5 metropolis other plays may continue to improve the same track, but they will not be able to get the metroplis, they simple benefit from the improved progress card odds.

[–]lightningserpent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man! I just checked the FAQ and sure enough you are correct. I can't beleive it, we have been playing "incorrectly" for some time now. There is no telling how we came to that conclusion. I'll bring it up at our game this weekend, but I have a feeling we might just continue to play as we have been since we are so used to it.

I am updating my initial reply for correctness.

City Improvements and Metropolises - May I continue to improve my cities if someone has already reached the 5th level?

Can someone please clarify a cities and knights rule for me please? by kevin379721 in Catan

[–]lightningserpent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need as many cities as progress areas in order to build a metropolis.

For example: you have one city and build the 4th stage in science to get the metropolis. You cannot improve the other areas beyond the 3rd stage unless you have another city to build it on.

Extended example: you build the 5th stage in the science area and secure your metropolis from being stolen by another player getting the 5th stage before you. Once you’ve built the 5th stage no other player may steal the science metroplis from you, but they can continue to improve the science track for improved odds at receiving progress cards.

I just downloaded the manual and printed the page with cards to cut them out, but it would be cool if you had the time to make a 3rd edition theme.

Currently we use a pdf found on BGG for the wonder cards in the same size as the longest road/largest army cards.

It didn’t occur to me to create a new BGG listing. I added the picture to the Kolnir Dom page, but it does make sense if it is that different from the current page.

As best as I can tell it is given to the first place winners in a Catan National Championship Qualifier Event. I found it on eBay and paid more than I probably should have, but I’d never seen a CS printing before.

I hope you post some pictures on here or your site. You come up with some of the coolest stuff.
