It would be nice if Catan automatically ignore trade offers if you don’t have what your opponent want.
Especially in turnbased..
often I come only for my firm based games, and I see a trade request for something I don’t have.

Somewhere else I played Catan online and i saw this. Perfect!

If it did that automatically, that would implicitly reveal to your opponents what you don't have, which is information that they could exploit.

So if players want this behaviour, they have to configure it for themselves via their trading preferences.

What I think would have been nice, though, is if they'd released this expansion after fixing its many reported bugs...

What happens there?

I believe that's where an active knight has the ability to chase away the robber before you roll the dice on your turn (at least that's what Mr Google suggests it means). Don't quote me. Ok, you can quote me, but I might be wrong.

Is there any chance of getting Catan and Cities and Knights separated into different games rather than delivered as an expansion?

The two games play totally different and while I like both, it is going to be a bit cumbersome shifting preferences back and forth to queue up for each one when I'm specifically looking for one or the other.

HYPE FOR CATAN

This would be ideal for all games and their expansions, but, to my knowledge, BGA has never done this. But if you create a suggestion for it, I'd upvote it. :-)

Need a patch crew on Catan. You shouldn't need to be told.

Can confirm an earlier comment - something is broken with dice rolling since this update. A 7 now seems to be rolled automatically whenever someone has more than 7 resources.

Anyone else not getting the BONG sound effect when 7 is rolled on standard CATAN... also the dice roll animation is all wonky now .. oh and the resource counter is updated BEFORE the animation of resource coming into the counter is completed.... this are minor, yet annoying flaws that are new since the update to an otherwise perfect port of the game!! Just talking standard CATAN here... not sure why they started with the most complex of the expansions... love me some SEAFARERS! Do that next!

I really agree they are both good but should have there own Arenas and Elo otherwise you might think they are good in a Cities and Knights game but they have actually never played before and have only played the base game.
