Daily Verdict

For your two settlements, look at I13 + I30. These settlements produce all five resources, giving you several ways to build. This opening leans toward roads and new settlements. Place I30 second to start with 1 wood, 1 brick, 1 ore.

  • The board produces relatively little brick, sheep; secure a source or a way to trade for it.
  • The board has more wheat production than most other resources; check whether a matching harbor fits your opening.
  • These are starting plans, not promises: dice, the robber and other players can change them.
  • Compare the numbers as long-run averages, not a countdown to your next build.

How to Read This Map

What is an I-spot?

Each Ixx marker is one possible settlement intersection on the board. The labels on the map let you connect the analysis directly to visible board positions.

How are pairs ranked?

Pair scores combine production, diversity, resource coverage, number overlap and port synergy. The goal is to identify strong theoretical two-settlement openings.

About the analysis

This page is based on the generated board configuration, not on played match outcomes. It evaluates the map structurally: numbers, resource balance, port access, intersection strength and opening flexibility.
