Startup Modifications

These set of web pages are created by someone who loves the game, but wanted to remove the limitations the "10" victory ports

and take this game to unimaginable heights.

At the time of this writing my single turn record resource harvest is 2400 resources and my record for total victory points in a 6 hour game is 2133 VP.

So if you know anything about Catan at all, your eyebrows should be raised right at this point. As you can gather, "The Old World" expansion rules give tremendous capabilities. Each week new features are added to the game. I make most of my own pieces out of wood but premade objects like camels & elephants are out of custom crafting reach until such time as a CNC machine comes into the picture.

In the near future videos about the making of this expansion set will be published on this site. I will tell you how I made the pieces, where I bought the material and anything else that is related. I hope you enjoy the content provided and may your catan games not be limited to 10 points!

Welcome to the extreme expansion edition for settles of Catan.

Here you find resource costs and descriptions of the types of structures that can be constructed.

For those of you who are not familiar with Settlers of Catan - Catan is a hexagon island that is made up of hexagons. Each inner hexagon represents a land type and produces resources. A forest hex produces logs, a field hex can produce wheat, a pasture hex can produce fish, a quarry can either produce brick or ore depending on the type, a water hex can produce fish or oil.

For initial placements at the beginning of the game, settlers will start by placing two roads and two cities

each for a total of 4 placements (8 pieces).

Each settler will receive the resources of the hex from where their structure is built.

General Changes:

Hex gates / walls have been moved from expansion ideas to the Hex Angles purchase page

Camels can travel from Obelisk to Obelisk without costing wheat / distance.
