Yes -- the only requirement to build a settlement or road is that it be connected to an existing single road. That road doesn't need to be connected to anything else. Share
Can you build settlements in the middle of your opponent's roads?
You can build the settlement in the middle of an opponent's road (as long as your own road connects to it and there is at least one gap before any other existing settlements). Yes. It does affect the longest road: the road stops at the settlement for counting purposes, and starts again at the other side. Yes.
Can you build a road without connecting to your own road?
No. If you build a new road, it must always connect to one of your own roads, settlements, or cities. In the situation depicted above, the blue player would not be connecting his road piece to his own road but to the red player's settlement, which the rule prohibits.
Can you build behind your own road in Minecraft?
If you build a new road, it must always connect to one of your own roads, settlements, or cities. In the situation depicted above, the blue player would not be connecting his road piece to his own road but to the red player's settlement, which the rule prohibits. Therefore, only the red player may continue to build behind the red settlement.
Does the third road into an intersection affect the settlement?
Yes. It does affect the longest road: the road stops at the settlement for counting purposes, and starts again at the other side. Yes. Both players who possess roads into an intersection have the option of building the third road out, regardless of whether a settlement is there or whose it is.
What to do if you can't get any good ore spaces?
If you can’t get any good ore spaces, hoard any ore you can get your grubby fingers on! It’s going to be incredibly valuable to you. Believe it or not, I see more people buying development cards when they lack ore than when they’ve got ore hexes. Again, the urge to buy s omething is the fault.
How to counter scarce resource strategy?
As a counter to the scarce resource strategy, you can also try to determine where there will be an abundance of resources based on which resource has the highest combined probability numbers and put one of your first two settlements on the trading port for that resource. Opponents who aren't paying attention may trade you two sheep for a rock because they have an overage of sheep, forgetting that you are sitting on a sheep port and can now trade for any resource you need in your next turn.
Can the second player continue building their road through a settlement?
No, the second player cannot continue building his or her road through that settlement.
Is it rare to build on the coast?
It’s rare for building on the coast to be a good idea, even with a ship.
What is the overriding rule in a road rehabilitation?
The overriding basic rule in any local road rehabilitation over peat is, in addition to trying to improve the existing circumstances, not to do any work to the existing road/peat balance that will cause further damage. Or, to put it more simply , ‘ to do no more harm ’.
Why is it important to maintain a road in equilibrium?
This state of equilibrium is important for the long term performance of the road. Any disturbance to it, once the equilibrium has been established, will affect the road/peat balance and restart consolidation and settlement again.
How to widen a road on peat?
A common method to widen a road on peat is to excavate out the adjacent peat for the widening and build the new width of road on the exposed firm layer in the recommended fashion, the so-called “legs” solution.
What are the problems with peat in carriageways?
Peat related problems in carriageways can show up in a number of forms; uneven road surfaces, settlements and differential settlements, longitudinal and transverse cracking, edge deterioration, asphalt disintegration and others.
What are the positive features of an existing road over peat?
One of the positive features of an existing road over peat is that the peat below the existing road will normally have been loaded over time and increased in strength such that it can support the weight of the road. This will be the case even with a road that is suffering from settlement.
How does lowering the groundwater table affect the road?
When the groundwater table is lowered below a road on peat the hydrostatic uplift on the road, its “buoyancy”, is reduced and the drained road thereby becomes effectively heavier.
Does overlaying road surface work?
Overlaying road surface defects with new material seldom works on peat subgrades as the additional weight of the new overlay layers will only increase the loading on the peat. This quickly produces further consolidation and settlement, and further defects.
