New Feature

Seafarers Board Generator

Generate balanced island layouts for Seafarers of CATAN with expansion-aware placement for sea hexes, gold terrain, and cross-island resource spread.

Technical details

Seafarers scoring extends the base model with island accessibility, gold scarcity index, and cross-island resource parity. Wood and wool weights are increased to reflect ship-building demand.

Improvement

Strategy Analysis Panel Redesign

Resource power now uses proportional bars with Scarce, Normal, and Abundant labels. Win-condition recommendations include a one-line reasoning summary.

Content

Strategy Guide Published

Published a complete CATAN strategy guide covering probability, board balance, opening-position scoring, win-condition selection, and harbor play.

New Feature

Share URL Permanent Board Links

Each generated board now has a unique share URL encoding full board state in the hash so links can be opened later without server-side storage.

Bug Fix

Balance Score Calculation Fix

Fixed an edge case where displayed score could exceed 100 on rare harbor configurations. Generation quality was unaffected; only display output was corrected.

Best Starting Positions Overlay
