Facts:
- Crashes a lot, the current work-around is to save often, the errors that pop up are not FATAL ERRORs, rather its more of an unhandled exception for some idleCursorPosition or something
- Maps are set in stone, they cannot be changed, even though the original board game has randomised maps with randomised resources, e.g. you coud have abundant ore but rare wool
- Online Scenarios means "Download scenarios that people have made", it does not mean "Online Multiplayer"
- The main website is German
- The Catan editor is installed separately from the main program

Opinion:
- Dice rolls seem rigged, in one game the AI rolled six 12s with just 2 die, not sure how you manage that
- Character audio is slow as heck, either you miss the entire conversation or you waste 3 minutes trying to listen to pointless banter

Overall the game represents the board game mechanics quite well, sadly everything else is shockingly bad.
