In Settlers of Catan, Cities and Knights, how are knights initially moved onto the board???

Question

Nevermind, got it! Thanks though. If you've got any tips for Cities and Knights, those would be appreciated.......

Answer 1

When you pay for the night, you can place them on any unoccupied spot that connects to one of your roads.

As for strategy and tips:

1. Try to make sure you can get knights early. Especially when playing with 4-6 players. Getting ahead on knights will prevent you from losing a city in the early game to barbarian raiders and may even give you initial VPs as a protector of Catan.

2. After knights, make sure you can get commodities. Those cards can easily swing the game in your favor and its hard when everyon gets a card form building their cities except you.

3. Never, ever build city walls when playing a 5-6 player game. Its a waste of resources since you have a special build phase between players turns so you should be able to keep your hand size under control.
3A. The exception is if your a monopolist and can only reliably gain 1-2 types of resources. If you get those resources in large numbers, you won't be able to trade tehm in during special build phase and therefore will need to keep a large hand size until its your turn so you can use your harbors and/or merchants.

Answer 2

If you buy the 4th edition expansion you get both of those plus the river and seafarers.
