Unique Spotlight – Friends of Catan

You wouldn’t steal my Sheep…Ore Wood you?

Doggonefun: Hey EmeraldAngel, I have another unique to design, would you like to share it with me?

EmeraldAngel: Doggonefun! I would be honored! Thank you! What did you have in mind for the design?

DGF: Let’s tell how we met!

EA: Over Catan! Over 10 years ago! This would be my first big Unique, but third counting the Mass Produced Uniques, like Potatoes and Walla-Boos. How many uniques do you have again?

DGF: Oh I lost count!! What is your favorite memory from Catan Online World?

EA: I loved meeting new friends from all over the globe! I was able to learn so much about other people and cultures. What about you?

DGF: Same as you. Friends around the world. So many variations of games to play. Oh and I got to play a couple times with Klaus Teuber! He was so nice!

EA: That’s great! I would like missing set TD’s for a sub-200 even number, or possibly a missing personal unique. What about you?

DGF: At this point, I’d ask players to send me a pm for the odd numbers.

EA: I wonder if there is anyone in Wallabee that played in C.O.W.

DGF: I don’t know, but it would be great to get in touch with them again! Oh how I miss C.O.W. Lucky us that we have such talent with Andy Cameron that we can have this special item.

EA: I totally agree! Andy is an amazing talent! Let’s go play Catan so I can steal “your” sheep port!

DGF: LOL! And that 2 looks like a perfect spot for your settlement!

Unique Spotlight – The Hamburger

Hamburg as the second largest city in Germany has more to offer than the Reeperbahn. Maybe. Who knows 😉

Owner: winkide

How To Get: Trade for missing Uniques and other improvements. Let’s talk!

Meaning: My 4th German City Unique is a tribute to the new Hamburg, which has developed in recent years. More bridges than Venice, more culture than Milano and more girls than Rome & Naples, Hamburg is more Italian than Italy. I worked there for a few month and I love to look back to this time.

Which number Unique is this for you? This is my 4th Unique and there are plans to get some more.

Closing Thoughts: Thanks to WB and all players for this great community and the chances to interact. You are great!

January Build-A-Unique

Hello Collectors!

Happy 2019 to all of you! A new year brings new opportunities, which includes the subject matter of this post. 2018 had a completely full Unique Commission queue, so the ability for newer players to get their hands on their own Unique Items was not possible. We tested the idea of a “Create-Your-Own” personalized Unique with WallaBoo! in October, followed by Señior(ita) Sweet Potato in November, to see if we could increase the availability of Uniques, lower the price down, and still make an interesting product. To our delight, you have responded with great feedback to these special opportunities. As we continue to make custom Uniques for players in 2019, you can count on seeing six Build-A-Uniques releasing throughout the year. The first opportunity of 2019 is January’s Sand-Mud-Snow People.

Date + Time

Jan. 15, 2019, at 1 p.m. CST (UTC -6) to Jan. 31, 2019, at 1:00 p.m. CST (UTC -6)

Details

BAU Item: Sand-Mud-Snow People
Available from the online store for $50
No limit per user
New submission tool to create live previews of your BAU (courtesy of Mizak and ItemBrowser)

Unique Spotlight – Cali49

Our time here is brief, let’s go see what we can find!

Owner: Cali49

How To Get: Cali49 is out hiking. If you find him, he’ll gift you this Unique.

Meaning: I love hiking, camping, exploring the wild places, taking road trips and getting lost while doing so. Cali49 was created to share those feelings with other players, the joy of discovering something new, the sense of wonder out there in the wilderness, the melancholy feel of an abandoned town. Just a little glimpse at what makes me happy.

Which number Unique is this for you? This is my fourteenth Unique.

Closing Thoughts: My thanks to Andy Cameron for creating this amazing Unique, from a vague idea of mine, into one of my favorite cards in the game!

Closing Thoughts: Even though Andy says he doesn’t like to draw horses he did an awesome job😊

Commission Information

Commissions Closed

Unique Commissions are currently closed. For informational purposes, we have left the normal information below. We will update this post when commissions reopen.

Unique Commission Requests

Andy is able to complete a varying amount of Unique commissions per month, depending on the tier of the Unique (explanation to follow). All Unique commissions will be handled one-at-a-time. Hangups in moving forward with your unique (i.e. lack of details, missing payment, etc.) may lead to other Uniques being worked on before yours.

Read and understand Andy’s Artwork Guidelines and Brief Questions.
Have all information for your Unique, including any and all details, ready to go.
Use the Commission Unique button below.

Communication, Payment, and Proofs

After the details of your Unique have been received, the Unique will be added to a running list. You will receive an email response from staff when we are ready to begin working on your Unique, or if any details need to be clarified/worked out before given to Andy. After all details are in order, the expected price tier of your Unique will be quoted and payment due-date will be given (Payment is due before Andy begins working on your Unique). Two proof revisions are allowed. In order to limit back-and-forth communication, and keep Andy’s workload manageable, please make sure that any and all details that need to be changed are mentioned after the first proof is received.

Receiving Your Unique!

After the Unique has been completed, you will have access to it through the website. After logging in, navigate to your profile. On your profile’s main page, there is an option to Gift Unique. Please note that the Unique will gift out in numerical order, beginning with #1. You will not be able to skip ahead numbers, so if you’re looking to gift a specific number to someone, all previous numbers must be gifted first.

Unique Payment Tiers

Due to the varying levels of complexity between Uniques, pricing will adhere to the following:

Additional Information

Animation is not available for new items.
If you are interested in making your Unique available through Uncanny Uniques/foraging, blocked from the market, mix with your other Uniques, etc. please have that information available in your request (There is no premium for these features).
We do charge extra for variants, which is on a case-by-case basis.
Tier 3 pricing is a base cost. Depending on how much detail is required, Andy may add premiums.
Uniques that are on accounts that are closed get returned to you, although there can sometimes be a delay in these being returned.
WallaBee characters are not allowed in Player Uniques. However, if your design involves the reference to a character, we can work with you through the details.

We look forward to allowing all players the ability to commission their own Unique in a timely manner. If you have previously emailed or messaged staff about Uniques, please take a moment to resubmit the information as outlined above, as all requests need to go through the Commission Unique button below. Have fun!

How To Get: It is available for 1997’s and missing TD’s where the 1997 is mixed or recycled to the great unknown.

Unique Spotlight – Dark Side On The Wall

Remember: All in all you’re just another brick in the wall. And there is no dark side on the moon really. Matter of fact it’s all dark.

Owner: Wyando

How To Get: Uncanny Uniques Store

Meaning: It mostly acted as a “thank you” unique for the help when I started this incredible game almost 3 years ago. But even after all those years, this unique still seems to be full of surprises…

Which number Unique is this for you? This is my first Unique.

Closing Thoughts: I “just” wanted my first unique to have a personal touch (“Wy”) and combined it with two of my favourite albums “The Wall” and “Dark Side on the Moon”. Listen to these, best with headphones, while figuring out how to build a wall…
