The key here is think up strategies. If we define this as examining, creating a hypothesis, and testing it as strategizing then yes AI has the ability to strategize. It can examine other users' games, quantifies actions that correlated with victory then test if it gains victory by doing those actions.
Strategy by definition is: a plan of action or policy ...

Bot development is more about 'hacking' than AI in a way that in the very first place you need to read and (over) write game data which you are not supposed to (and thereby potentially violating the Terms and Conditions - so be aware of that). The AI part is fairly simple for most hack/bot applications that I can think of.
Read data
To read game data you ...

From the way you have phrased your question one can derive a couple of strong assumptions which simplify the problem tremendously and make it feasable:
We do not look for an agent being able to play the game but only an evaluation of settlement options (no other agents to be considered)
The evaluation of settlement options is static (i.e. does not change ...

Historically, the non-ML approach would be an expert system. This is typically a rules-based decision system, falling under the umbrella of symbolic AI.
These systems can have strong utility in limited contexts, but are generally "brittle" in that parameters not previously defined or accounted will produce no-compute or weak utility. Because the rules of ...

You can take a look at this paper that solving your problem with a neural network. You can use the pytorch implementation of the satnet layer : satnet layer API. In this supervised setup the layer also learn the boolean constraints of your model. You can find an example of a sodoku solver in the github repo.

Catan is actually a much more complicated game than the simple rules would suggest, and an exact solution is probably beyond the scope of current AI techniques.
Monte Carlo Tree Search or Expectiminimax techniques seem like they could help, but are intended for games of perfect information. Catan is not a game of perfect information (the development cards ...

It is very likely that you want an algorithm like Counterfactual Minimax Regret. This algorithm has several variants, but they differ mostly in their efficiency.
CFR is the algorithm that was used to solve 2-Player Poker, although the solution comes from one of its more advanced versions. The algorithm is highly applicable to other games of incomplete ...
