CATAN
Must a new settlement connect to one of your own roads?
The settlements section makes the road connection a requirement, and the posts agree on the exemption for setup.

Yes. Every settlement must connect to at least one of your own roads, in addition to obeying the Distance Rule. Only the two setup settlements are exempt, since each is placed with its road. The settlement does not need to link to another settlement.
