Following the basic rules of the game, a settlement is built using 1 Lumber , 1 Brick, 1 Wool, and 1 Grain, and can only be placed on an unoccupied intersection that is at least two intersections away from another settlement, city, or metropolis. This restriction is known as the distance rule.

The starting player places a settlement on an open intersection of his choice. He places a road adjacent to this settlement. The other players then follow clockwise. Everyone places 1 settlement and 1 adjoining road.

The optimal placement would put your first settlement on an intersection with Wood, Brick and Grain and your second settlement on an intersection with Wood, Brick and Sheep. High probabilities on all of these would be ideal, but Brick and Wood are the most important.

From the official game rules, under "Set-Up Phase": The starting player places a settlement on an unoccupied intersection of their choice, then places a road adjacent to this settlement. The other players then follow clockwise. Everyone places 1 settlement and 1 adjoining road.
