The biggest strength of Catan is (imho) the player interactivity. It is one of the few games that promotes consistent trading between the players in a friendly way.
...at least until the first meany abuses the bandit (or robber, or whatever it's called in the english version).
Also played another game of Through the Ages last week - pretty much a disaster. We ended up with a Napoleon player with Classical Army who also got served an airforce right at the start of Age III, so it was impossible for the other players to defend against his military (even with house ruling that Airforce+Nappy only triples tactic power). Didn't help that he drew into 3 of the late game wars either - we had 2 players concede just to prevent him from winning the game. Not really fun.
