How much of it is luck depends heavily on where you place the plateau of what "everybody knows".

For example, it is a skill to use the heuristic that one should not place the robber near one's own towns, or that one should try and build additional towns and roads. If that is considered something that not everybody knows, the skill factor likely is over 50%.
