In the Visual Timelines, the idea is to list items in chronological order within each year (left to right and top to bottom). We had to combine info from different sources so if you detect any discrepancies, please let us know and we will reorder the items accordingly. Even the CAR and BGG may contain some inaccuracies, as you already spotted.

Thanks for your help.

@wallaceprime Nice interview!

Are you secretly working on a waterproof Carcassonne to play in the beach, in the swimming pool or even underwater?

It was part of the plan...

I was thinking about including one tile sample per edition and spin-off as a visual cue. Let's see how it looks.

Yes, it would be a small version of a tile in full color. Let's see if it works.

News and Events / Re: Castles in Germany and The Festival in C3

« on: May 13, 2022, 10:12:40 AM »

From a previous post...

I just replied I wanted to verify if they had finally added those key clarifications affecting the scoring of roads and monasteries involving German castles...

Any bets?

...

Well, I had new exchanges with Cundco about this.... After a few iterations trying to explain to me the German castle 3-point bonus hadn't changed, this was my reply:

The German castle bonus is clear. The direct issues when playing with the base game are the following, related to the tile count used when scoring roads and monasteries. Check these two cases:

* Roads looping back to a German castle: each half of the German castle is counted as a separate tile for a road connecting them. See final clarification here:

https://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=5021.msg75693#msg75693

* A monastery adjacent to a German castle: each half of the German castle is counted as a separate tile when scoring an adjacent monastery (as I mentioned in my previous email, this was also explained in the 20th Anniversary River). See final clarification here:

https://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=5021.msg74231#msg74231

These issues plus all the others found in the same thread on Carcassonne Central were discussed with Johannes Natterer between February and March 2021.

At least, these two clarifications seemed very important as to be included in the updated rules for C3.

As you can see in the thread referenced above, double-sized tiles and triangular tiles pose a lot of questions to players of the game. When combined with watchtowers, for example, there are plenty of open issues not addressed yet.

Cundco's reply:

thanks for explanation, now I understand.

At the moment I can't tell you something about that, but we will talk about that.

...

To be continued?

Yep. Bullets could go away....

Regarding a separate column with the expansions symbols, it could be a valid option. They are fake bullets I copied over just to see the effect.

We were assigning default symbols to expansions that have one... For example: the base game uses the Carcasssonne "C". There are some expansions such as The river or The Abbot that use a symbol that is not represented on its tiles, if any. So there are interesting cases that we use as a reference. Some other expansions, such as The School or The Land Surveyours to name a couple, may use a tile image or something to represent them. Let's see what we come up with.

Currently we are testing some new templates created by @Bumsakalaka that can generate logos + name and links to the correct page depending on the version. This would mean that all the cross references between expansions would be translated only once and be updated everywhere. That's why you see some red test untill the whole thing is finished.

C3 starts with Peasant Revolts... But there is not so much contents to make a full split... It would be odd for the visitor to the home page. (C3 is just a step forward from what you could find in the CAR v7.4 about C2)

@Bumsakalaka and I are testing some new concepts on this WIP version of the home page, where there is only one list and you can see which rules stride across editions for the time being.
