Maybe hills will split the farms?

interesting thought...
If a hill splits a farm, than it splits also roads...

I've started a small contest two days ago.

The members were posting very interesting thoughts what could be parts of this new expansion...

If you remember what you have written yesterday, please write it again.
----------------------------------------------------------
Tomorrow morning (German time) we will get some more information about this expansion...

I think it will be a marked expansion in the fields, the hills will be used to divide the fields, something similar to what is found in many fan-exp, the sheep may be similar to the one of Aotc.
A knight is sworn to valour.
His heart knows only virtue.
His blade defends the helpless.
His might upholds the weak.
His word speaks only truth.
His wrath undoes the wicked.

Here is what I wrote the other day:

"For the "Hills" part of the expansion, I am thinking there might be "hill" pieces that you can stack on certain tiles, and the higher you stack them (in the AIR), the bigger the hill, and the more points they are worth.

For the "Sheep" part, it's obvious, sheeples!"

Looking forward to getting more information!

This reminds me of a variant game I tested (and abandoned). The game board is only 2x2 tiles and players build upwards instead of outwards, trying to score as much as possible each time they place a tile.
  General order goes:
1. Place a tile (legally as in original rules) on either an empty slot or on top of another tile.
2. Place a meeple where you can score the most.
2a. This follows the same rules, completed city (max four tiles though very rare), uncompleted fature scores as original uncompleted rules etc.
3. Meeple is then returned after scoring (even uncompleted cities, roads and cloister)

Although it was fun and challenging when the four piles started stacking high I didn't feel like it was going for a completion variant. I can upload pictures if interested that will clarify things a lot more. I'll post it in the Variant section then.

Another hill variant version I was working on is the Planescape. It adds no rules but rather a cosmetic board layout. Plastic plates of 3x3 tilesize where the middle is the hill and the four non-diagonally are sloped. The four diagonally are also sloped in it's own angle forming sort of an octagon shaped hill but it's still a squared edged. LOL. Can't explain this in words, probably should draw this.
  Tried building some with LEGO and it works decent and I think it would look cool when you have a larger board.

9th expansion - Schafe und Huegel (Sheep and Hills)

Here comes the prototype of the cover for the box:

This prototype was created for the exhibition Spielwarenmesse in Nuremberg 2014.
Some change in colour and in the picture are possible when it goes in production.
Hans-im-Glueck-Verlag (HiG) have send it to me.
I am allowed to present this picture for the community.

I like the looks of it! So possibly a Shepherd piece and the hill tiles may stack after all!  :blue-meeple:
PM me for for a list of remaining items from the Carcassonne Shoppe.

And probably there are some wolves on the tiles ... they just hide like the thief on the box of the base-game

Could it be that sheep on the hills are safe from the wolves?

Sorry I don't know verbatim, but the other day I mentioned possibly a Shepherd Meeple and either sheep tiles or getting sheeples to the hills for additional points!

For what it's worth, I'm really digging the motif.  Nice to have a seemingly simple theme. Seems like an organic addition. I'm looking forward to learning about the mechanics

Here is one of my small sketches (for a new fan-made expansion):



This sketch looks almost like the figures in the posting above...
