Quote from: Meepledrone on March 28, 2021, 02:09:51 AMIf you check this clarification (original text in German, see translation below), it indicates that meeples placed as abbots on a German monastery are still considered monks. This would also apply to other special monasteries such as Dutch & Belgian monasteries or Japanese buildings. http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=781.msg9971#msg9971Here you are the translation into English:QuoteSince the rule for the flier is older, as is known, we did not know that one day a follower could also be placed as an abbot on the monastery (German monastery). So even if in the rule would have said "monk", this would not exclude the "abbot" on the German monastery. Thus, the flier can choose to land as Monk or Abbot on the German Monastery."Conclusion: if the rule of an older extension speaks only of monk, that does not exclude the abbot on the German monastery.Yeah... That's why I said the debate about this may still be open...This interpretation seems really unlogical to me !Acrobats didn't exist when WoF was released, so why not count acrobats too? Monk is a role, abbot on a monastery is another. Rule is so simple, 2 points per monk, no ambiguity, why then separate role and position to make a rule strange, difficult to understand...etc?Heretic was the only possible role other than monk on a feature with cloister mechanic back then. So, by the same interpretation you mentioned, we may conclude:If the rule of an older expansion speaks only of heretic, that does not exclude the abbot on the German monastery (so if heretic role isnn't counted, abbot role neither)
