The German Monasteries with an abbot don't score during the game, but score at the end of the game, like the farms. With this in mind, we have used the same rules for the German Monasteries with an abbot as with the farms when we play with the Flyer and the Magic Portals.

With the Flyer a follower can fly to an unfinished structure even if it’s already occupied. The Flyer can’t fly to a field, even if there is not a farmer on the field. We practice that the flyer can’t fly to a German Monastery and occupy it as an abbot, a flyer can only occupy it as a monk.

With the Magic Portal a follower can portal to an unfinished structure that is not already occupied. The original rules for the Magic Portal are not so very informative. But in the footnote 147 in CAR 7.0 it is stated that: “A follower cannot be deployed to the City of Carcassonne or to the Wheel of Fortune via a magic portal. The magic portal only allows followers to be deployed to tiles that can be legally occupied according to the usual rules, as if the player had just placed the tile in question. The City of Carcassonne and the Wheel of Fortune are occupied according to different rules.” As I understand this, a follower can (in addition to city/road/monastery/shrine) portal to an unoccupied field and occupy it as a farmer or to an unoccupied German Monastery and occupy it as an abbot (or a monk if he choose to).

A German Monastery, who has been scored with a monk during the game, can be reoccupied with an abbot if you use the Magic Portal, but not with the Flyer.

What do you think? Is this correct?
