I reckon that you like them ;) I am not so sure ??? Do you have a picture of a tower in a game or on a tile?

Just bought myself some more pimping material from spiel material.  Hope it arrives before Christmas!

The main problem I have with the ferries is that they are so hard to pick up.  I am tempted to use the gold mines gold bars and paint them brown.

The only pimping I have done so far is Catan city and road pieces for tracking largest city and longest road, 10-sided dice for score-keeping, drawstring bags for meeple storage, tuckboxes, and I got the 100-point score track printed on mousepad material. I like the barrel and wheat tokens, but I'm not sold on the red shirt/dress token for cloth.

I really like 10-sided dice over the 6-sided dice because the tenth face is a zero.

I will have to upgrade yo both the 100 point score track and 10 sided dice. Does the 100 point board fit the same board as the 50 ? And do the dice fit the scoreboard squares?

The 100-point score track is exactly double the size of the 50-point score track. The original idea was that you could take two score tracks and attach them together, with the two parts functioning as a hinge. I got the artwork printed on mouse-pad material, so it rolls up and fits perfectly into the row of my plastic organizer nearest the hinge which is not wide enough for tiles.

The dice that I am using are from Chessex. I can't find my calipers right now to get an exact measurement, but they're roughly 1.75 inches or 2 centimeters wide. A bit larger than a standard meeple; you can fit two of them on a scoring track space.

The 100 point score track I've printed and use is the same size as the 50. It's a one-piece board like the 50. Hence, the spaces are smaller - that is why I like the 12mm 6-sided dice. Their scale is much more comfortable on the board. I would use D8s or D10s if I could find them in smaller size. The standard size is too large a scale for the condensed board. It just appears way too crowded and doesn't work if more than a couple players are on the same spot, or even in adjacent spots.

I don't know if is the right place... but I'd like to share with you my last creation!!
The little bags for the followers and a Big one for the tiles for the Ark of Covenant!
I make a little homemamde to use the phantom with AoC (http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=280)
and I use the red box to put in little wooden red discs to cover wolves and sheeps like greens one from Hunters and Gatherers!
