Shepherd meeples... Sheeples (hopefully)... And hill tiles. What else?

Very nice box and new followers. have you noticed on the side of the hill to the left, what could be an orchard or vineyard?

Great, new meeples - Ha - now I have to find the new meeples in the custom colors! Just when I got all my custom colors complete! $:-\$

With the Sheep and possibly a Wolf it reminds me of Animal Farm.

I like the shepherd figures. Atm I'm picturing some sort of alternate farmer, possibly some similarity to AotC, with sheep & wolves marked on some field tiles... no idea about the hills or the orchard...

kettlefish · « **Reply #52 on:** January 28, 2014, 12:40:32 AM »

I think, that the hills are a new feature on the new landscape tiles...

kettlefish · « **Reply #53 on:** January 28, 2014, 02:18:43 AM »

I have following thoughts and questions:

Is this figure shepherd a follower?

If yes, does it have some limitations like the wagon or the mayor?

If the shepherd has some limitations:
Perhaps the shepherd can't be placed on a city or on a cloister feature...

I am wondering if you have new features of hills with sheep. You get points if you play your Shepherd Meeple on them. I also wonder if the hills can be placed on field tiles.

I could have sworn I'd already commented on this post but it looks as though my comment was removed? Previously I posted a couple of suggestions along the following lines:

Hills could be used a bit like Tower pieces to extend the range of farms so that they can include cities on other farms. Each player might start with a fixed number of hills that they can use to extend their farms in this way.

With regards to the sheep I thought that perhaps they could be neutral i.e. moved by any player perhaps instead of deploying a follower. I also liked the alternative idea that maybe the positioning of the sheep could lead to some kind of points bonus being generated.

All we can do is prepare ourselves.

Found some decent sheep sounds and will add them to my phone.
Whenever a sheep criteria occurs in this upcoming expansion I simply press a button to play the sheep sound.

from spielbox:

Quote

Diesmal laesst Autor Klaus-Juergen Wrede die Spieler als Schaefer ueber die Huegel vor der mittelalterlichen Stadt ziehen. Hier errichten sie mit neuen Legeplaettchen Huegel und Weinberge und platzieren Schafe und Schaefer punktebringend vor den Burgmauern von Carcassonne. Vorausgesetzt, die Mitspieler haben nichts dagegen. Doch Vorsicht ist allemal geboten! Denn wenn der Wolf kommt, der mit den Schaf-Plaettchen in einem Stoffbeutel schlummert, wird's gefaehrlich. Vor allem fuer die Schafe natuerlich! Wird der Isegrim gezogen, muessen alle Schafe wieder zurueck in ihren "Stoff-Stall". Da damit auch der Schaefer arbeitslos wird, muss auch dieser wieder zu seinem Spieler zurueckkehren. So geht's weiter in die naechste Runde - neues Spiel, neues Glueck. Schafe und Huegel heisst diese Erweiterung, der Wolf hat's leider nicht auf den Titel geschafft.

There are sheep token in an bag together with the wolf - probably some similarity with the animal-expansion.
