To play this mini with standard cloisters is a promblem. It is important to have 3 or 4 road segments on that tile.

I dont get this..

She means that the description of the German Cathedrals as cloisters is inaccurate because the mechanics are different, and the mechanics of the German Cathedrals require 3-4 roads to be included on each tile, which is not the case for regular cloisters. Therefore, you can't use regular cloisters and play with the German Cathedral rules.

Is it possible to score both the bishop and a road?

Yes

Quote from: SRBO on March 22, 2016, 10:57:20 AM

Or does the bishop kick out all followers from the road, just like the barn does?

No

"If a meeple is placed as a thief on a road connected to a cathedral, then the thief earns more points for the road. Alternatively, a meeple can be placed on the cathedral itself as a bishop, and if all of the roads connected to the cathedral have been finished before the end of the game, the bishop scores points for its owner."

Ok we have monks, abbots, bishops, and heretics. I'm looking forward to the future additions of cardinals, nuns, and perhaps rabbi. Not to mention friar.

I'm not sure how close to France the Moors made it before getting kicked out.

I just Googled it and the Moors at one time controlled Carcassonne... I smell an expansion.

I'd say that inside France is pretty close to France

The Battle of Tours

A more battle orientated expansion would definitly earn my interest!

I agree. Heck, I am still hoping for some besiegers.

I made an expansion a few years ago about the Franish reconquest of Gaul from the Moors. Check it out: http://carcassonnecentral.com/forum/index.php?topic=1116.0.

Edit: Apparently I need to re-find the files. They are all linked to my old WorldofCatan site, which doesn't exist anymore. Here's the link to the rules, at least: http://www.whaleyland.com/downloads/gaulrules.pdf

@kettlefish - thanks for sharing what you know and getting bgg fixed. I only hope the English rules are the same

The Battle of Tours

Well technically Carcassonne is inside modern-day France, the city (and Toulouse) were only added to France in 1273, so during most of the time this game takes place, it was independent of France, at least for all practical purposes. People in Carcassonne in the Middle Ages would not have considered themselves French in any way, shape, or form.

Still, the Muslims did make it to Tours, which is much closer to Paris than Carcassonne.

Cool idea. Your expansion would work well with Die Windrosen so players would know which way was South.
