I know I said I didn't want to buy it but in the end I did it ... and last night I tried it!
So... about the rule of playing with 2 more followers, I think it's right because there is a strong possibility to place followers on cities or streets that, if stretched near the edges, remain incomplete.
Regarding the starting points, it is not a bad idea to have 2 or 3 of them ... As further starting tiles I used the 2 SpielDoch (finally an interesting use of the 2 tiles!).
I played with the basic game, the festival, the 5 Spiel promo tiles, the flying machines and the new German castles (104 tiles). I chose these expansions following the suggestions of the rules of not using rules and followers of expansions. In fact the boundary of the map limits the placement of tiles and it may happen that you have to discard tiles that cannot be placed more often, especially towards the end of the game (and it can hppen more if you add other tiles to the game).
The rush to have the cities that give the additional bonuses was interesting.
The map is really well printed.
Once the corners are fixed with weights it remains well spread on the table without undulations.
In short ... 8 € well spent!
Sure, they could make France! but I hope that they actually manage to sell enough to launch other maps (even if I already imagine they will never do Italy
).
