I have a question about scoring fields that are joined to a barn field. I hope my image is displayed here! This is an image of just one small section of a larger map. The barn-field on the left currently touches 6 completed cities. The open field on the top right has 1 blue farmer and 1 red farmer and touches 4 completed cities (2 are the same as the barn cities). The open field on the bottom right has 1 red farmer and 1 red pig and touched 5 completed cities (1 is the same as a barn city).
OK, if any player draws a 4 field sided Monastery and decides to place it in the open space, it will join all 3 farms! As I understand the rules: the combined fields will now touch (6 + 4 – 2 + 5 – 1 = 12) completed cities. The new combined field will be occupied by 1 blue farmer and 2 red farmers with 1 red pig. Blue will score zero points. Red will score 24 points, 2 times 12 because of the pig, and the blue and red meeples and pig will be returned to their stacks. Pink still own the barn-field which now touches 12 completed cities.
Blue gets zero because the Monastery made everything one large field. Is this correct with current rules?
