[Q1] The city occupied by Blue is completed by this tile placement in the example below. Does the completion of the city trigger the scoring of the castle occupied by Red?


Example: the city occupied by Blue is completed and doesn't trigger the scoring of the castle occupied by Red.

[A1] This city doesn't trigger the castle scoring. It's outside of the castle fief.

This means that an Exp. 8 castle will only be triggered by a feature overlapping the 6 square spaces in its fief, no matter the geometry of the tiles occupying those spaces. Therefore, a tile occupying multiple spaces may overlap a castle fief, but any feature completed on the tile will not trigger the castle scoring if the feature itself does not overlap the castle fief.
