I would like to make and print a couple custom tiles. Any help?

[Drodo]

I would like to print three CRFF tiles, whose roads end at a house inside of the tile. Similar to the ones in Kornkreise I and II, but that end in a little house (like that tile in Expansion 5) instead of a corn field. Old artwork.



Like that tile but the road ends in a house. One with a road coming from east, another from west and another from south.

There aren't many tiles with roads like that, super useful to invade fields. I would like to add these three to the game but I don't have high resolution images to design them, or know the proper size. Could anyone help me please? Thank you.

Could perhaps experiment and make a few more tiles that have roads that end in a house like that, perhaps CCCR or CCRF ones. Or a RRRR tile where all 4 roads end in houses, field is not split anywhere.

I'll be of no help on design making.

But to make fields easier to invade, just use the bridges, as they have the same effect of making the field pass on each side of the road...

Problem with bridges, or when there's too many tiles like the ones you'd like to print, is the game often ends up with one big field going through the whole game, and this field becomes the only way to win (player who gets it will probably win the game). This breaks the gameplay as everything is about that field and all other features become secondary.

During a megacarcassonne, I once had a field with 80 cities at the end of the game, + pig, + pig herd, + leipzig's tanner quarter. After only 1/4 of the game I knew that if I kept it and continued to make it grow, I'd win the game. Cities, monasteries, roads and anything else didn't matter. I won (with 5 meeples on the field at the end of the game), but that wasn't a fun and strategic game, so now I avoid playing with bridges and too many rfff tiles for that reason.

The field was more than 400 points (cities with pig and pig herd), plus about 50 points for tanner quarter. Hopefully we didn't play with WoF, only 3 farmers on the field, pig and pig herd would have been 9 points per city each time the famine occured

You can find local printing shop with special printer for mobile and tablet cases... these printers works for blank tiles too!

Without trying to sound annoying, could you post or DM the artwork of this tile, and also one with the road coming from the left, and from south, without the black squares on the corners pretty please? That's the three tiles I would like to print. It looks great.

After speaking with Bumsakalaka, I offered to make the tiles while he was focusing on something else



2mm bleed added.

Nicely Done! Merit! -

Amazing. I think I can make the mirror versions of those myself. Do you have a 100% field tile artwork I can take patches of grass from to make more?

+1 merit
the one with the 4 houses looks amazing haha

I have a question. Those tiles have black lines on the corners, and the edges have a thin pixelated line around them. Am I supposed to cut the tile at those lines?

Also how do I print them? How do I get them to be the right size?

[Drodo]

Did the best I could at having the missing tile types.



To print them do I just put them in a Word document? Will they be the right size?
