Well, The sentence is at the end of a paragraph starting with the conditions to move a meeple to Carcassonne:German wording:QuoteJedes Mal, wenn du bei 3. Eine Wertung auslösen selbst eine Wertung auslöst, bei der mindestens ein Mitspieler Punkte erhält, du selbst jedoch keine, darfst du am Zugende 1 Meeple aus deinem Vorrat auf ein Stadtviertel deiner Wahl stellen. Zusätzlich darfst du den Grafen in ein Stadtviertel deiner Wahl stellen.English translation:QuoteEach time you trigger a score in 3. Score a feature where at least one player scores points but you do not, you may place 1 meeple from your supply in a city quarter of your choice at the end of your turn. In addition, you may place the count in a city quarter of your choice.So, the actions are to be linked, right?Note: This is a deja vu of the Markets of Leipzig re: the conditions to get the Wainwright quarter bonus when sending a meeple to Leipzig (only from a road with more than one meeple)

Score a feature where at least one player scores points but you do not". But the two following actions (place a meeple and move the count) are two separate phrases, with "zuzatzlich" inbetween. I personnally do not understand this phrase as beeing dependent to each other, but only dependent to the scoring condition. But the wording is probably not clear enough to be sure of anything, so... Ok, let's say it's dependent, we have to take an option By the way, speaking some German I do not use Google translate. But when we give full attention to a specific word, we should translate the word only in Google to get its different meanings. Zusätzlich doesn't mean "in addition" (that's "und dazu"). Zusätzlich means moreover, furthermore, additionally, supplementary...
Der GrafImmer wenn ein Spieler einen Gefolgsmann in die Stadt Carcassonnestellt, darf er auch den Grafen in ein beliebiges der vier Stadtviertel stellen.
In this case, the "if you did the placement" clause was added to the Order of Play after a discussion with Carcassonne93, who felt that use of "then" wasn't stressing enough the requirement whereby the Count can only be moved if you place a meeple in Carcassonne. So, the same wording change could be applied to the C2 Exp. 6 rules to remove the ambiguous interpretation.
[...]B) Moving the CountRegarding the Count, you can only move the Count if you move a meeple to Carcassonne. The rules use "then" to indicate this dependency. Quote[...] you may place a meeple in one of the four city districts (even if the Count is in that district). Then, you may move the Count to a district of your choice within the city of Carcassonne.The Order of Play also uses "then" in its wording for the same reason. The C1 rules use a different wording but confirm the same restriction:QuoteWhen a player deploys a follower to Carcassonne, he or she may also move the Count to one of the City quarters.
[...] you may place a meeple in one of the four city districts (even if the Count is in that district). Then, you may move the Count to a district of your choice within the city of Carcassonne.
When a player deploys a follower to Carcassonne, he or she may also move the Count to one of the City quarters.
I do not understand this phrase as a dependency.If there was a dependency, it would be stipulated by "if you did the placement" (and that's what's written in the order of play ("if you did the placement")).The French and German rules are even more clear, as they use furthermore, or moreover ("de plus" in French rules, "Zusätzlich" in German rules) instead of then.So I do not see a dependency here. English rules may not be clear enough, but German rules are clear:If you fulfill the conditions above, you may place a meeple in the city of Carcassonne (may = you do it or not). Furthermore / moreover, you may move the count.There's no dependency ?

Hi again, I have some news My interpretation was correct I asked HiG about this (can we move the count even if we choose not to place a meeple in the city of Carcassonne), and the answer I got from Andreas Kramer is Yes Screenshots of the e-mails below. I can forward the e-mail if necessary.This should be included as a note in exp 6 rules, and as a possibility in the order of play: If the conditions are met, we may:Place a meeple in the city of Carcassonne onlyMove the count onlyPlace a meeple in the city of Carcassonne and then move the count
I think Andreas Kramer should firstly reread the rules again...This can't be right... That would change the game play with the Count completely. The challenge and fun while playing with the Count is that you have to "sacrifice" a meeple (and a few points) to be able to deblock the meeple(s) you want to use. With this clarification, you would only have to sacrifice a few points...
If [...] you may place a meeple in one of the four city districts (even if the Count is in that district). Then, you may move the Count to a district of your choice within the city of Carcassonne.
Even the aristocracy are subject to certain rules, and cannot simply do whatever they may want. The following variants take this into account and constrain the freedom of the Count. Using these variants will provide even more tactical possibilities. In both variants, the Count may no longer be freely moved, but rather:* whenever a new meeple is deployed to the city of Carcassonne, the Count is moved clockwise to the next city district, or* the Count is moved to whichever city district the new meeple is deployed to.
I agree that maybe Andres does not know this expansion in detail.I just remembered the official variants for the movement of the Count that HiG released for C1:https://wikicarpedia.com/index.php/Count,_King_and_Robber#Official_variants_.5B11.5DPlease check the wording of the variants. I underlined the interesting parts (Note: by freely moving the Count, they are referring to the movement of the Count to any district of choice of the active player):QuoteEven the aristocracy are subject to certain rules, and cannot simply do whatever they may want.

English rules may not be clear enough by using "then", but German rules are clear (French too, maybe the reason why I didn't even think there could be a dependency before).
