This occurred to me as a result of all of the barn/halfling discussion going on. It was stated somewhere that a barn must have a stable base. My question, then, is can a barn be placed at the intersection of four tiles if one or more of those tiles is a hill? If all four corners are field it should be allowed, but it wouldn't have a stable base. I have had a look in the CAR and have seen no mention of this. Apologies if it has been asked before.
I expect the hill would not exert its usual effect on the barn, i.e. tie-breaking, even if it could be placed, as the Hills and Sheep rules explicitly state 'when scoring a feature with one or more followers' on a hill, and a barn is not a follower. There will be no breaking of barn-ties. However, my question is just one of can the barn be placed?
Does anyone know the answer to this?
