This is a very good question!
For the sake of consistency, "the most followers" valid for the base game is treated as the usual extended majority evaluation when involving other expansions that alter the basic definition of majority. This said: * The large meeple has 2 majority votes (counts as two meeples) * The mayor has as many majority votes as the number of coats of arms in its feature (city or castle) * Hills are considered as usual
So, in this case, majority is computed as usual, considering the majority votes each meeple has in its current location. For the time being, the only special case would be acrobats in a pyramid, where each meeple has 1 majority vote although the acrobat space ignores majority.
Hope this helps.
Hi Meepledrone, Is this based on an official clarification? Kind regards, Vital

All animals on the nine tiles are counted, regardless of any other features on the tiles.

Very happy to read that I am one of the lucky few who has won these unique double-sided tiles. I think it is a wonderful and very generous initiative from your side. I am very grateful and happy! +1 merit

I think it should be option c. Ghosts are penalizing scoring meeples, independent of the feature scoring. If two meeples are in the same feature and one of them is ghosted, the ghost penalty only affects the ghosted player. So, a ghost penalty does not take into account which feature is scored, it just penalizes the scoring meeple it is frightening. So, my vote is for option c, both for abbot and acrobat scoring.

If you take back the Abbot from a special monastry before the end of the game, even if your Abbot is placed as a prior, you would only score 1 point for the special monastery tile and 1 point for any of the eight surrounding tiles. If you take back an Abbot, you simply score the meeple, not the feature it is placed on.
Nevertheless, I agree with you that some features are extremely overpowered in long games with loads of tiles.

In the Gifts the word "afterwards" is misspelled (afterwords instead of afterwards) in the section handling the interaction of the 'Change Position card' with 'Exp. 2 - Traders & Builders'.

So the dragon is capable to enter both tiles located partly below the castle token with the fairy?
That's how I understand it: you can assign the fairy to a meeple placed in a castle (lord). If the fairy is assigned to a knight that turns into a lord, then the fairy will stay assigned to that meeple, that is, it moves from the city to the castle. If the fairy is assigned to a lord, the fairy does not protect any tiles. The lord cannot be eaten by the dragon, but the dragon can step on the 2 tiles with the small city segments underneath the castle, as the fairy does not protect them.
Sounds indeed logical and reasonable.

Case #1: The fairy is assigned to a meeple placed on a 1-tile city. What happens to the fairy if that 1-tile city turns into a castle?
Not a clarification yet for this case on any of the sources I checked back in the day. My current understanding is that the fairy should move to the castle along with the meeple. Rmoving the fairy seems too drastci and leaving it behind on the tile sounds very odd.
Is there already a final conclusion regarding this case? If the fairy joins the meeple to the castle, which tiles if any are protected against the dragon? Both, the one the fairy was standing on originally or none (as the fairy is in the castle and not on the tile anymore)?
By me? None. As you told, tile is not on tile, it's on castle token, which is not part of tile, and this is reason, why meeple on castle is protected by Castle against Dragon at all.

In former years, there were regularly participants from other countries, obviously especially from the Netherlands. If you speak English, French or even German, it shouldn't be a problem to communicate with most of the participants.
