Hi @dunsany
I have one question from 2nd phase of turn - Deploy a follower:

This deployment process is repeated until none of the tiles surrounding the tile with the newest black death token contains a
follower.

What does it mean?
1. It means, that each meeple on surrounding tiles are replaced step-by-step with black death token, until there is black death tokens?
2. Or it means, that next turn, you can do the same?
I think 1st option is correct.

If I'm right, what happend when there no black deatch token left? Imagine we are playing mega carcassonne and each player has up to 17 meeples (and we spoke only on official expansions)
Check Fan Expansion section on WikiCarpedia and also some Slovak sci-fi projects in English https://www.scifi.sk/en/

Hi Bumsakalaka

It means do the same again, ie,

1. Place the black death tile and replace 1 meeple in the 8 surrounding tiles with a black death token

2. Immediately (ie on the same turn) replace 1 another meeple (if there is one) on the 8 tiles surrounding this first black death token with a second black death token

3. Immediately replace 1 meeple (if there is one) on the 8 tiles surrounding the second black death token with a third black death token

4. And so on ...

You can usually remove 3 or 4 meeples in the turn like this. The highest number I have removed on a single turn is 8.

Regards

Ok. So every meeple on surrounding will be removed with replacement by token.

Imagine situation, there are 4 meeples on surrouding tiles but only 3 tokens left.


What will be solution of this?

Hi Bumsakalaka,

The rules state each time a black death tile or a black death token is placed, only one follower on the surrounding eight tiles is removed and replaced. It's written this way so you can keep your own followers in play.
So each time you go round the loop you only remove one follower. As the centre tile shifts by one space each time you do this, if you are skillful about selecting which followers to replace, you can remove your opponents followers while leaving your own (similar to the Princess and the Dragon).
