Google translate produces a lovely phrase in the english translation

we have revised the rule to allow everyone a liquid entry

that should be an easy start, literally a "fluent entry" like in the phrase "in fluent english"

I was thinking it that the fluid might refer to Beer

I don't think they are trying to deliberately upset anyone but it kind of looks like they are “running on empty”

It doesn't seem like they are deliberately trying not to either. 

I really hope the Abott is not The Missionary.

Am I the only one really NOT liking this idea of a total new set of carc?

The graphics are so different and ugly in my opinion.. i wont buy or mix them with my carccollection

Based on the couple of pictures I've seen (not up close), I completely agree with you. I find the graphics of the original so beautiful which is a huge part of the attraction of the game for me. The simplicity and rustic quality of the original seems completely gone in this new version. But I'd like to see more pictures.

Thanks,

Im also terrified of the idea new expansions only come out in new graphics..

In response to a question from Dan on Facebook, Z-Man says:

The artwork has simply been updated and modernized.

Yes it has been modernised, but I fail to see the purpose or benefit in this since this is a medieval landscape. The less 'modern', the better.

I've lapped up almost everything that is Carcassonne related, this has no place in my collection though!

I saw this too. No idea what it means! Maybe it means you can place followers on the river? 

That would be an awesome expansion even if this isn't it! Have a way for followers to "swim" down the River and claim a feature  on an empty river tile

Im still very very curious and hope they keep it like the winter edition..

[danisthirty]

If you pushed me I'd have to say I think I prefer the artwork on the Winter edition over normal Carcassonne. However, it might just be that this looks nicer (in my opinion) because of the winter colour scheme so I don't know what I'll think of this new release.

The reaction to this news on Facebook hasn't been great!
