2) At the end of the game, any player who had a Knight in the city containing La Porxada may score all unfinished cities containing his or her followers as if they were finished.360 This scoring bonus will only occur if the city containing La Porxada is finished.361
We have played this a couple of times so far. It's not well thought of in our group so it doesn't come out often. Because of the subjective nature of the rule, which you point out, we actually house-ruled that you must have at least one follower in the city at end game. When/if the city is completed during the game it is not scored - but rather remains unscored and "incomplete" - and each player with follower(s) in the city has the option to withdraw any/all of their followers at that time. Any followers left in the city remain there till game end unless removed by other certain game mechanics. A player must have at least one follower in the city by game end in order to enjoy the benefit of his partial cities scoring as completed cities. In this way there is some kind of sacrifice or a risk required in order to enjoy the end-game benefit - you must invest your follower for the duration of the game or get him in the city by game end.It also makes other mechanics like the dragon, tower, plague, count, corn circles, flier, magic gates, etc. very interesting because we consider the city incomplete (and able to be entered) until end game scoring - at which time the incomplete cities are scored with the benefit and then the city is finally scored using normal ownership rules, and only then considered complete for farm scoring.
Carcking, as long is it's okay with you, I will add your house rule to the next version of the CAR.
Okay, I've added the house rule to La Porxada for the next CAR. I think adding the house rule doubled the length of the La Porxada section.
