Q: What is the follower included with The Messages depicting? Is it a female meeple?
I can answer at this one since it's in the the official German rules from Hans Im Gleuk:
"... 8 messages, 6 female followers." when referring at what's in the box.

Interesting. The RGG instructions don't mention that: they just say "6 followers". My wife will be disappointed that meeples are once again being genderized.

Q: When playing with The Messages and The Robber, can a player's Robber follow either Messenger?

Answer:
The Robber can rob points from both scoring figures - from the follower and from the Messenger (woman follower). If there are more than one scoring figure at the same space as the Robber and multible scoring take place - the Robber can only rob from one scoring figure for one scoring.

Here are some questions from Mr. Numbers:
And the answers from HiG - Georg Wild - Telephone call 10 05 2013:

Robber and Messages:

1. Robber stands near one particular counting figure and robs only it's points. In this situation it is possible that robber will stand on the scoreboard till the end of the game, if the player will decide not to move this particular figure.

Yes, it is possible that the robber would stand till the end of the game.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Robber stands near any counting figure and robs any points that this player will receive regardless what figure player will move forward. In this situation robber stands near "virtual" counting figure and receive first available points (of course, according the rules).

No, the robber can only rob the points from the counting figure which is on the same space as the robber.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Robber and other expansions:

Part 1: Will the robber receive Wheel of Fortune or Fairy's (1 point) points? This action is performed before "place the tile" phase, so robber can receive this points.

Yes, the robber can rob the points.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 2: OR: robber can wait till the end of the whole turn and receive all points that this player will receive in this turn including Wheel of Fortune points at the start of the turn. The same applies to Catapult points.
No, the robber must always rob the next points that are scored. The robber can't wait for a scoring with more points. Each scoring is separated - that means for example each feature is scored individually. The same is with the Fairy-Point or with the Catapult points or points from the Wheel of Fortune.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Has this been asked and answered?

A Robber stands next to a counting figure on the scoring track. The counting figure scores mulitple features triggered by the placement of the current tile. The multiple features score different amounts of points. Does the Robber get to choose which score he will "rob"? Or does the scoring player decide which of his features to score first, and thereby dicate which feature the Robber will rob?

Two more questions from Carcking:

The Goldmines and the Castle

I have finished my comments for all the pictures. I modified all the postings where the pictures are included.
The results are the information which I have got from Christof Tisch (graphic artist for HiG).


Here comes the link:

Okay, I have questions about things that should not be duplicated in the double-turn. See the link here.

Are there things that should be added to that list? Things that should be removed?

Here's a question about The Phantom and the Wheel of Fortune.

In brief, the rules say that the phantom is played to the tile that was just placed, but footnote 363 in S-CAR 6.3 states that "You can do whatever you can do with a follower." Thus: Can you play the Phantom to areas such as the Wheel of Fortune or a tower, or is the Phantom restricted to placement on the tile just placed?
