General / Why cities score 2 points/tile instead of 1 point/tile?

« on: May 10, 2018, 11:19:52 PM »

After reading some reviews and analysis, I know that there are many people think city is more powerful than road, and I&C fixed it by adding inn to give road more bonus.

But I think it can also be done by negativing city, the result should be same (only compare road and city).

So, why not? And go further, why city get 2 point? I think if there is no (or less) three-part and full city tile, like Hunters and Gatherers, the city will be easy to complete just as road.

My core question is, if there is a spin-off, can city scores 1 point/tile without any balance problems? And what should be done to solve these balance problems?

General / Where can I get all the cover art?

For a long time not visit, I just noticed HiG website has updated, and now,  there are only base game and EXP rule can be download, others has been removed, what a pity! (However, I used to download those back in 2014, lucky.)

I like the old art style, but I think the new covers are great, so I want to collect them, but where can I get the cover art for both old and new? Has HiG ever put them on website? I mean the front view of the cover, not the sample of box.

General / If only choose one, river1 or river2?

In some carcassonne PC/phone games, they usually come with river2 and claim this one is the most desired.
However, boardgames almost always come with river1.

So, I'm just curious,  if only use one river expansion, which one is more popular.

General / Can I get HD tiles from somewhere?

I found some fan-made expansion used high resolution tiles,almost 600*600px.
I'm curious about where are these original tiles come from.
Does all these tiles painted by themselves,or official website had provided some HD tiles to download?
