Solving the dragon-German castle situation?

[Valheru]

So, during a playing session with a few friends, we combined, next to some other expansions, the dragon and castles in Germany. Now in the CAR, it is stated that:

'It is unknown if the German castle tile counts as one tile or two for the purposes of dragon
movement, flier movement, the plague, and tower range. (5/2015)'

It could be me, or maybe just logical thought, but since the castle-tiles give 12 points when fully built around it, the castle itself counts for two points when counting. If every tile, like a cloister, is worth one point, doesn't it automatically make that castle a twotile-tile and thus solving the dragon question (splitting it in half while moving the dragon)?

You missed some fun discussing this!

Apparently the CAR needs some updating in this area. The official ruling on this can be found in kettlefish's post (point 5). If you have a spare day or two you can read all the comments that followed regarding what people thought of this ruling! As will be obvious (if you do read them), I'm not a fan of it and so house-rule that it counts as 2 tiles if I ever play with both. I don't think I'm alone in this!

Dan, thank you for the reply! Definitely a two-tiler here..
