The original version of the rules specifically mention completion of a road, city, or cloister as necessary to trigger the placement of a follower in Carcassonne. However, the [[Rio Grande Games|'''RGG''']] version of the rules and the '''{{VariantsLink|version=BigBox2|logo=noborder}}''' rules change the rule to that given here.

It is clear from the wording that only scoring caused by placement of a tile can trigger placement of a follower in Carcassonne. Thus, scoring from non-landscape-tile related events (such as from dispatches ('''{{MessagesLink|edition=C1|logo=noborder}}''') or paying a ransom for the Tower ('''{{TowerLink|edition=C1|logo=noborder}}''') would not trigger follower placement. Interestingly, though, another FAQ answer (below and on the '''{{AbbeyMayorLink|edition=C1|logo=noborder}}''' page) indicates that placement of a barn '''does''' trigger the ability to place a follower in Carcassonne.

The mayor, the wagon, and the abbot '''can''' be placed in the appropriate quarter of Carcassonne. The barn '''cannot''' be placed in the city of Carcassonne. (updated 3/2015)

'''Question:''' If I place a barn on a farm on which another player has farmers, causing him/her to score while I score nothing, can I move a follower to Carcassonne? (While there is no immediate score to me now, the barn is certain to score at the end of the game). '''Answer:''' Yes, that’s allowed. Only immediately scored points matter. A similar question arises with regard to trade goods, which may lead to points at the end of the game.

'''Question:''' Say I have a heretic engaged in a challenge with a monk, and I place the tile which completes the monk's cloister, so that the monk scores 9 points and I score 0. Can I still move a follower to Carcassonne in this case? '''Answer:''' Yes, triggered scoring, received no points: conditions fulfilled.

A follower '''cannot''' be deployed to Carcassonne via a magic portal. The magic portal only allows followers to be deployed to tiles that can be legally occupied according to the usual rules, as if the player had just placed the tile in question. Carcassonne is occupied according to different rules.
</ref> If several features are completed, the player must not score points '''in any of them''' in order to take advantage of this opportunity.
