* '''48 followers'''<ref>[[File:Icon_Open_Book.png|16px|text-bottom| | * '''48 followers'''<ref>[[File:Icon_Open_Book.png|16px|text-bottom|]] '''Question:''' Too few followers—are we playing wrong or are there really too few? '''Answer:''' In our view there are not too few. A certain shortage of followers is entirely intentional. An important element of the game is precisely learning to be economical with one's followers. | ||

'''Answer:''' 'Corner to corner' is not a connection! Segments can only be connected on the edges. In the example shown there are two cities at the moment. [[File:Base_Game_C1_Sample_Note_7.jpg|frame|none|Corner to corner]]</ref> Corner-to-corner placement is not permitted. | ||

You can close the city without it being occupied and (for example) deploy a farmer as long as the farm is unoccupied. The city does not necessarily require a knight to look after it.

'''Answer:''' Yes! The same rules are valid for a field surrounding a cloister as for any other field. You can also deploy a farmer next to a cloister. In this case the cloister remains unoccupied for the rest of the game.[unless the cloister is occupied via a magic portal, or from a follower in Carcassonne—ed.] | ||

If a player draws a tile with two city segments and completes a small city, earning 4 points, can he or she then deploy a follower to a new city segment in the same turn? | ||
'''Answer:''' A player may only deploy one follower per turn, and that follower may be deployed only once, and it must be before any scoring. If the player already occupies the small, now-completed city, he or she may deploy a second follower to the other city segment immediately after placing the tile. The small city will then be scored and the follower involved returned to the player. If the player does not yet occupy this city, he or she can decide which of the two city segments to deploy a follower to. If the follower is deployed to the small city, it will be returned immediately and the player will earn four points, but the follower cannot be redeployed.</ref> | '''Answer:''' A player may only deploy one follower per turn, and that follower may be deployed only once, and it must be before any scoring.
