But don't panic: you can also get followers back.

If you complete a previously unoccupied feature when placing a tile, you do not have to occupy it and earn the points. You can close the city or road 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. [[File:Base_Game_C1_Example_Note_12.jpg|frame|none|Earning points from a closed city]]

If any feature was completed through the placement of the tile, it must now be scored. If not, the player’s turn is over, and it is the turn of the next player on the left.

{{FAQ|[[File:Base_Game_C1_Example_Note_7.jpg|frame|right|]]We have difficulty deciding when a placed tile represents a new city or belongs to one already being built.

|'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.  

{{FAQ|[[File:Base_Game_C1_Example_Note_13.jpg|frame|right|]]On cloister tiles, are we allowed to deploy a follower on the surrounding field segment?

|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.]

Whenever points are scored, they are immediately recorded on the scoreboard (more on this in the section about the scoreboard).

No, like all the usual land tiles, a road segment must continue to another road segment on all edges.<br/><br/>

{{FAQ|[[File:Base_Game_C1_Example_Note_17.jpg|frame|right|]]How are the road segments between T-junctions scored? Are the horizontal segments (on top of the T) also ends, or do these count as straight roads that have to be completed elsewhere?|

Every crossing (or junction) ends a road, irrespective of which direction they reach the junction from. The thieves cannot enter the small villages on the junctions either. In the example shown, every thief is on its own road.

|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.

'''Be careful:''' The player who placed the new tile may not deploy a farmer, since the (now connected) farm is already occupied by farmers.]]

[[File:Base_Game_C1_Example_Scoreboard.jpg|frame|none|"50"/"100" tiles and a scoring marker after 50 points.]]

'''Note:''' When two followers of one color are occupying a road, city, or farm, you DO NOT score double in these cases. The number of followers (or in ''Inns and Cathedrals'' the size of the followers) has no effect on the points that a player earns from a road, city, cloister, or farm. Two knights do not double the points. The number of followers is only important in establishing who has the majority. [[File:Base_Game_C1_Example_Note_21.jpg|frame|none|Scoring when two followers are in the same city]]

{{ColorGreen|BLACK}} scores nothing, since {{ColorGreen|GREEN}} has more knights in the city.]]

{{FAQ|Final scoring: segments of incomplete roads. 1 point per follower or 1 point per road segment? Cloister: 1 point for every neighboring tile (e.g. 5), or is an incomplete cloister worth only 1 point?

|[[File:Base_Game_C1_Example_Note_29.jpg|frame|right|]]During the final scoring, roads earn exactly as much as during the game, that is, 1 point per tile that the road occupies. In the example shown, {{ColorBlue|BLUE}} earns four points at the end of the game. The only exception in the final scoring is a road with an inn from ''Inns and Cathedrals'', which earns no points whatsoever at the end of the game. The cloister earns 1 point for the cloister itself and 1 point for every neighboring tile. When there are five tiles surrounding the cloister it earns 6 in total.}}

The player with the most points wins.<ref>{{IconArrow}} The [[Hans_im_Glück|'''HiG''']] rules do not have any instructions regarding what to do in case of a tie. The [[Rio_Grande_Games|'''RGG''']]  rules state that tied players “rejoice in their shared victory.” The [[Z Man Games|'''ZMG''']] rules state, “In case of a tie, play another game to determine the winner!”</ref>

{{FAQ|It is unclear whether incomplete farms earn points during the final scoring.

{{FAQ|At the end of the game, do we score farms which are completely closed off by roads, but which don't have any adjacent cities? If so, how?

==== Example of farmer scoring ==== <!--T:79-->

Notice that cities A and B score points for {{ColorBlue|BLUE}} on farm 1 as well as {{ColorRed|RED}} and {{ColorBlue|BLUE}} on farm 2, since these cities border both farms. The city on the bottom left is incomplete, and so generates no points.
