* '''48 followers''' in six colors<ref>{{IconWorld}} As far as the [[Variants#Big Box|Big Box]] is concerned, the sixth set of (gray) followers is a part of the basic game, not [[Inns and Cathedrals (1st edition)|Inns and Cathedrals]]. Additionally, [[Variants#Big Box 5|Big Box 5]] adds purple and pink followers for up to 8 players. Meeples in a additional colors can be acquired online.</ref>:
* '''40 followers''' in five colors<ref>{{IconWorld}} This is not mentioned in the [[Variants#Big Box|Big Box]], [[Variants#Big Box 2|Big Box 2]], [[Variants#Big Box 3|Big Box 3]], [[Variants#Big Box 4|Big Box 4]]  rules. The sixth player (gray) is listed here directly at the base game and not at [[Inns and Cathedrals (1st edition)|Inns and Cathedrals]]. This makes the rules clearer. Additionally, [[Variants#Big Box 5|Big Box 5]] adds purple and pink followers for up to 8 players. Meeples in a additional colors can be acquired online.</ref>:

This is the number intended by designers. A certain shortage of followers is entirely intentional. An important element of the game is precisely learning to be economical with one's followers.

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.

{{FAQ|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?
<!--T:135-->
|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. [[File:Base_Game_C1_Example_Note_14.jpg|frame|none|Only one follower can be deployed per turn]]
{{FAQ|1=On cloister tiles, are we allowed to deploy a follower on the surrounding field segment?
|2=[[File:Base_Game_C1_Example_Note_13.jpg|frame|right|]] 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.] <br clear="all" />

Only the farmers and their farms are left, and these will be scored now. The owner of each farm should be established. If several players have farmers on a given farm, then the player with the most farmers is the owner. In the case of a draw, all the players with the most farmers are considered to be owners. The owner (or owners) of the farm score '''3 points for every completed city which borders the farm''', or lies within it.<ref>{{IconBook}} '''Question:''' It is unclear whether incomplete farms earn points during the final scoring. '''Answer:''' It is almost impossible to close off or complete most of the farms. The most important thing when scoring the farms are the cities, which do indeed have to be complete. So: completed cities count on incomplete farms as well. [[File:Base_Game_C1_Example_Note_30.jpg|frame|none|Scoring "incomplete" farms]]</ref> <ref>{{IconBook}}  '''Question:''' 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? '''Answer:''' Strictly speaking, they should be scored exactly like every other farm, with 3 points for every completed city. In this case, that makes a total of zero points. And the farmer is nevertheless unable to leave the farm. All this is of course highly frustrating and cries out for revenge!

{{FAQ|It is unclear whether incomplete farms earn points during the final scoring.
|[[File:Base_Game_C1_Example_Note_30.jpg|frame|right|]]It is almost impossible to close off or complete most of the farms. The most important thing when scoring the farms are the cities, which do indeed have to be complete. So: completed cities count on incomplete farms as well.}}

{{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?
|[[File:Base_Game_C1_Example_Note_31.jpg|frame|right|]]Strictly speaking, they should be scored exactly like every other farm, with 3 points for every completed city. In this case, that makes a total of zero points. And the farmer is nevertheless unable to leave the farm. All this is of course highly frustrating and cries out for revenge! }}
