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.

|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 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. | {{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? | ||

'''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.
