'''The Cathars''' expansion of 4 tiles was initially released in ''Spielbox'' in {{Year|2004}}, and because of its rarity, it has become one of the most sought-after Carcassonne expansions. Copyright prevented The Cathars from being reprinted by anyone except Spielbox, so [[Rio Grande Games|Rio Grande Games]] developed '''Siege''' to be able to publish tiles with the same function. The four tiles in Siege have the same functional layout as the tiles in The Cathars, but the artwork is entirely new. Thus, Siege is effectively a reprint of The Cathars with updated artwork. The rules for Siege are also almost identical to those for The Cathars; the only difference involves escape from a besieged city (see rules below). | '''The Cathars''' expansion of 4 tiles was initially released in ''Spielbox'' in {{Year|2004}}, and because of its rarity, it has become one of the most sought-after Carcassonne expansions.

<ref> | <ref>{{IconArrow}} Note that in '''The Besiegers''' and '''The Cathars''', a cloister must be placed '''directly adjacent to a Besieger/Cathars tile''' to allow a knight to escape. However, [[Rio_Grande_Games|'''RGG's''']] rules for '''Siege''' state that a cloister allowing escape can be placed adjacent to '''any tile of a besieged city''' (even diagonally). For the sake of consistency, at the beginning of the game it would be useful to select only one of these rules when combining tiles from these sets. Purists can choose the Besiegers/Cathars rule, as it’s the German original, although the [[Rio_Grande_Games|'''RGG''']] Siege rule makes escape much more viable.</ref> | ||

<ref> | <ref>{{IconBook}} '''Question''': Can I simply free a knight after a turn, if a cloister borders [a besieged city], or do I have to build onto that city or cloister [in the same turn]?

He or she must simply have a knight in the city.</ref> <ref> | ||

'''Question:''' To clarify an earlier question: Can a player allow a follower to escape a besieged city via a cloister, and place the same follower in the city of Carcassonne on the same turn? (When does follower escape happen?) | |||
'''Answer:''' The knight escapes at the end of the turn, and so cannot be re-deployed in the same turn. (5/2007) | |||

The farmers supply provisions to both the besiegers and the besieged.
