{{FAQ|3=600px|
When scoring a city or a road, how should we consider two Halfling tiles in one space?|
The Halflings count as one occupied space (area). [Note that spaces occupied by one or two Halfling tiles are considered equivalent to a regular tile. -ed.] (1/2021)}}
 
> '''Roads and cities'''
 
As per the base game rules, completed cities cannot contain gaps. In this case, this means they cannot contain square or triangular gaps. Roads will follow the same rule: A road with a triangular gap will be considered incomplete too.<br />

The scoring of a completed city or road will follow the normal rules but one or two triangular tiles in one square space will be counted as one regular tile.

Field scoring is affected by the triangular gaps in the landscape. They are not covered explicitly by the rules or later clarifications. If we apply the principle that other features but monasteries are scored as per the usual rules, triangular gaps should interrupt the field continuity and define boundaries.
[[File:Halflings_C2_Clarification_Farm_Example_01.jpg|200px|frame|none|'''Example:''' As per the interpretation of the rules, the triangular gap in the picture interrupts the field. Therefore...
<ul>
<li>{{ColorRed|Red}} and {{ColorBlue|Blue}} share the field on the left and will score 3 points each for it.</li>
<li>{{ColorRed|Red}} is alone in the field on the right and will score 3 points for it.</li>
</ul>

Therefore, monasteries are scored taking into account the spaces occupied by the monastery tile and by tiles (1 or 2) in the adjacent spaces. The number of tiles occupying these spaces is irrelevant. This means that:
