RESERVOIRS AND GRANARIES

A Carcassonne Central expansion by meepleater

In Carcassonne, there have been heavy rains, which have filled up all the reservoirs in the
land. However, wiser knights know that though the fields around their cities are green

and lush now, any dry weather, or an untimely siege, and the people will starve- which

they believe calls for a new type of building…

Preparation

If only using the base Carcassonne, shuffle 5 reservoir tiles in with the rest of the tiles. Add 1 more reservoir tile for every 12
expansion tiles added. Also add the granary and siege tiles to the tiles being played.

2. Deploy a fol lower

When a tile depicting a reservoir is drawn, it is placed in accordance with normal rules, and a follow er may be deployed to
the reservoir as an irrigator

.

3. Score

A granary has the ability to cancel out some of the effects of a siege. This means that when a besieged city containing a
granary is completed, it scores full points. It does not matter how many sieges have been placed on the city, the granary

counteracts all of them. However, knights may not escape from a besieged city with a granary via a cloister or cult.

If a completed city contains a granary but is not besieged, then the owner of that city receives an additional 5 points.

An irrigator can be eaten by the dragon, captured by the tower and removed by the catapult like ordinary followers. A lake may also be occupied by use of

a magic gate, but not through the City of Carcassonne.

Final Scoring

At the end of the game, each irrigator scores an immediate 5 points, as well as the following:

•

2 points for every other reservoir orthogonal to the irrigator’s reservoir, but is not in the same field.

•

2 points for every other reservoir in the same field as the irrigator’s reservoir, but is not orthogonal.

•

4 points for every other reservoir that is both orthogonal and in the same field as the irrigator’s reservoir.

At the end of the game, green would score 5 points for owning a reservoir, 2 points for the reservoir on the top-right
(because it is orthogonal to green’s reservoir), 2 points for the reservoir on the bottom-right (because it is in the same

field as green’s reservoir), and 4 points for the reservoir on the bottom-left (because it is orthogonal and in the same field

as green’s reservoir), making a total of 13 points for green.

Any incomplete besieged cities with a granary still score 0 points, in accordance with the rules for the Siege/ Cathars. An

incomplete city with a granary but is not besieged scores 1 point per tile/ pennant (the 5 point bonus has been removed).

When a field is scored; a completed city with a granary that is not besieged scores 0 points for the farmer/barn because the

city does not need to be supplied with grain. A completed city with a granary that is besieged scores only 3 points (or 4 with a
pig, pig herd or barn), i.e. the bonus for the city being besieged has been removed.
