Carcassonne Central

Hello there
 
I have some questions regarding Carcassonne:
Can you please answer them or send the questions over to someone that can.
 
1. When drawing a dragontile and placing it with no follower you are therefore allowed to move the princess.
BUT my girlfriend thinks that she should be able to move the princess BEFORE moving the dragon so that she
first can "rescue" her follower that is closest to the dragon.
I think that the rules say that you should move the dragon before moving the princess, what is correct ?
 
2. My girlfriend also thinks that the wooden princess not only should save a follower from the dragon,
but also from being taken off the table with a princess tile, or being taken prisoner from the tower.
 
3. Are the followers standing inside Carcassonne (Count expansion) saved from the dragon or can the dragon
walk into the city ?  Can even the follower standing next to the Count be taken by the dragon.
 
4. Last night when we played, I connected a farm with my barn with another farm with my follower (farmer).
In the city of Carcassonne me and my girlfriend each had a follower in the market, but then she completed
a city for me and moved her "double" follower (from Inns & Cathedrals) into the market.
Did we count the points correctly when we said that her "double" follower was equal to my barn and farmer ?
 
5. Most tiles in the expansions can be recognized when you are putting the tiles away after playing.
BUT not 2 of the 3 extra tiles in the King expansion (one is pictured in the rules), the 24th and last tile in the
Traders and Builders expansion (three are pictured in the rules), and 6 tiles in the Inns & Cathedrals expansion (four are pictured).
Is there a possibility to get a mail from you with pictures of the extra tiles in those three expansions.

1. You may move the fairy (I surmise this is what you mean by princess) before the dragon is deployed.

2. No, only the dragon. However - nothing stops you from making your own house rules.

3. The dragon can not enter the city of Carcassonne.

4. I will have to pass this one since I have only played A&M once.

5. Check out the download section. There are PDF-documents there which will help you :)

Thanks for your help,
regarding nr.5 above, I couldn´t get into the download section, what's the password ?

Also, the prints of extra tiles in the "open" download section seems really nice, is there any way of getting hold of blank or extra "real" tiles to paste those extra "print" tiles on ?
Or do I have to paste those "print" tiles on actual "real" tiles that I don't wish to have.

Cheers

Are you sure about this? I was under the impression that the dragon moved immediately after tile placement and before "moving the wood" phase.

the CAR ver 4.1 p 30 " The dragon":


I think this answers your question  :)

I am pretty sure :)

Snap! Looks like my group bungled another rule up, and once again it's my fault. I bow to your superior knowledge of the rules.
