Once again Bubbasco, it looks like you did a really nice job making these! They look really good. I haven't even made these myself yet, and it's my own expansion!  Undecided

We played with this one last night. The new world is awesome. I made a bunch of points off of it from other players playing pieces there for a double turn. Excellent expansion. We all loved it.

If you don't mind me asking, how did you get the tiles to look so nice. I know there are numerous methods, but when I see well-designed tiles, I like to know the specific technique. I am still considering buying an arbour press, but honestly, I haven't played Carcassonne in three weeks due to my hectic schedule. STILL haven't played Seasons despite the fact that I have planned to play it at least three times now. Sigh...

I have a supply of chipboard which is the proper thickness for Carcassonne tiles. I then print the tiles onto full page sticker paper. I adhere the sticker to the chipboard, cut out very carefully with scissors, and then I have the finished pieces!

I was going to ask the same question.  Your method seems a little unique to most suggestions here.  It might be closest to bufferman44 who uses the arbour press.  I'm wondering how they compare to the factory made tiles.  Would you be willing to post some photo comparisons?

This should probably be moved to Crafters Guild at this point.

Sure thing! I'll get some photos of some tiles for you to compare. When I get those together, I'll create a topic in the Crafters Guild.

Just read through the rules (my apologies for being tardy).  I've got a few questions:

1. Is the new world extra tile in addition to the builder extra tile?  Let's say it's my turn, and I play a tile to a castle in the existing area (not New world) with my builder.  I get a second tile as per the normal builder rules.  If I play that second tile into the New world (and I'm not the discoverer of the new world), do I get to draw a 3rd tile?
2. What happens to the Discoverer when the new world is connected to the rest of the play area?  Does it return to the player's supply, or is it moved somewhere, or ...?
3. Map tiles: What happens when there is insufficient tiles to draw the required number of initial map tiles as listed in the rules?  Are only the maximum possible number of tiles drawn?
4. Are the tiles used by the players on their turn and instead of drawing from the draw pile, or are they used during the turn of the player who played the map tile?
5. What happens if a second map tile is played while there are still face up tiles from the first tile?
6. What happens if there is no place to play the face-up tile(s) available?
7. Can the abbey (if one is available) be played instead of a face-up tile?
8. After the explorere has been played, and the exploration area expended, can either the mayor or builder or pig or barn be played to the exploration area?
9. If yes to 8, can anyone play those pieces, or only the explorer's owner?
10. If yes to builder in 8, does the builder give the "extra tile" during that turn, or is the statement in the last paragraph "Additionally, tiles added to the exploration area will NOT provide an extra tile for that turn." still valid?
11. Can the Discoverer or the Explorer be captured by the tower or removed by the dragon or removed/exchanged by the appropriate catapult tokens?  Can the fairy be moved next to the Discoverer or Explorer?
12. Can the magic portal or the city of carcassonne be used to deploy followers to the exploration area?
13. What happens if Player A plays a tile such that it connects Player A's exploration area to Player B's?  Is that even possible?  The area is still technically separate from the main play area.
14. Is it possible to escaped a sieged/cathar city via a cloister in the unconnected exploration or discovery area?
15. Can a tower in the exploration and discovery area capture a follower outside of those areas?
16. Can the dragon be played in the exploration or discovery area?

Sorry again for the large number of questions.

Haven't seen much activity on this topic in a while. Is this still a work in progress?

This is a really cool expansion.  In addition to the myriad of questions from Novelty, I had one about the Discoverer.  If the dragon eats the discoverer, does the New World become undiscovered, offer no bonus points or continue to earn bonus points for the original discoverer.  If the mountain is repopulated by the magic portal or some other method, does the new discoverer get the bonus points?  If this is the case, then you don't really need the flag chits since the discovery points are awarded to the player who occupies the mountain.

JPutt927 metioned in the following post...

http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/forum/index.php?topic=1175.0

...that he's been busy with some projects of late.  I think the same can be said for Barbarian Horde and By Order of the King still be unfinished at this point.

It's about time this expansion gets added to the downloads section. I've addressed most of the necessary questions mentioned above and updated the rules. For me, this thing is considered complete. 

Here's a link to the updated rules (the link on the first post has also been updated).

Nothing has actually been added to the downloads section for awhile.  But definetly more recently then you finished this.
