Had an idea of a city under construction, which placing this tile would block anyone else from coming in or out of the city until it is completed by the followers already inside. Any thoughts?

I like the idea, but I think that the mechanics can be more 'innovative'.

Some ideas:

• A player can place a Builder on CUC (City-Under-Construction) tile as normal follower
• When a CUC is complete all Farmers (from the fields connected to this city) score 3 points (4 w/pig) immediately ('cause a new city needs more proviant at the begining)
• At least one tile of a CUC must be normal city tile to complete it, i.e. if all city tiles are CUC tiles, it is incomplete, points aren't doubled, Farmers score nothing, but a player can take his follower back.

I like these modifiers palkan!

• A player can place a Builder on CUC (City-Under-Construction) tile as normal follower

So the Builder is still allowed to enter a CUC after the tile is placed or the Builder is it's own follower? I kind of like the idea of both 

• At least one tile of a CUC must be normal city tile to complete it, i.e. if all city tiles are CUC tiles, it is incomplete, points aren't doubled, Farmers score nothing, but a player can take his follower back.

So if all tiles are CUC tiles, the player scores incomplete points or zero points? Incomplete points (1 pt. ea.) sounds good.

I was worried about how to handle situations where someone is attempting to merge into a city and the main city adds a CUC tile. This could potentially decrease the chances of completing the CUC if no city divider tiles are available. Maybe include a few more of city dividers with the expansion?

Yeah, incomplete points.

Maybe, to add some dividers with one CUC segment and one normal city segment is a good idea.

I've got some ideas about graphics, so I can try to realize them)

Fantastic! I was envisioning the building crumbles from the Cathars and adding wooden planks up the walls with builders. But I am curious to see your designs too

I thought the same thing while working.

really beautiful, congratulations

Great job on the art palkan! This is exactly how I pictured it, the towers are a nice touch  especially like how this road is all curvy. Can't wait to see this spring to life!

How many tiles do we need?

Perfect palkan! I was invisioning 6 or so. Should be enough to do some damage 

[CKorfmann]

Six might be too many, especially if you are playing with Siege/Cathers as well.  It might be better to stick to four.  Although, it could be just as easy to leave some out.

good point. Maybe we can test how 4 tiles work in a test game.
