Thanks for all that recognition
It was a long and hard work to build that tower. We play it several times a week... Usually we play with 2 basic games, inns, traders, the "normal" cards from mayor and the self made expansion "the lake" which contains 48 tiles you can get here from the german page

http://carcassonne-city.blogspot.com/2007/04/der-see-von-guido-kmmer-und-carsten.htmlThe delphins are like the heraldics in the city. But because there are less lake tiles than citys we count it different than the autor invented:
Lake with only 2 tiles brings 3 points, lake with more than 2 tiles brings 3 points for every tile, delphins count also 3 points (all if finished). We also use the builder in the lake.
The other fan made expansion is "the forest", but it looks completely different than yours. I bought it on eb*y but the quality was as worst as could be, so I asked the seller for the original files and promised not to distribute it. He mailed me the the file and I scaned the original cards and copied the forest (have you ever done a selection of a forest in photoshop?
) into the new scaned cards.
And after that I found this community, now I will rename "my" forest indo rainforest and "your" forest will be "normal forest"
:D
I'm also working on a traveling edition, here you can see 21x21mm wood-tiles (0.83"). I plan to stick velcro tape on the bottom side and build a woodbox with also velcro tape on the ground. So we can play for example in the plane on the small table or on the beach with 200 tiles
In the upper left corner you can see the meeples which were sticked on small felt-.. things
So you can interrupt a game and continue it later somewhere else..
EDIT
