Ruls clarification from you experts?

[witoflash]

First off...I love Carcassonne.  We currently play with all expansions together (although have yet to add the tower).  I have 2 questions:

1. Does/can the dragon eat a builder and or a pig if it lands on that tile?

2. Does a builder count toward the follower total to determine control of a city, road?

Your answers would be greatly apreciated.

can't say i'm an expert but my multiple readings of the FAQ and other rules tells me that:

1).  yes, the dragon can eat a builder or pig (he needs a well balanced diet ya know)
2).  the builder does not count for 'majority' when figuring who receives points for a city.

raberj has it right.  witoflash, if you haven't done it already, take a look in your forum profile for the password to the downloads section, where you can get a copy of mjharper's excellent Annotated Rules, it covers all the updated rules, how all the expansions work with each other, and explains them all very well.  Very handy to print out and have by your side when you play!

Thanks to both of you!  Very helpful!  And yes, i just found in my profile info the password for downloads...thanks TWICE!
