Breweries (previously titled 'beseiged cloisters')

[meepleater]

Like A&T, here is an expansion which I made for BGG, and I reckon should get CC-ised. Novelty, in a few months when you're done, you might be interested in 'beseiged cloisters'.

There are only three tiles to it, and the artwork is pretty poor.

The file was to big to directly add to the forum.

Basically, this expansion adds tiles that have cloisters under seige. When one such tile is drawn it may be placed normally, or it can replace an existing cloister tile (but any meeples on it stay the same.)

The beseiged cloister is now worth less points...

This might require a total revamp.... so any opinions are welcome...

[Novelty]

I would say revamp it. Cloisters are pretty useless at the moment in terms of a reasonable score. I always use the farm or road on them these days, since I will probably score more with them than cloisters. A cloister under siege would give me even less incentive to complete it.

[meepleater]

Maybe part of the expansion is that normal cloisters are 2 points per tile?

[Novelty]

I think it needs to be something exciting.  Maybe you can think more about it.

[meepleater]

Ok... I've decided to scrap that.

I have a new idea... marketplace.
My idea is that if you draw a marketplace you may claim it, and when you have surrounded it (like a cloister) you may take any trade good of your choice; grain, cloth and wine from T&B, and maybe even fish, wood, herb, pinapple, gold, magic apple etc. from the fan made expansions...

any ideas

Yea I think if anything cloisters need more points.  What if by adding certain tiles to a cloisters circle it made the cloister more valuable?  My vote would be an alehouse.  Those monks knew how to brew...

[meepleater]

Monks and alcohol? Lol...

A Brewery might be too similar to an inn... a good idea though... how about, if a certain building is adjacent to a cloister, it gives the cloister an additional 6 points when completed?

What happens when there are 2?  What happens when there are 8?

Like the inn, I would imagine, the bonus could only be applied once.

They also made really fine cheese and cured meats.  I'm not making any of this up.  Personally I would love to see a brewery/alehouse as my gaming group would get a kick out of it.  They would probably want to make it worth 100 points lol.  Yes, we have a couple beers when we play this. (It makes the catapult much more fun)

[meepleater]

The brewery sounds good... but it has to be distiguished from the inn...

[meepleater]

I've done a basic tile; but for some reason even the zip is too big to post (and I tried to post images on my spin-off but there was an error). Novelty, if I e-mail it to you, would you be able to put it up?

[Novelty]

If it's an image, use an online site like photobucket or flickr to host it and then link to them.

[meepleater]

good idea...

[meepleater]

Sorry about the wait, having various issues with photobucket; here is the link, I hope.

edited by Gantry: html code isn't allowed on the forums but you can do the same thing with BBC code (aka IMG code, which is the last link on the photobucket list):

The tile wasn't that bright when I made it, it's just something photobucket did...
