I was actually my wife's idea.  I've got a few fixes to make before it's done.

HERE are the fixed rules.
HERE are the tiles in the right proportions.

The original links are dead.

A few comments.

1. Place a tile.  Comment: "When the two King’s Gate tiles are placed in different cities, both cities are considered to be as one."  Statement unclear what one thing both cities are considered to be.  I think you mean "considered to be the same city".

2. Deploying a Follower.  Comment: "All followers placed in both cities containing the King’s Gate are counted together when calculating the majority."  The proper phrase is "determining who has the most knights in the city" instead of "calculating the majority".

3. Score.  Comment: "No scoring takes place until both cities containing the King’s Gate tiles are finished or the game comes to an end." That sounds omnimous!  "finished" is vague as the rules normally uses "completed".  "the game comes to an end" would be better phrased (and is usually done so in the rules) as "the end of the game".

Rev it up to 1.0 after that and PDF it and I'll upload it to Public Downloads.

Thanks for your comments.  As with shepherds, I'll try to do this soon, but it might take a little while.

You forgot to put the expansion's title in the title line on the rules and you acknowledge Gantry twice with the same praise (not that praise is bad, but you could probably remove him from the first praise list).

Thanks for the comments.  Corrected and updated the link.  I don't have a PDF program.  Sorry!  Undecided  Anyone know where I can get a good free one?

You might want to remove the blue box for the tiles (it'll consume a lot more ink than necessary when printing) and add in the title instead of "Title here".

Good free PDF maker = PDF Redirect.

I thought I had fixed that!  I did it twice.  I guess I messed it up somehow.  Oh well, the link will be updated and I'll removed the blue box.  That's a good idea.  

Incidentally, how do you get that textured blue box you've used a couple times?  I like that one a lot better.

That PDF Redirect is really nice and easy to use, even for a dumby like me!  Perhaps we could put it somewhere for everyone to see and use if they wish.  It might be helpful to others too.

Good job on this expansion! I don't think I would have done it as well. An idea without follow-through is just an idea. Thanks for polishing it up and sharing it with everybody. :-)

I know you are busy Korf, but when you do get the time, could you get the PDF versions ready for me to upload to the public downloads?  Thanks!

Sorry about that.  I don't know what happened to them.  I thought for sure I had already done that.  Anyway the updated rules are HERE and the tiles are HERE.

Hi all

So it says in the rules: "All tile features that effect scoring for either city (cathedral tiles, siege tiles, etc) effect the total combined score for both cities."

So just to be clear, does this mean if one city with the KG has a cathedral and the other doesn't, the one without also gets 3 pts per city tile & pennant, or are they simply scored individually as 2 seperate cities with the majority landowner getting the combined total? It says "When the two King’s Gate tiles are placed in different cities, the two are considered to be the same city" so I assume the former applies.

I'm sure the answer is in the quote from the rules and I'm just reading it wrong, but any clarification would be appreciated Smiley

Yes, the answer is in the quote.  The two cities are considered to be as one and are scored as one, as if they were connected.  So, a cathedral, a siege tile, or anything else would affect both cities.  I guess in essence, there are not two cities at all, but really one, connected by the King's Gate.  Also, all followers in "both" cities count toward the majority of the whole.  Does this clarify things?
