How about using the department shield of Aude, which is where Carcassonne is situated?  |

I have been playing around with the Carcassonne shield. This has a yellow fluer-d-lys pattern background with a castle on top. It did not really work as the fleur-d-lys got too small to see. However that shield is much better example. I'll give it a go and post the result.

When was France divided into departments though? During the time period of the game, does Aude already exists, or is the area still part of the province of Languedoc?
Historical accuracy issues aside, I like the shield. Doesn't stand out as much as the fleur-de-lis, which could be a good thing or bad thing depending on what you're going for.

I like the shields. I think i'll go with that.
Any ideas on how many and what sort of tiles one should use these on?

I would think about 4 tiles for this mini-expansion.

I just had a thought... would the shields get confused with "Families"? Perhaps there should be a white circle around the shield afterall? Just a thought...

Changed the shields to match Carcassonne coat of arms (blue with castle). Old shield top, new one bottom.  Or, perhaps this shield?  |

The red Aude shield looks best. The others has way too much detail which is lost at that size.

I agree with you Novelty, the red Aude shields do look better! This is my choice for the four tiles:  Any additions/changes before this is finalised and completed? |

I like your "shield behind buildings" image. These look good to me.

I have been writing up the 'new' draft rules. I was thinking about the chivalry pennants. This is the statement made in the scoring section: Scoring for the city is exactly the same as normal Carcassonne rules. The chivalry tile does not have any additional value attached to it. Chivalry pennants are worthless when it comes to scoring for the city. Should the chivalry pennants be worthless when scoring? |

I think they shouldn't be worth anything. Otherwise, a player will probably have a double bonus with it, i.e. a free upgrade of their meeple, which will probably win them the majority and more points from just one tile.

I agree, pennants should be worthless. However, in view of this, just to avoid confusion, let me present a change to the icon:  Is this roundel better? |
