Use the Ark from Ark of the Covenant...move it through the countryside...

Ha! That was the idea that got me thinking of the Knights Templar theme.

tied to the smoke eater tiles (blue/gray) cities already on BGG

Do you have a link for these?  I'm not sure I know what you are refering to.

Some other thematic ideas...

Grimms Fairy Tales (I know this has been done to some degree but not extensively)

Something using the other two pennants you created for chariot race that aren't alread the family fued pennants

I'm a big fan of fantasy so the additon of more fantasy elements/creatures is fun to me.  I love the dragon and fan made giant that is being developed.  Maybe other fantastic creatures?  Werewolves, demons, vampires, ghosts...

I'm just brainstorming...I love to see what the creative people on this site can come up with.

I could see harvesting Roc eggs in the mountains as a 'fantasy" idea

and still like bridge trolls taking thief tolls

That would be an interesting twist.  Maybe that can work with the giant expansion somehow.  It never has been written up finalized and has gone through multiple variations.

around the time of the renaissance, in middle europe there were many new innovations / scientific advances. military, agricultural, engineering and nautical. if the game started as normal and during the game some key moment or tile drawn err, and then an advance was made, different advances in different games i think might be better than the same ones in different orders, dunno. and then something was different?

like the tredmill crane was invented in 12.. something and it made city construction easier.

or the stirrup or high backed saddle made knights more effective / powerfull.

the plow and horse collar

pobably some road construction technique or other

no idea about monks, but there again religeon has had expansions recently anyway, nod n' wink.

Gun powder started making its way into Europe in the 1200's. That might affect thieves and/or knights.

What about Arabian Nights and the tales told by Sherherazade?  It might fit better with Ark of the covenant, though, being in the correct geographical location as opposed to France. 

Also, the Legend of the Templars could work very well, if tied in with the legend/backstory from The Da Vinci Code - the legends that the Holy Grail once made it to France. 

Or, you could do something involving the Crusades, such a tile (or something) that triggers an event that causes all knights to leave their incompleted cities to fight in the Crusades.

The guys in our group have recently discussed the idea of an expansion to counter the spread of the plague - something like a rat-catcher perhaps?? We've just not got the creative flair to actually make this into an actual expansion!
