1. Place a tile
The tiles are placed in accordance to the normal rules. The tiles depict the following new element:
Rat infestation
The tile has rats in the city and a skull-and-crossbones icon.
Drought
The tile has a dried and cracked piece of land and a crossed water-droplet icon.
2. Deploy a follower
Followers are deployed to the rat-infested city as a knight
per the usual rules. Followers may not be deployed
specifically to the drought area but may be deployed to
the farm surrounding the drought area as usual.
If a barn1 is played to a farm that has one or more drought
icons, or if a farm with a farmer is joined to a farm with a
barn and the resulting farm has a drought icon, farmers in
that farm score one point less per city prior to being
removed from play.
