rules question

[sevensterre]

Am I right the minors can build yellow anywhere on the map and only
upgrade in the eastern settled zone. A friend that we played with
thought the rules were saying that the minor's were completly
resticted in builds to the eastern settled zone.

We had the same question come up at GenCon. If you pay attention to
the locations of the commas in the 0.4.7 rules, it's clear that the
Grangers can build yellow anywhere on the map. Take a look at the new
0.4.9 rules, I think it's much clearer there:

"A Granger Road may place a single yellow tile or upgrade one yellow
tile to green. A Granger Road may only upgrade a tile in the Eastern
Settled Zone."

Your friend is correct.

[David G.D. Hecht]

Alas, I appear to have erred in my "clarification". The actual answer is
that the Grangers can only build or upgrade in the Eastern Settled Zone.

[David G.D. Hecht]

I'll tell you how I created this problem: in the last non-public version,
the Grangers could only lay yellow track in the ESZ, and not upgrade at all.
Obviously when I changed the language to reinstate green upgrades for them,
I wasn't careful enough in making sure the syntax was clear...
