:arrow_forward: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

:question: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). Limit to ONE issue per thread.

Here is the problem I’m experiencing…

When selecting a group of walls, and then withing the group selection, selecting a full wall (that would be able to have a gate built into it) and building a gate makes it so all selected walls, no matter the size, become gates.

I am aware that this “issue” has existed in the original game

This is not a bug , it’s how it is since always . U will find the same phenomenon in aoe3 tad , or Nilla . This feature been there since the game first came . And I don’t think it needed to be change , as it makes players life easy . It was and it is and it should be part of game like the way it is

I am aware that this has existed since the original version, however, it clearly wasn’t intentional game design. I get what you mean about the quality of life improvement, but it really just defeats any concept of a “wall” and rather becomes something of an allied forcefield.

Whatever ur argument is , but I don’t see any negative in chabging every segment in gate , u could just make proper walll segment , delete pillars and make everything gate , what most players do . U could do same without so much hastle by selecting everything and make gates , it will cost little more wood tho. But it save players pain to make proper segments and dekte pillars .
