Forums / Questions and Answers / Closed gates issue

as you can see i am barely touching this city and yet it says i cannot pass THROUGH it. how am i supposed to prep on it if i can't touch it?

Its a bit annoying however you just prep  a little further away from it. It gets easier with experience don't worry :)

An advantage to attacking a city with closed gates is that you can actually prep from slightly further away which can help in certain circumstances :P

You have to think of it this way:



Think of every town having a cube around it.
So you can attack the town where ever you stand on the red line.
Even in the area that I put yellow circles
Means you would appear as totally outside of the town, but still you prep...

Use Control+C I think that should do it, not too far or you will end up wasting another turn.
