Open/close gates

[Cocojubee]

Would like to see:
Close gates: loose all resources and army doesn't fight.
Open gates: army fights.

Well, your city would be conquered easily if your troops refuse to fight.

[Fire820]

I would just close my gates for the clearing waves and open them for the scholar waves.

[Tooltip]

Ladders and stuff have been implied as standard equipment. I don't think they let the enemy stroll right on in as it is now.

[Fire820]

Still though. I'd love to see the look on my attacker's face when his/her clearing waves survive but all scholar waves die because I chose when I would fight

[Tooltip]

The resources are inside the city, and it's the attacking troops prerogative to kill / not kill. They are called attacking troops for a reason.

[Fire820]

Yeah. So in theory, the attacking troops should decide whether troops are killed or not. So I could decide to cap the city with no losses. And gates wouldn't work because of what I mentioned earlier. Not saying that this is a bad idea, just that it needs more thought and backups to prevent abuse like has been mentioned

[Logaliciouz]

Isn't this concept like dodging?

[Fire820]

I would guess so. So this idea isn't really necessary. No offense cocojubee

just send one scholar each from 5 different cities. 5 times more support will be available for each scholar. dodge that.
