Why are my gates open when seige battles commence?

Whenever barbarians besiege my settlements and then commence a battle, my settlement gates are always open. Why is does that happen? I'm sure that there are no enemy spies in my settlements. Is this a part of the game?

What faction are you? Not sure why this happens to you ..very strange...send me the saved game ok.. Are you setting up or possibly accidently directing troops out your gates?

Either you have troops accidentally ordered out the gates or, most likely...even though you are sure you dont have any...that you have a spy who has managed to open the gates. Cant think of anything else.

If ALL settlement gates are open,then it is a spy. What you need to do to test,is use custom battle,defend a city and use same enemy to attack you and see if bug or not???? The spy thing is random,so hard to test,but custom fight same same enemy best bet-try in settlement OK. Before battle in your campaign,look for an enemy spy heading your way??
