closing gates

[jseyf26]

sorry if this can be answered elsewhere, but I am in need of a quick answer.
I'm currently in the middle of a battle against the Mongols, and there is also a CPU ally. Some of his troops routed into my city, leaving the gates open. Is there a way to close the gates so that the enemy doesn't just waltz in?

Thanks

Normally the gates only close if there are no men left anywhere near them. If there are any troops near the gate then try to get your AI partner to move them somehow. If all his troops have routed to the city centre then I don't know what's going on.

If there is a strange error then it is usually stuck that way even if you reload. Try reloading and turning off AI-controlled reinforcements, or just autoresolve.
