need a manual control for the freaking gate

I'd like to be able to lock the gates like you could in MTW1. Any troops split out should just turn round and route.

They know you've abandoned them as you've shut the gates on them. If it was me I'd be doing my best to run away without being killed.

Yes, that really anoying not to be able to close the doors.
About the split units:
make the unit go just outside an other door. If they survive, they will meat a gain. Or whot?

Strangely enough that's precisely why James 4 lost the battle of Flodden, despite being in a superior position (on a hill).

His Captain of Artillery begged him to allow them to open fire on the English. He replied "No. We shall meet them on the open field with honour!" They were promptly slaughtered by the superior quality of the English Army. :dizzy2:

So console yourself with the fact it's historically accurate.... :yes:

Hey I learned history... that means I shouldn't be forced to repeat it!

Adding an option to lock the gates just like MTW1 would be logical.
