Uh-oh. I'm missing something. At the risk of looking foolish i must ask: what's with the gaps on either side of the gate? Doesn't it defeat the purpose of the gate? If you just fill it in with walls, won't it just look like a normal gate?
There's definately something i don't see right... i wish to see.
Please.

Ummm...mind telling us how you make that? Let me guess: it involes map copying houses onto the posts and removing them with triggers?
You want fries with that?

Sorry to disappoint you, but this trick's been discovered a loonnggg time ago.
We used to do it by slowly surrounding the gate with water until the water removes the two sides of the gate, then we fill the water in with grass or whatever.

FAFAIK, they do. I tried removing the posts in-game, but that crashed my PC.

Posts will come back when you start the game, its easy to get this in the editor but not once you start the game. Go ahead try it if you don't think so.
That is an in game view.
Sure houses could work kestrel maybe......
Its done with triggers of course but you must do work on the gate before you do it.
You managed to remove them in-game without crashes? That's interesting.

I *think* I found your way.
First, I map-copy the gate. Then I overlap one of the two posts with a map-copied gate. Afterwards, I paste another gate, but one squre INTO the gate. I do the same with the other side. Afterwards, I remove all the extra gates and viola! There's the *skinny* gate.

No cliffs, no houses, removing the units in the area causes a CRASH! Damn, HOW DID YOU DO THAT?!

I've reason to believe that this this was a photoshop work. Outlines around farms are only there in the editor, and that farm isn't selected. Explanation, please?

That farm was selected just before taking the screenie. Then theirs a change ownership which turns it green and I selected again.
Really kestrel this is getting annoying, you seem to like trashing everything I do now.
"Waits for more of kestrel's words"
In any event send me an email and I will show you!.I am actuely surprised at how nice you are being since you came back.
Try this for your amusment if you have the 1.0 a version put a farm down then put a cliff down over it rotate the cliff so it has just the white line remaining then start the game.
Oh BTW you do this trick by using the buggy walk through gate!
I apologize if I came down on you to hard kestrel late here. Now I am off to play in the hallucinations
"(...)put a farm down then put a cliff down over it rotate the cliff so it has just the white line remaining then start the game."
[stricken with utter disbelief] You mean you can rotate cliffs??? I'm gonna shoot myself. (in my 2nd left hand, of course)[/stricken with disbelief]
Here i was arguing with the mouse to get my cliffs to face the right way sometimes.
Live, read and learn.

Jawn Henry, if a cliff is rotated, it "disappears" and creates an invisible barrier.
