Empire Earth

Gates are a special type of wall that, when unlocked, will open for you and your allies, but
not for your enemies.  Gates can only be put into an existing section of wall, and the wall
must be straight.  To make a gate, simply click on a constructed wall and click the Gate but-
ton.  Green parts of the wall indicate where you can place a gate (if no part of the wall is
green, it means you can’t make a gate in this wall).  Move the mouse pointer over a green
section of wall and a “ghost” gate appears.  Then just move the ghost along the wall and
click wherever you want to place the gate. 

Any building, including a wall, that sustains damage can be repaired back to full strength.
Note that repairs cost your civilisation resources based on how much damage needs to be
repaired.  To repair a damaged building, select a Citizen and then simply right-click on the
building you want the Citizen to repair.

Your Town Centres and Capitals must have Citizens in them to keep them running smoothly.
In order to upgrade a Settlement into a Town Centre (or a Town Centre into a Capital) you
must populate the building with permanent workers.  To accomplish this, select one or more
Citizens and then click the Populate Action button.  The mouse pointer turns into a hand icon
(clicking the Cancel Action button restores the normal pointer and cancels the action).  Then,
click or right-click on the building that you wish to populate.  Once the building is staffed
with the appropriate number of Citizens, it upgrades automatically.

As a side benefit, each Citizen working inside a Settlement, Town Centre, or Capital increas-
es the productivity of Citizens who drop off resources there.  In other words, you get a gath-
ering bonus when you drop off resources at a populated building.  The bonus applies only to
stone, gold, and iron, and the drop-off building must be close enough to the resource site to
get the bonus.  The size of the bonus is based on how many Citizens are working inside the
building.  You can also populate Granaries.

NOTE: You do not use Citizens to construct a gate, but you must have at least 
five (5) segments of straight wall in a row to put in a gate.  Note that con-

structing a gate does not cost any additional resources.

NOTE: Walls segments, like buildings, cannot be constructed on top of other 
objects (except other walls) or in an area you have not yet explored.  Unlike

buildings, walls can be constructed on sloping terrain (but not cliffs).  Additionally,
any portion of a wall that can be built will be built.  Segments that appeared red
under the ghost wall are skipped over and not constructed, but all the segments that
appeared green are built by your Citizens.
