In order to open the Gate for the first time the "Gate" [science|ScienceDescription] has to be studied. \\
 \\
Gate opens 5 minutes and closes 6 hours.\\
Click the Gate to open or close it. After the Gate is open you will be able to launch [combat missions|Combat], [found|Colonisation] new cities and develop villages, though you can also undergo an attack. \\
 \\
Using the [Ancient Magic|BlackPearl] a Gate can be closed in 30 minutes. But if an attack against the city have been already launched the Ancient Magic can’t be used to close the Gate. \\
\\
__Closed Gate and Villages__\\
After a Gate is closed people leave villages and shelter behind the City Wall.\\
If the buildings in villages are neglected they begin to crumble in 4 days by a random margin – from one level of building damage to a total building collapse. \\
In 4 more days, if a [riot|Autodel] didn’t occur, another wave of buildings collapse happens. \\
