Not a glitch, it's just a trick how you put your citizens.

Don't cry, deal with it.

[Ghost]

It's just micromanagement. We do it all the time to override citizen AI (i.e. manually drop resources before they get to 15/15 or prioritize the building of a specific wall piece). This is the same thing, except instead of letting the AI spread the 6 citizens out over 2 sides, we force them onto one side.

It's kinda gay anyway, spesually in p2s. I mean if u orginially think each mine need 1 settle 1 tower, then the only thing u need for complete minewall is 1 house. And in p2s if u minewall 2 iron 2 forage 1 stone there is pretty much only ur hunt and some woodcutters left to kill. Ye its a part of the game, and i dont like rules.. but coman!

prophets, rockthrowers and sampsons will deal with it.

and even if you make 1 rockthrower or 1 priest, you can fuck up a complete mine.

Prophets arent really a problem cuz of temple(s).
Rockthrowers will get outranged by towers, same goes for priests.
Since the minewaller's base are fully protected, he will be more agressive making it harder for u to even get to stone..

[lightnessking.]

with 1 rockthrower you can outmicro 1 or 2 towers, and you can get his citizens of the work.

[Arntzen]

tru, then again this is the only thing u can do. Annoy ur enemie.

[lightnessking.]

i was talking about 1 rockthrower, you can try 10 rockthrowers too and have 1 rock microing the tower, and 9 rocks killing the citizens.

[Arntzen]

If u invest in 10 rockthrowers, u might kill 1-2 citz or force an TC on ur enemie. BUT u will loose those rockthrowers, and chances are he will either del the house and run citz away or ur rockthrow-micro will fail.

Ever heard of hit and run?

Strike the citizens, run back. Even if he dels the house you should have clubman. And if he forces a TC in early stage of the game that'll only fuck up himself.

[Arntzen]

He will have more clubmen, because of more iron then u since ur getting gold, more food than u cuz ur spending it on rockthrowers and he should be able to just run over ur army rockthrowers with no problem.

[lightnessking.]

Then you can try tower him since he's wasting stone and wood on his minewalling.

[Arntzen]

no.
The problem with this, is u arent wasteing anything. Maybe a house or 2 but thats it.

[Eisregen]

just dont play pre!
in all other sets mine walling didnt work realy...
