Not a glitch, it's just a trick how you put your citizens.
Don't cry, deal with it.

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..

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

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.

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.

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.

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