No, not that gate, the gate to the city! :smallbiggrin:

Look here (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0413.html) and here (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0422.html):

The gate to the center is offset by one tower to the castle, right where the "Death to Humans" graffiti is painted.

Maybe the other gate stole it...

Wait, what gate?

Meh. They couldn't get a cleric to it in time.

3 options:

1) It's misinformation. If the enemy happens to be scrying in on your battle plans, he'll misplace his own troops cause your gate is one tower further to the left/right.

2) There's a big illusion cast over the actual gate, so it looks to be to the left/right for everyone on the outside who hasn't been invited.

3) A wizard did it.

OR, it could be a slightly different viewpoint - :xykon: meh, perspective

OR, *speaking in artificially-hushed voice* "Azure City's regular gate has been replaced by a wall, let's see what happens"

... they dumped rocks on it... see that huge pile of rocks where the gate used to be?

Speculation: one of the effects of Cloister is to cloak all entrances and exits. What good is a spell that takes the city off the map if it leaves the front door wide open?

OR: Ty Pennington and company stopped by and re-arranged the entire layout of AC to better fit the access needs of Goblinoid sub-types.

Gate? What gate?

Hmm... Let's see... The only thing in this picture that we know for certain is the position of the big breach.

In Comic 426, you can see that the gate is 2 towers down from the breach in the wall. So the gate isn't supposed to show up in the shot.

Of course, that leaves us the question of what happened to the small breach on the next wall... But it's probably better not to notice this stuff.

They couldn't even get the right types of models for the display, so I don't have much faith in its accuracy.

Given the time frame, they hobgoblins could have just done some architectual modifications and taken out the gate. Highly unlikely, but if so, I'm the first one to say it!:smallbiggrin:

I doubt it, because of the "epic clouds" can overcome its scrying affect, I probably think we could see the gate.

I believe the gate is located just off the screen, below the words.

Viewpoint idea is good. I bet thats what it is. The Giant is probably just messing with our minds and is laughing as we type.
