Palisade Gate

The Palisade Gate is a fortification introduced in Age of Empires II HD: The Forgotten. Like the more advanced Gate, it acts as an entrance, automatically opening to let friendly units through but preventing enemy units from coming through. This allows units to move in and out of walled areas without leaving gaps. The Palisade Wall is weaker than the Gate, but also cheaper, and is available in the Dark Age, letting the player build defenses from the start of the game.

Palisade Gates can be built on existing Palisade Walls. Palisade Gates have more hitpoints than Palisade Walls, but their greater surface area makes them far more vulnerable as more units can attack them at once.

Note that, unlike in later games, enemy soldiers can pass through the gate if it opens for a friendly unit. Locking a gate will prevent this but will keep it shut at all times.
