One of the new mechanics in the recent event Isomer is a gate that can be controlled from a control panel. If a unit, either enemy or friendly, is on the gate when you close it, they take damage. And you do not lose a turn controlling the doors. Players quickly abuse it to cheese the map by luring powerful enemies into the gate and squish. It's basically a meme.

Wow, reminds me of similar shenanigans with drawbridges in NetHack. Complete with taking no time to open and close repeatedly (though this has been fixed in the current version). The main drawback with doing this was that it destroyed any loot the victim may have been carrying.

Also Dwarven Atom Smashers in Dorf Fort.

I'm pretty sure it was intentional. They just didn't expect players would abuse it so much.

Does anyone know if this wall thing was an intentional gameplay mechanic or just a weird flaw that they never patched?
