Hi,

With one scout and a hero I tried scouting an inactive player. The scout was successful and he had almost 100k scouts and other troops as well.

So I assumed his gates were closed.

I then sent 1k warr to colonise him, I was defeated and I lost my hero. I don't get it. Does this mean gates were opened, and he is in fact, active??

I tried scouting him again with a single scout, and same result as the first time.

What's going on here??

Ty!
