Speaking as someone trying to run a military for a settlement that just got nation status, this is very true. Despite the raid cooldown being up until later today, Bandits often come when the gates are open and bait the cool down trying to instigate conflict with their presence or often times just outright villainy despite being reminded that there is to be no hostility on the tile. I wish it could be better, but some players try to game the rules and make gates necessary.

"God save Balian, our hard work and dedication have paid off." would state the Captain of Balian, then returning to go about his day.

✠ THE COMPANY OF BALIAN ✠ From the office of the Constable of Balian Year 20 since the founding of Balian To His Imperial Highness, The Grand Duke of Balian, John I It has come to my attention that a threat lies close to the heart of our Grand Duchy, the Great City of Altrus. After scouting done by our Sergeant Joseph Beckett and two members of the Lectorate, it has been discovered that a monster, called a Skin-stealing Automaton currently plagues the outskirts of our city. After discussing the severity of the threat that this poses to the population of Balian, As Captain of the Company and Constable, I seek immediate approval for swift action. His Excellency, Peter Benedict d’Arkent, Baron of Turin, Constable of Balian (This letter is delivered directly to Ave_Imperium do not metagame)

"Darius Sabari was the one finest Generals to grace the army, any well learned historian worth their salt would know that the Empress Lorena was saved by General Sabari in Operation Lady in the Hightower, which was published by the Imperial Government not long after her rescue. And perhaps someone should aid this 'historian' in their timeline as General DeNurem joined the Army long after the rescue of the Empress." would remark the Captain of Balian.
