Sanctuary - "Defeat and Victory" [Campaign 4 - Mission 2]

Hmm... guys, has anyone experienced this: the gate to the second town won't open. I captured the first town and am heading to the second: Hiroshi says I'm not the one to replace him, blah blah blah, and there are two gates there: both are closed...

Hiroshi has four towns. There's one near the village of Haedzing (where the Naga Priestess is), and to reach the second town, where the Kenshi hero is, you either have to go underground or travel along the surface to the town of Umiya (which was ours in the previous mission). Take Umiya and head south, capture the second town to open the gate, and voila! The gate is open.
