Ok it seems to be the town entrances works a lot like it did in BoE, but for some reason I cannot get them to work. I set them and they just walk into the buildings and stop right there. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong.

I don't know what may be happening, but I have heard that there is a bug if you make the town entrances smaller than 3x3. I don't know if it is true.

It's not exactly a bug; it just doesn't quite work the way that one might expect. But I don't think that's what BSR is talking about.

You need to have an open space for the party to step into. Buildings are blocked spaces. Place a 3 by 3 square for a town entrance and put buildings on the corners and center only, making a picture that looks like this:

X O X
O X O
X O X

X's are spaces with buildings and O's are open grass spaces. That's the basic Avernum town entrance format (which you can vary depending on your needs).

Aha I see, I got people trying to run into buildings.
