Can control fields be formed with more than three portals?
My local area has more active players on the enemy team, so we have to take what we can get. After a recent attack, several of our key links broke, and the enemy owns many portals but hasn't started linking them yet. The outer links that once formed our control fields remain, though, all but one. If I relink that one to form an enclosed area again, will that become a control field?
To clarify, portals A and B are linked, B and C are linked, C and D are linked, and D and E are linked; and A through E roughly describe a circle. If I link E to A in order to close the circle, will the circle become a control field?
Portals B through D are a long way out of my way, and re-forming the interior links would be very difficult on my tight holiday time schedule.

Don't forget using the fields to form layers! If you layer it up you'll have a strong protection for the inner portal control. Around here we've battled back and forth, and at one point there was a nine layer "cake" of fields that the opposing faction let stand for a few days due to the complexity of trying to take the network down.

How to create Control Field ingress?
To create a Control Field \u0394, three Portals must be linked in a triangle. The three Portals used are often called Anchors. Portals inside the Control Field \u0394 can only be linked from Portals that are used for the anchors.Gregory Porter performs It's Probably Me at the Polar Music Prize Ceremony 2017
