Income drop while a single city is besieged

[SchwarzerBonbon]

So when (roque?) armies besiege one of my cities, my income drops about 10k gold, while the city only shows a production of about 1k gold. It doesnt happen to all cities I think, only one special province.
Does somebody know the reason for this?

[Dubblit]

So that's why i sometimes go in - and then the next turn i get 5k+ never really figured why.

What buildings are in that city?

From what I understand, if your capitol is besieged, you also lose all trade income. Would that explain it?

Edit: Also, something similar may happen if the besieged city is your only port. Basically, trade income in TWW2 requires a connection from capitol to capitol, so if a siege interrupts that, you lose all the trade income.

@grakor: Ye that would explain it, I thought something like this as well. It is my "capital" province (the first province i conquered at least. Is there even something like a main capital anymore?), and it was a port (I have like 5 more ports, but it was the nearest to the next continent). But it was not the capital city of the province, if you mean that. So both things hold true, at least partially.

To be more specific about the location:
Skaven campaign - province southern jungles - settlement Dawn's light

Like I said, I have a lot of ports and even settlements on the other continent, f.e. The Capes - Citadel of Dusk. So not sure about the port thing.

If the besieged settlement is your only port on the continent that your capital is on, then that's the issue.

[SchwarzerBonbon]

It isnt. I control the whole continent. But maybe the system doesnt recognize the other ports if the "original" port is besieged. That's possible.

If the enemy besieges your capital then you lose alll your trade money.

[SchwarzerBonbon]

There is no more main capital of a race, at least I don't find one. Only province capitals. And they didnt besiege the province capital but a minor settlement with port. And like I said, I have plenty of ports to do trading with, it doesnt make any sense that it would cut my whole income

Strange, I lose lots of money whenever the ai sieges my first major city.

Yeah, you lose ALL trade income when first major city is sieged. It's crazy.
I lose 10-20k income whenever chaos appear out of nowhere to siege my major city.

"with a port" - My only explanation, and the most obvious one, is that a lot of your income is coming from trade. Why was this so hard for you to figure out?

EDIT: Also, that port was probably the one with a direct line to your capital.

[SchwarzerBonbon]

Ok forget what I wrote, I just found the fu cking symbol for my main capital. Mystery solved, you are right. I just didnt see it. Still a really strange mechanic cause units spawn out of nowhere and suddenly all your armies get attrition losses. Obviously its enough that one settlement in the province is besieged, it doesnt have to be the capital of that province. Thanks for the help

To be fair, he's literally always lucky. Things are hard when you get lucky a lot and then you dont.
