Question about attacking an enemy fleet blockading my port.

Well, if they're holed up in port, you can't just sail in there can you?

But there aren't any defenses from the land side of a port, so it makes sense.

I know that, it's logical but it seems silly making you take like one unit of militia from the nearest city to go to the port then marching back after the battle. They might as well have streamlined it and just said that if you attack the blockading fleet they're forced out of port by some angry fishermen's wives or something.

I don't see how that is silly, you could have just stuck that unit in the port in the first place, and it wouldn't be a problem.

Are you saying your outside the port blockading or did enter into the port. if you are outside like you said then you should not need a land unit to start the naval battle, if you still do it's a bug for sure.

On a related note, if a nation parks their ship in your trading lane and it's flag flashes its national flag and a pirate flag, is attacking that ship considered an act of war? Or since they are essentially being pirates (or privateering) that removes their protection afforded to them by their nation.
