Trade Posts not being able to be seized

[wislesky]

I have a huge issue where as a patrician i cannot siege ports of other patricians with the special CB. The Emperor of Byzantium conquered a province with a port belonging to a different patrician since then theres a small byzantine flag stuck there on the top right of the trade post image forever and its not allowing me to siege it. What is this. I cannot find any info online

Not a tech support issue so moved to main forum. If the community agrees it's likely to be a bug, post in Bug Reports please.

Yeah. Sounds like it's working as intended to me - if they're no longer independent you may need to declare war on their top liege (i.e. The Emperor), as with any other vassal. Good luck with that.

Are you able to talk to the Emperor asking for him to allow an embargo? Because THAT request got spammed to me as Emperor of Scandinavia all the time from various Merchant Republics in my last game.

There is/was an issue where if a trade post was occupied during a war and the war ended, the trade post stayed occupied, but that would have the flag in the center.

Is the family that owns that trade post part of your merchant republic or a different one?

There are 6 reports of this issue in the bug report forum. One even has a developer response that it has been added to the tracker. Near as I can tell, it got added accidentally in either 3.0 or 3.0.1 since the first report was back in December. I remember it working before that.
