Short summary of your issue
Port loss ends in market collapse

Game Version
1.0.4

What OS are you playing on?
Windows

Do you have mods enabled?
No

Have you tried verifying your game files?
Yes

How much "pain" is this causing you?
10

Please explain the issue you experienced in the most condensed way possible
I'm playing as a little island country (jan mayen) being protectorate of russia, so I'm in the russian market. After a puppet-war with russia, I found my market access down to 0 %. First I thought it's convoy raiding while the war and would heal itself, but it didn't. I finally found out that for some reason, many convoys within the market suddenly or cascadingly disappeared.

For some reason, mexico and russia deleted all their ports or got their ports deleted and the left overs downgraded, crippling the whole market severly.

This in turn harmed all other participants in the market without direct land access - as I said, my market access went down to zero.

I guess this is something to think about balancing wise. Right now, this is basically game over:
- Leaving the market is not easily possible, as protectorate for example
- There are actually enough convoys in *my* country to support *my* country against the market, this should be a factor to consider
- This can barely be solved without tag switch, the KI didn't seem to build ports, even after some months / years

Please explain how to reproduce the issue


Is there anything else you think could help us identify/replicate the issue?
I have attached multiple screenshots and two save games showing the situation before and after the severing of the market. Hope it makes it more clear.

I have attached a save game
Yes

Yes, something weird happens usually somewhere in the late 1800s that the AI suddenly decides it doesn't need any ports in the home country and deletes all but 1.
I've seen Russia, France, Spain, and Britain, all with only 1 port and then if something happens to that province they can lose even that and don't seem inclined to build a new one. (In France's case they had 1 port in construction but pause their construction queue forever?)

There are already several posts about missing ports. The AI removes ports and doesn’t build them. Somehow the AI doesn’t care a lot about market access. There is also an issue where states have very low market access because of missing infrastructure and the AI doesn’t do anything to solve it.

Hello and thank you for the report!

The issue has already been added to our database, and we are currently investigating this strange case of AI port allergies.
