City keeps healing under siege?

[srad]

Hi, I have one warrior and three archers around the enemy capital so only two tiles are 'free'. So I thought that this kind of positioning will prevent the city from healing but every turn it gets 20 health back.

Why?

I'm not sure archers have any zone of control whatsoever. So they may not be blocking the city.

It's also possible that there's a river in the way blocking your warrior's zone of control.

Ah ok, thanks! I' ll check if there is a river.

Any idea how I can see if archers have a zone of control?

Ranged units by default don't have zone of control. But you can get one with the lvl3 promotion.

Thanks! So some more warriors next time ;-)

You'll see a red icon if you've successfully sieged a city.
