Is there a bonus in blockading a port city when it is under siege?

I suspect there is, but it isn't shown in game.

Also, What do the numbers mean in the siege window? I'm talking about the numbers in the round circles usually reading -1 or 5 or something like that.

Read about it in the Game Engine in depth part of my FAQ
