(sorry for any grammar mistake)
i was reading the posts and ppl arguing that pirate historically cant make-sail 3rd 2nd 1st rates and cant take ports and that is very true
BUT
historically Victory is Brits ship other nation cant craft it only capture it *
Santimisima is Spanish other nations cant craft it only cap it *
coni is USA etc etc
etc
* historically speaking capturing a ship under a nation flag the ships belong to the nation not to the captain or admiral
historically speaking capturing a town requires a nations fleet power to do so this leaves that nations other ports more vulnerable
piracy happened because a lot of sailors where unemployed after the war was over so they needed a way to make money and cause of the war ending
nation was able to hunt pirates .... what if war never ended and pirate got so much power and big ships cause no one bothered them?a lot of pirates where exceptional
sailors navigators captains commander.And they had a common goal get wealthy .
if you want pirates to not have 3rd and above ships wich is historically accurate
then the nation cant capture ships and keep them ,they have to give them to the nation
here in the game that is still war pirate have gain a lot of power cause now one is bothering them ....lets say the game is another is a turn buck to 18th century where war is not over and the history is writen again. if you dont want pirate in you way go hunt them furiously and make the same history as in real life
