I wonder if we see some "Pirate Nations"?

[Ottheinrich]

It would be nice to have some nations like the Maghreb nations in EU4, that have the coast raid abillity. So they could raid the coasts of the Mediterranean Sea for Gold and Slaves, but hurt their diplomatic relationships with the affected countries.

You mean Corsican and Sardinian pirate nations or Illyrian pirates or Cilician ones?
Why not, piracy existed during that era.

 

[Thure]

Should exist. Pirates were a big problem for early Rome as they tried to controll the Mediterranean sea.

 

[Will Steel]

Pirates should definitely be there. Not only were they a major nuisance until Rome became an empire (i.e. very late game), some pirates also plagued the maritime silk road and India-Persia-Egypt trade whenever there was strife.

welp, Vandals confirmed then

 

[Draky]

Good idea, but I hope they change the mechanics (or the UI).
The way it was done in eu iv was simply annoying.

And what about "land piracy" aswell? I'm thinking about the Mamertines in Sicily.
