Pirates !

[Cat Lord]

Is there a mod somewhere which makes the Pirates playable ?

I know Prufrock451's AAR, but I know the game crashed after a while...

Any improvements since ?

Can't really play AS the Pirates. I mean you could make a country CALLED Pirates but you wouldn't really BE the Pirates.

Although Prufrock did manage to play for a while and theorized that the crashes were due to him owning terrain and BB enough to be attacked.

So (taking a cue from Alun's reformation mod) if you place Pirates nation in an inland seazone and dismantle random events (maybe not needed since Pirates likely get no events) then maybe they are playable for a while (but you should avoid placing pirates and owning land = boring?)

Good maybe for handsoff?

No, no, there are now 2 AARs played BEing the Pirates, and I was wondering if a mod was done to allow them not to crash.

Apparently not.

So the AAR goes on until the fatal crash (called "God's wrath for all this plunderin'" ).

There is no solution, besides keeping your head down and your BB low.

Don't go overboard on commissioning fleets. Stay out of the colonizing nations' way. uh... that's really about it. But that's also a recipe for one staggeringly boring pirate game.

I think that at least one of the AAR's modified the game such that they were playing as a U** tag, but with the Pirate flag and colours... i.e. nothing special.
