Hi there,
is there any file you can edit to get rid of the annoying pirates? Thank you

Go to C:\Program Files\Paradox Interactive\Europa Universalis - Rome\common and open static_modifiers.txt with Notepad. Use ctrl+F to find base_values and add a line saying pirate_spawn_chance = -1000. I think that should work.
Thanks, I tried it out and they still spawn very quickly. Maybe I wrote the line in the wrong section, this is how it looks like right now:
# Global Static Modifiers
##########################################################################
base_values = {
pirate_spawn_chance = -1000
omen_power = 1.0 #1.0 is base.
omen_chance = 0.30 #30% chance as base.
experience_decay = 0.03 #3% of current.
land_organisation = 0.2 #20% morale recovery.
naval_organisation = 0.2 #20% morale recovery.
max_friends = 2
max_rivals = 2
tribute_income_modifier = 0.5 #Base tribute modifier, 50%
badboy = -0.5 #reduce by about 0.5 each year
tyranny = -0.25 #reduce by about 0.25 each year
}

}
In the same vein of questioning would it be possible to change the number of pirates that can spawn, and perhaps give them leaders like the barb have?
As for your question, maybe there is something else that influences pirate spawn odds. I'll keep looking.

I think someone managed it by just removing PIR from the countries.txt file. But someone more acquainted with the Rome system should know for sure
That's weird. Your code looks correct, so I've no idea why it doesn't work. Try Patriot's solution.
Well, all the suggestions don't work. Anyone else got an indea? These pirates are really annoying!
that looks really ridiculous and not that practical. I don't want them at all!!! AAARRRRRRRG
Personally, I don't think it looks ridiculous. It extends your ability to see troop movements by two provinces, it eliminates random pirate spawns, and it only costs 10 per coastal province.
You don't have the law that increases pirate spawn chance, right? It's called Lex mercis libero, and I guess it will have an effect on your game even if your neighbours pass it. If I were you, I'd remove the line saying pirate_spawn_chance = 0.1.
