Can someone tell me what the tech levels for rebel scum and pirates are? I notice pirates increase in tech throughout the game, and I was wondering how they do it. Also, rebel scum seem to never increase in technology, but I'll be damned if they can take 45,000 infantry, 3 cannon, and sack a medium fortress within 6 months. Then in the late 1700's, they will have the minumum force to lay siege to my beautiful level 6 fortresses, and will bring them down in a year, with barely 10 cannon in the army. Maybe I should hire them instead of my own armies, since i have to stack 300-600 cannon in a province to crush the garrison some time this decade!
