Pirate Question

[pabraham]

Do pirates reduce the trade income of every area that touches the sea zone they are in, or only those areas that have ports in their sea zone?

ie., my colony in the Caribbean borders three sea zones, but its port is in the leeward islands zone. Will pirates in any of the 3 sea zones affect my trade revenue, or only pirates in the leeward islands?

In my experience pirates affect any province with coasts bordering on the seas that the pirate is in. So even if your port wasn't on the same sea as the pirates, it would still affect your income.
