Pirate Republic Government form

Canute VII · 2018-07-08T09:22:36+00:00

{New and updated content, old suggestion to be found further down the thread} Maybe the Name of this Government type can be modified, depending on in which super-region its capital is: e.g. "Pirate Republic" for the Americas, "Wokou Federation" for China/the Far East, "Orang laut" for the East Indies, ... Government modifiers for "Pirate Federations" ▪+10% naval moral ▪+10% capture ship chance (or -10% naval maintenance) ▪may raid coasts (Optional: a migration mechanic similar to native councils would be cool, since it would fit wokou/orang laut) The rise and fall of these Federations will ride on how well they are able to win over the buccaneers and seamen of the region who are fickle to the successes and failures of the Federation. By winning (naval) battles and trade wars, a Pirate Federation is able to increase their Naval Allegiance which will in turn grant stronger bonuses for the country. Conversely, losing battles and trade wars is a fast track to losing their support and bonuses. Naval Allegiance itself will grant no bonuses at zero, but up to +33% privateering efficiency and +10% sailor recovery speed as it grows. It will degrade over time relative to your development (degrades at a higher rate than for tribal federations, though). Additionally, it can be spent to gain immediate assistance, with each action costing 30 Allegiance. : Enlist dissatisfied/deserted officers: Gain Admiral with 40 Tradition Enforce pirate code: Get +15% light ship Combat Ability for 10 years. Capture merchant vessels: Start production of 6 light ships in the capital at 25% build time. As the "may raid coasts" ability this government type grants can only be used agaist other religions, the pirates of the carribean - should they arise - may struggle to find applicable targets (elsewhere in the world pirates will likely have an easier time). Thus they could have a decision to adopt a "secular" state religion (e.g. "atheist") which would be a new and separate religious group (without any new mechanics, though). Having adopted this new state religion, a carribean pirate republic then could raid coast on everyone else in the carribean - for the cost of being alone in its group and having no religious mechanics.

I would love to see something more fun with Pirates than just our Privateer mechanic. I'm listening to the AC4 Black Flag's sea shanties as we speak actually...

Pirates are cool! Okay....

Though for a game like EU4, fitting in a state like that is going to be hard while keeping it fun. Plus it is such a small part of the game it would be hard pressed to find motivation to put the resources in to create entire new systems for it.
