So I've been playing through a campaign with the Moors and I've been noticing tons of pirate ships spawning and sailed one of my little dhows into a place that was thick with them. Thought he was done for, but they didn't attack. I was kinda mystified and just left him there for a few turns and watched the pirate ships sail around him and the English ships attack the pirate ships. Have I run into a bug here or do they just not attack? :o
Reason I ask here is I seem to remember hearing something a long time ago about how pirates never actually attack in Medieval 2.
