Is it just me, or are pirates in vanilla RTW way too powerful? I understand that they should pose some sort of threat to the player, but their standard ship has more men than a bireme, and they regularly spawn in large packs with mutliple chevrons of experience for each ship. This allows them to destroy entire faction navies with barely any casualties, which I find to be somewhat annoying and unrealistic. Is there any way that I can mod the game to make pirates less powerful?
