Where are Pirate Nations in Golden Century?

[JLHartsock]

I am seeing no pirate nations and am getting conflicting answers when I ask anyone. Did they not showcased unit models for Caribbean Pirates. But I don't see anything in that area. What gives?

[tonypa]

They do not exist at the start of the game. It is a decision a country may take:

"The decision to Hoist the Black Flag is available to monarchies and republics with less than 7 owned province, with all owned provinces being coastal and either on an island or in the Maghreb region. The country must also have 2 stability, no subjects, 10 privateer power in their home node, and not be bankrupt or at war."

There are events that could spawn the Carribean Pirates later on (once you start colonizing). They can also spawn in Morocco or Madagascar. Palembang gets an event to become Pirates very early, usually within the first monthly tick if you want to check them out. :)

You should have official crown or tag or something, so we can stop saying "EU4 developers never visit Steam forums". And, you know, forward all the annoying questions straight to you...

And how to start as New Providence to finish new achievement?

[Action Dawson]

Yeah I'm searching real hard for New Providence and I cant find it no matter what

[JLHartsock]

They need to make a video to better show how to form this stuff.

the achievement says that you need to "start" as New Providence, that's the problem here :(

It says "choose to play as New Providence" which is correct. There's an event where New Providence spawns/gains independence and one of the choices is to play as it.

This is true. I will ask for one :)

I'll forward your feedback to the designers that you guys want to know more about them and how they could spawn. I think it is good feedback and something we could do something about :)

New Providence should spawn in the Caribbean via an event, I can't remember exactly what is needed for them, but you need to be colonizing to get the event. (I am at home now, about to sign off for the night)
