Pirate Republics

[Lightsong]

Pirate Republics are spawning in the Caribbean, which I control the majority of trade, even though there is ZERO privateering occuring. It's really annoying, because as SOON as they spawn they're raiding costs before I can protect against pirates. Anyway, why are pirate republic spawning if the conditions aren't even being met?

[tavald.musashi]

They are being met by other nations colonies.

[Lightsong]

They're spawning out of my land. I should have specified that

doesnt matter if any nation does privateering in the caribbean the conditions are met, it doesn't have to be the owner of the affected provinces

The only conditions towards the owners are that they have to have more than 1 province and in case of tortuga it has to be a protestant or reformed nation.

Even though there is no privateering being done? I did read online that there are set historical pirate republic events. Is this what's happening. Sorry, since it's the newest stuff, there isn't much online

New Providence

	title = "pirates.2.t"
	picture = CARIBBEAN_PIRATE_FORT_eventPicture
	desc = "pirates.2.d"
	
	fire_only_once = yes
	
	trigger = {
		has_dlc = "Golden Century"
		NOT = { exists = NSS }
		has_global_flag = golden_age_of_piracy
		OR = {
			AND = {
				owns_core_province = 482
				is_subject = no
				num_of_cities = 2
			}
			any_subject_country = {
				owns_core_province = 482
				num_of_cities = 2
			}
		}
		OR = {
			482 = {
				recent_treasure_ship_passage = yes
			}
			482 = {
				privateer_power = { share = 5 }
			}
			any_country = {
				capital_scope = {
					region = carribeans_region
					war_exhaustion = 5
				}
			}
		}
	}

As you can see it requires either as I stated a nation owning the province of Bahamas AND atleast 1 more (so they don't cease to exist)
On top of that it requires EITHER
1. A treasure fleet from Mexico that has passed by on it's way to Europe
2. Someone privateering with atleast 5 in power
3. A caribbean nation with at least 5 WE



Port Royal

# Port Royal
country_event = {
	id = pirates.6
	title = "pirates.6.t"
	picture = PIRATE_CAPTAINS_eventPicture
	desc = "pirates.6.d"
	
	fire_only_once = yes
	
	trigger = {
		has_dlc = "Golden Century"
		NOT = { exists = PRY }
		has_global_flag = golden_age_of_piracy
		OR = {
			AND = {
				owns_core_province = 487
				is_subject = no
				num_of_cities = 2
			}
			any_subject_country = {
				owns_core_province = 487
				num_of_cities = 2
			}
		}
		487 = { # must be privateering in node
			privateer_power = { 
				country = ROOT
				share = 5 
			}
		}
		OR = {
			487 = {
				recent_treasure_ship_passage = yes
			}
			487 = {
				trade_share = {
					country = ROOT
					share = 10
				}
			}
			any_country = {
				capital_scope = {
					region = carribeans_region
					war_exhaustion = 5
				}
			}
		}
	}

Requirements are similar to New Providence however this one requires the nation holding Jamaica to have atleast 5 power in privateering as well as either
1. Treasure fleet
2. Trade at 10% (I am guessing here but trade share 10 would be 10% share of the local trade node, Caribbean imo.)
3. Caribbean nation with 5 WE




Tortuga

# Tortuga - Brethren of the Coast
country_event = {
	id = pirates.7
	title = "pirates.7.t"
	picture = PIRATE_CAPTAINS_eventPicture
	desc = "pirates.7.d"
	
	fire_only_once = yes
	
	trigger = {
		has_dlc = "Golden Century"
		NOT = { exists = TOR }
		489 = {
			OR = {
				religion = protestant
				religion = anglican
				religion = reformed
			}
		}
		has_global_flag = golden_age_of_piracy
		OR = {
			AND = {
				owns_core_province = 489
				is_subject = no
				num_of_cities = 2
			}
			any_subject_country = {
				owns_core_province = 489
				num_of_cities = 2
			}
		}
		OR = {
			489 = {
				recent_treasure_ship_passage = yes
			}
			489 = {
				privateer_power = { share = 1 }
			}
			any_country = {
				capital_scope = {
					region = carribeans_region
					war_exhaustion = 5
				}
			}
		}
	}

Similar to the others but requires the province of Tortuga to be either reformed or protestant
