The current setting is:

category                        pirates
chance                                25
description                        pirates

It's currently set to 15 (I'm sure it was 20 in the original RTW though...). Basically, the higher the value, the lower the chances of bandits appearing. I halved the chances by increasing the value to 30. Ramp it up to 100 though and you'll practically never see them again.

im pretty sure you still get them quite a bit on 100. 100 is not the max you can put in. you can set it as high as 99999999999 or even more.

on the subject of navies, i really think they hinder the AI. they dont even dont use the navies they own for anything useful, but they still build a lot of them, which due to the very high upkeep costs, drains money away from doing more useful things, like funding elite armies (rather than full stacks of militia).
