Pirate crews were usually about double what you would find on a standard ship.

That is not reflected in the game.

Also if you consider men like Morgan were Buccaneers and more pirate than privateer you may also note that they captured cities, islands, and sacked Panama.

They had cavalry.

In fact they were the first to use the flintlock in battle.

They may have been a rabble but they were efficient at killing.

Had they been organized and worked together it would not have been an easy task to get rid of them.

As it was they were hard enough.

Oh! And the most I ever made out of prize money from a single sea battle was just short of 16000.
