Do provinces which go rebel have a chance to go pirate, especially in the Caribbean? Having lots of pirates running loose would make it more interesting.

Spain is awkward to wipe out as they have many spread out regions in Europe, Spain (obviously), Lombardy (landlocked, you have to go through Genoa, Venice or Savoy) , Flanders, Corsica and Southern Italy.

All the islands in the Carribean will go pirate if the owning faction is destroyed (not sure about Cuba)...

Many Regions don't have an emergent faction (or are not pirate), they simply have "<Region name> Rebels" take over. The rebel troops are regional though which is a nice touch.


Playing Spain I wiped out the United Provinces with in one attack on their only region in Europe. Their out of theatre regions did as I stated above...
