In the "Turning Off Pirates" post, a lot of people said "just make a map with no pirates" or "just use one of the scenarios that has no pirates."
Fair enough.
I don't really want to make a map, I bought the game to play it, not mod it. I can't tell from the scenario list which maps have pirates and which don't... maybe someone with more experience can run down the list and let us pirate-haters know which scenarios to avoid?
