pirates dead at the start of the game

I tried a game to see if the new diplomacy patch made any difference. I start a single player random game on a med/large map.

after playing awhile I realized that the 1st pirate betting/raid had never happened. clicking on the pirates it showed that they were 'dead'. I sent a ship to their base and it was active with 30+ ships.

has this happened to anyone else?

you must have selected "Pirates Inactive" in the game options screen.  Set them to active again and they'll start sending out raids.

as for their base, if its in the game map then the pirates will always be there

"Pirates Active" must be set for them to send out raids
