I'll join you. My Xfire is the same as my forum name. I've played a few games solo, or with friends against computer opponents. None of us have tried playing against other people yet though.

Three fun things to do with pirates turned off: 1. Set game to no pirates. 2. Place bounty on a particularly annoying enemy to make him a more enticing target for other players. 3. Kill pirate base for achievement and special pirate base income. If you still cannot deal with the pirates sedentary existence then reinstall the game without the patch. Problem solved.
