[1.5.1 Ru/En/Cn] Dynamic Pirate Threat

🎌 Mod for version 1.5.1
🌐 Supports Russian, English and Chinese languages.

⚓ Description ⚓

I always liked the pirate threat escalation system, but once it reaches level 5, that's it—no more influence from the player. Pirates become a static annoyance at sea, a cheap irritant you can easily ignore. We keep sinking and plundering them, getting frustrated, but it doesn’t feel like it really changes anything. If only our actions could truly affect the pirate menace…

Want to see pirate fleets made up of 12–15 luggers and barques (when they're weak, they try to win with numbers) going up against your man-o-war? Or pirates attacking a well-armed Spanish war fleet with 4–5 brigs and brigantines? Or perhaps you want to pull Momento out of port authority and test its mettle against worthy opponents? Maybe you just want your actions at sea to matter a bit more, outside of quests and storylines? Then this mod is for you.

This mod overhauls the pirate threat level system. Now, it’s no longer tied to the main character’s rank.
The rise in pirate threat level depends on the passage of time in the game. BUT the mod also implements a system for lowering the threat level—down to level 1. It’s simple and logical: if the player keeps sinking pirates, the pirates’ mighty ships become less common, and the threat level drops. Let the pirates run wild or ignore them, and they’ll rearm, hire more cutthroats, and start stirring up trouble again, driving the threat back up to 5.
And now it makes sense to hand over pirates to governors, because every hanged man who gets a hemp tie will also count towards reducing the threat level. 🏴‍☠️

📌The tavern keeper can give you hints about how much time is left until the next period and how well you are doing with reducing the threat level.

📌A sample chart of timeframes and required number of pirate ships sunk can be found in the screenshots.

📌Via mode_menu you can limit the maximum number of pirate ships in encounters to 7 or 12 (the limit is disabled by default).

⚠️ Requirements & Compatibility ⚠️

A new game is not required (the mod works with your current pirate threat level, the first period is determined by the current level)
The mod can be removed without harming your saves (the threat level and encounters will revert to their pre-mod values)
