I don't think privateers make a huge difference so if some folks wants them I am happy to include them.

I have no string feeling for or against privateers. I am willing to play with them if that is what is asked for.

Thanks, where did you get this info from ?

Can I suggest that to speed things along everyone works on their setup ? You can start a game yourself with all the other countries as AI, when it comes to your setup put your troops out and save the setup to file. When we start the game for real you'll be able to import the setup file and tune your setup if you want. Should save a bit of time.
