I just finished a new map. I never add pirates. When I started the game, I found a pirate base. I saved, went back to the main menu, and cannot find the option for "No pirates." Has it been disabled?
Update: I found the option in the game menu. However, it's locked to "Rare." Why can't I choose "None?"
I always put pirates on 'none' but only because i can never remember where they are. If my memory was better i would say pirates are good to have, and i heard they slow the AI down more than the player which is good.... only because i can never remember where they are, that is the problem, so have to have them off.... if they changed this recently then not good 
Are you using any mods? There may be a mod where you cannot put it to none. By default I have it to none and I do not run any mods in my game.
You may need to verify game cache (or re-install) if you have installed any mods or XML edits.
I restarted the game. I had to click the map "off" in options. Then change pirates to "none." Then click the map back "on." Don't remember having to do that before, but at least it worked.
Thanks all.
