Pirate Attack Frequency

That setting isn't part of the map, but rather the core game. You can do it as a mod, just not on a per-map basis. The setting is in gameplay.constants:

firstWarningTime 900
  normalWarningTime 780
  minSendRaidTime 30
  maxSendRaidTime 90

Basically the first raid is 900 seconds into the game, then they start going at 780 seconds, and you get 30-90 seconds after the warning until the raid actually launches.

humm thanks, so you sure i couldn't stick those strings into a map and have it not explode the game.

Yep, pretty sure you can't do that

:)  I was looking at increasing the rate at which the Pirates launch too,   :)  But found with maps, i could create custom maps with lots of pirate bases, one i made had 12, haha, boy was i asking for it!!   :)  Anyway, i dont know if it would make them launch quicker, but it certainly gives you more bases to eliminate.  

You can try it if you like, but i'm not certain its what you want. But i thought i would offer it as an idea, if it helps.

I have made some custom maps wit over 40 pirate base, but no alteration of frequency or strength of pirate attacks, and as teal said it means you have more bases to clear

harpo

:)  Thank you for the nice words.

Annatar,

                  Cant you also increase the number of pirates that attack in the gameconstants file also?

I thought i saw it there, but i may be mistaken.

Yep. Look for pirateRaidDef.

Omg fox, stop answering muh questions!

Woof woof, there's a cow.

There are so many things wrong with that statement.

Ribbit.

It raises more questions than it could ever answer.
