I wonder about the future of the Pirate Cities. With Europe so busy the pirate cities could turn into a pirate empire with a strong navy and be able to raid at will since that are so far away from retaliation.

As relations with Granada grew, so did relations with the North African countries and tribes. The enclave of Ceuta grew tremendously, and Granadan interests grew alongside it.

In the Indian Ocean Spanish warships attacked Port Ferdinand del Sur. Because the Aragonese were still getting set up in the Red Sea, they were very vulnerable to attack. Most of the town was burned, and the ships sunk. Ottoman Galleys arrived from the south during the attack, creating a layered battle, with Spain squashed in the middle of two opposing sides.
In India, several Spanish-controlled ports and cities are attacked systematically by Turkish galleys. Kemal Reis[2] is in charge of a particularly daring attack on the fortress on Socotra. The attack succeeds in crippling the Spanish taskforce in the northwest Indian.
