Pirating and Pillaging

[stankarp]

My question is -

1)do you get a gold or public works bonus when you pirate a trade route or pillage a tile improvement? If so, how much.

2) Which files control these functions in the game?

Thanks in advance.

Yes. I have tested and the money from pirate is added in the next turn after the order. I did not achieve to get a value. It seems to have a random variable or a very complex system. But i did not tried very hard to discover i admit.
As for Pillage, you dont get nothing but if you want some months ago i did a slic code that gives 20% PW cost of the improvement to the pillager.

2) Which files control these functions in the game?

Other than the orders.txt that has very little effect in the gameplay there is the const.txt which has a lot of entries for piracy:

GOLD_FROM_PIRACY 30
NO_PIRACY_EXPIRES	5
PIRACY_KILLS_TRADER_CHANCE 80
PIRACY_WASTE_COEFFICIENT 0.8

But i believe these values are left-overs. Dont have effect in the game
Other than that I could find nothing if not the SLIC function:

PillageOrder(army_t)
PillageUnit(unit_t)
PirateOrder(army_t)
KillTradeRoute(GEA_TradeRoute, int_t)
CutImprovements(location_t)

Although i couldnt make some of these work in my testings.
