The Pirate King scenario in Tropico 6 challenges players to construct multiple Pirate Coves and steal two Great Wonders. This guide will provide a step-by-step approach to completing the scenario efficiently while maintaining a stable economy.

Step 1: Establishing Your Base

The first priority is to set up your island’s infrastructure and economy. Follow these steps:

1. Build One Pirate Cove
   • Select the recurring raid for sugar to keep your economy moving.
2. Construct Supporting Buildings
   • Library (to generate research points)
   • Rum Factory (to process sugar into a high-value product)
   • Three Newspapers (spread across the island, set to the Independent work mode for Revolutionary support)
3. Develop Resource Extraction
   • Build Teamster Ports on the gold-rich east end of the cove.
   • Construct two Gold Mines in each designated area.
   • Import Sugar to maintain Rum Factory production.
   • Build two Grocery Stores.
   • Establish one Corn Farm and one Banana Farm.
   • Construct two Coal Mines and two Iron Mines to keep funds flowing.

Step 2: Expanding Pirate Operations

Once your basic economy is set up, it’s time to expand your raiding operations:

1. Build Three Additional Pirate Coves
   • Second Pirate Cove: Assign to Rescue Raid (needed for an upcoming objective), then switch to looting sugar.
   • Third Pirate Cove: Raid your first Great Wonder, then switch to looting sugar.
   • Fourth Pirate Cove: Leave idle so workers continue generating raid points for other coves.

Step 3: Strengthening Defenses

Lord Windham will eventually attack, so prepare for battle:

1. Build a Fort
   • Set it to maximum budget.
2. Construct Two Guard Towers
   • Position them strategically to support defenses.
3. Set Up Lumber Production
   • Build three Logging Camps on the hill of the main island.
   • Construct a Lumber Mill.
   • Disable exporting planks to stockpile resources for later.

Once Lord Windham’s forces are defeated, the scenario moves into the next era.

Step 4: Transitioning to the Next Era

At this stage, rapid development is key:

1. Build Two Shipyards
   • Essential for boosting income via boat exports.
2. Construct a Commando Garrison
   • Necessary for raiding the second Great Wonder.
3. Prepare for the Great Wonder Raid Requirement
   • Import 1,000 cheese in advance.
   • This preemptively meets the usual “Get me Cigars” or “Get me Cheese” demand that appears before the raid can proceed.
4. Complete the Second Great Wonder Raid
   • Once completed, build the second wonder and focus on reaching the final money requirement to secure victory.

Final Steps: Securing Victory

Once both Great Wonders are secured, all that remains is accumulating enough money to meet the scenario’s final goal. Continue maximizing exports, maintain stability, and victory will be yours.
