I fail to see the reasoning to only want a lvl 10 academy. The level 10 npc offers level 10 forge, workshop, rally spot, stable, relief station etc etc.

The academy is the last of the level 10 buildings I would want. What high end player uses a warehouse anyway? I haven't seen anyone worth plundering in a long time that even has a warehouse, so why do you want privateering so badly?

Also, by the time you'd research privateering, plundering other players sort of becomes useless. Build up some level 5 npc cities near you and you can plunder 450k gold and 3 million food from each one every 8 hours, no need to plunder other players. You save your army to "farm honor" or kill your enemies.
