Good morning, Lord Robster (at least on my side of the ocean), I'm not sure if either the official ES patch for the resign-problem or the one done by Junk (both you can find in the download section of this website) would really help you with your problem. It sounds like your comp-player has no villagers and no town center, from my experience this seems to be a more basic problem for the cp's "morals" than what Junk's modified ai-file for example is dealing with (I had the same difficulty a couple of times and found it pretty unpredictable under which circumstances it appears). I suppose it would help though if you give your "Pirate" some land army as well, as long as the cp has a certain amount of "mixed" units he won't resign so easily. I'm sure the ai is doing some calculations concerning the balance of its powers, that's why ships only can seem insufficient for the cp and cause it to resign.
To install the new ai of junk you unzip the file straight into your AoK-subfolder "AI", about the patch of ES I don't know yet, it might be self-installing, have to check it out.
Good luck for your design-attempts, anyway (we all need it with such an editor).
