New Horizon Mod Proposal - Howto : Top Ten Pirate and Treasure List

Hi

For all of you that have played SID Meiers Pirates! now what I refer to here.

The main reason and motivation for a lot of players in "SID Meiers Pirates!" was to
kill the top TEN pirates and get there treasures.

Proposal 1 Mod Top Ten Pirate:
=======================
What need to be done in POTC - New Horizons to enable:
- Top ten pirate list to be killed as listed in "SID Meiers Pirates!"

Proposal 2 Mod Top Ten Pirate Treasures:
==============================
- Top ten pirate treasure list / booty - If you kill the pirate you get the treasure but one also
be able to "loot" /steal the treasure of one or more Top Ten Pirates

To enable this how one request this feature to be added to New Horizons to be on development team backlog to add this as a nice new feature?

Is this easy to do - I mean are there ".c/.h" files to rename certain resources to make this work? If so which files? Are there any files contain list of "pirates" that are used in the story line that one will encounter to engage and fight? If so then these list can be used to be tweaked do enable the above?

@Bartolomeu o Portugues once had an idea for adding "rival pirates" to the game.
There are many ways it could be done.
Wouldn't be a five-minute job though...

We do have findable treasures in the game; but they're completely random.
Not linked to any pirates.

There are ".c/.h" files to edit for that.
But no such system like you describe is currently anywhere in there.
Would require a fair bit of programming.

In the last quest I made, you can still find Bartolomeu (At least his corpse xD) And afterwards a "special item":treasure:

In my storylines, Bartolomeu or Elting met some famous pirates.
The easiest solution would be to put randomly off the islands their ships. You could sink or seize the ships and kill them in a fight. Afterwards, the code used for the random findable treasures could be also used for their treasures.
 
Please list for me what I need to change to enable the above suggestions?

As a step1: randomly let the Top pirates ships appear close to an island or close where one sail on the sea
As a step2: Have a list of notorious pirates and their ships to spawn to enable step1.
As a steo3: Notification system to support to inform the player - on the screen ?
As a step4: Enable strength applicable to the notorious pirate according the skill level of the player (Easy, Medium, Hard, Expert, Impossible)

As a step5: Let the one of the notorious appear in a tavern?

Keep track which notorious pirate was killed and which one still to go for?

Which files one has the change to enable the above?
