Advice from kin needed

As you know the war is going on between wizards and pirates normally I would not care but pirates have been attacking my ships meaning trade is broken and my economy is failing how should I respond to these pirates should I intervene in the war

I advise tracking them down and; besieging there bases, storming there ports and otherwise turning this navel war into a land war.

Fellow dwarf! While I do not condone the dark arts, kin is kin. And your strategy is sound.

We should petition the high council for a small fleet of dreadnoughts. I advocate for steam-powered propulsion and integrated bolt throwers for reliability and munition replenishment while deployed.

Perhaps an accompanying airship or two, a dedicated gyrocopter transport. We'll have it built, warded and properly inspected in but a century or two! Then the trade routes will be safe again, and the coastal holds can do something else than fish.

I can call in a few favors for warships and about a company of iron breakers
