Surprising how long the gender issue went on. Suffice it to say that most of the counter point has been historical accuracy - which of course POTCO has nearly NO basis in. It is after all, a fantasy. In fact, a good argument is that the game promotes the idea of strong, independent women who can function at buccaneers. Should the same apply to those women who purse the darker side?

So, keeping that in mind, there should also be no issue creating native tribes of warriors to fight. Anyone notice that most of the actors playing the Caribbean natives were polynesian, asian, phillipino, etc. etc. etc. So, there's little, if any real world to try and be holden to. As for as correctness - the Code would still hold for them (No Guns). IN FACT - in the Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End video game for PS - you fight on Pelegosto and some of the warriors are women. So Disney had no issue with either already.

But, for the bulk of this discussion - there is definitely room for:

More Royal Navy ranks (maybe even special agents who use voodoo)
EITC agents
Other pirates
Native tribes
Myriads of creatures.

As for bosses, they need to bump the aggression level back up a little - so enemies around a boss will come and attack you too. That should be the idea, that the boss is not only the toughest but has others to protect themselves.
