This is not about a simple majority. If it was, then the ninjas would easily win. Then, by defintion, they would automatically lose, since a lone hero can easily overtake a group of ninjas, while a shipful of pirate can defite a shipful of heroic british commanders.
Sid Meier never made a game about ninjas. 'Nuff said.
Pirates have a flag with a skull on it. Flags are kewl. Skulls are kewl. Ninjas don’t have a flag; or if they do, it’s prolly hidden in the shadows or a secret or something lame like that.
If he did, would you even know about it?
