I've done this before, actually!
First thing you wanna do (obvious as it is :p) is to get yourself a savegame you aren't gonna miss, then take a quick look at the faction relations for your world.
The rest is simple: using devtools, spawn raids/pawns of opposing factions, (can't remember the vanilla relations but pirates + ancients should be a safe bet!) and you're good to go, takes a bit of interaction but it's the closest ive gotten to hands-off combat.
p.s: Can't remember what it's called, but there's a devtool which directly spawns a small map of two opposing factions. It's not very grand or magnificent, more of a barroom brawl than a large-scale battle, but hey! if you're looking for something smaller, might be right up your alley. Hope you find what you're looking for!
