Great mod i love it

@DJ Trump, no the ai is too limited for some reason.

Hey quick question, can other civilizations still not use the merchant ships to conduct missions or has that bug been fixed? I accidentally started a normal game with this mod on and I've been avoiding using the merchant ships to conduct missions since its super OP if the other civ's cant use it, but if they are using it and I'm not I don't want to be at a huge disadvantage. Thanks in advance!

This is fantastic. Super overpowered, but I love it; don't change a thing. Is this multiplayer compatible?

Should be Captain Jacksparrow or Barbosa.

I was hoping the leader the was the Dread Pirate Roberts from Princess Bride. I saw "Roberts" but then I read the description, and now I'm sad. :'(

Hey Creator Good mod Just a few thing you think you could give texture to the flying dutchman and i think the Merchant Ship is a Lil Bit 2 Op. thats all thanks!

Unbalanced

'love it.

Best mod

Ok, thanks.

yes, the bnw version was fitted for the new bnw features.

Is there any difference between this and the BNW version?

Pirates of Skyrim - The Northern Cardinal under the Black Flag! We say yo ho, but we don't say hoe!

great mod, just make the character screen a still image of black beard or something. I would still like the mod after that.

The Flying Dutchman was a messenger ship's captain for the VOC. He was famous for his speed. It would make more sense to make him super fast instead of powerfull.

Regardless of when i load, at turn 110 i don't get a production popup when i want to select something to build, the buy/add to/produce button stops working and although i pre qued 5 buildings it doesn't seem to go away...help plz? Was just starting to have fun :/

LOVE THE MOD but i agree with ButteredNoodlez, was disappointed to see the Royal Fortune lookin exactly like a frigate, maybe a Ship of the Line or something? And the merchant ships, bit too easy to capture one from a city state, make peace, and sell it to them in the next turn, not too big a deal

Im loving this mod tho man im a huge fan of all things pirate ;) ive got Civs paying me GPT up the ass to stop me from conquering their waters, pay up or get outta my ocean! This led me to think, is there any way to implement the blockade system that Civ 4 had? Park a ship at their border and rack in 6-15ish gold per blackade, adds a bit to the piracy theme. And perhaps find a way to allow all pirate ships to enter coastal borders without triggering war. Pirates dont see boarders!

nice mod but need custome ship models....

do pirates suck as charles vane, stede bonnet, blackbeard(ed thatch), calico jack, mary read, and anne bonny

Or Jack Sparrow ^^

Cool mod but the pirate character should be changed to something else, that picture is just ugly as heck, maybe a heroic picture of captain morgan?

YAR HAR HIDDLY DEE BEIN A PIRATE IS ALL THAT YOU NEED
YAR HAR HIDDLY DEE YOU ARE A PIRATE

Um, Treasure planet was a retelling of Treasure Island. So Captain Flint is not the best choice. What about Malcolm Reynolds ;)? Han Solo? Mother Brain...nah. My vote is leaning toward Firefly, but if Malcolm's not piratical enough for ya, well matey I don't quite know what to say.

Beats me, maybe the Pirate Captain from Treasure Planet? Just spitballing here. Unless you're going to make one from scratch.

Haven't put a whole lot of thought into it yet, I want to get a feel for the game first. Do you have a suggestion?

@kingchris20 Any idea who the leader is going to be?

better believe it! :)

Any chance of you doing "Space Pirates" Civ for Beyond Earth? XD

@kingchris20 yes, can you please give me instructions on how to add the songs to this mod. Thank you!

Well that is verry dissapointing i hope that they solve that issue, cause single players games get boring after you play them over and over again, and its always fun to massacare AI with a friend online :D

@d_hummus My copy has the soundtrack to Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag, but I cannot upload it due to copyright issues (would be file-sharing). If you happen to own that soundtrack, I could give you instructions on how to add the songs to your own copy of the mod...

Mods can be played multiplayer via Hotseat (Locally) with the "Custom Advanced Setup Screen" mod, but no mods can be played online, this is a Firaxis problem.

i love this mod and ejoy playing it in single player. but i wanted to play this civ in a multiplayer co-op game with a friend and we cant seem to get it to work. is this mod multiplayer compatibale? and if not can you release a version that is?

This is a very good mod. Any chance of adding stereodtypical "Pirate" music. Although I guess I can go on youtube and just find music there.

OP. Sad, I wanted to play pirates.

I love this mod, that being said, i dont think I would ever want to play against this pirate civ because it is so overpowering. especially when you have raging barbarians on like i did, I built a total of 3 offensive units counting 1 trieme, and 2 warriors counting my starter and i was able to take over the 12 man game by the medival era by capturing almost every barbarian encampment i destroyed. Obviously this wouldnt be so crazy op with RB off though. Again, I had a lot of fun with it, especially when the 9 civs that were left joined forces to stop me and i had triple their combined military. The civ is interesting and i would definately suggest that other people at least try this one for funzies, but keep the lite version

Can you make on fro the origional civlization 5?

This mod is pretty cool, but I think merchant ships are over-powered. It only takes a few turns to make them in large cities and if you are neighbors with a city-state, you can generate insane amounts of gold FAST! It would be more balanced if other AI's succeeded in doing the same, but right not it made for very lopsided play if you know the trick. Perhaps toning down the cost vs reward of the ships would help. Its very close to the reward for great merchants which are much harder to produce. I think raising the production cost each time a new unit is built would balance the scales.

Darn.

No Sensorfire, pre-G&K naval combat was too limited

Is there a vanilla version?

Black beard and Black Bart are different :)

I didn't call him Black Beard.......Bartholomew Roberts' nickname was Black Bart, so I said "Black Bart"

and @Han Norwood why yes, yes they are :)......no they're really not when you play as or against them.

"dubbed Black bart by your crew" I think there is a mistake since black beard is Edwart Teach not Bartholomew Roberts.

The pirates seem really OP.

.....just pick one, any of them will work

whitch gods and kings dose i reqiered
there are tons

Nope. Can't engage ships either. Ah well, the other ships are plenty enough for me to wrest control of the seas :)

Maybe someone else could...
But many thanks again, anyway.
That Pirate civ is a killer.
And very well balanced as well.
