Unusually for a minor faction, Pirates are playable in multiplayer, though only for naval battles.Īt the start of the Grand Campaign, they have two regions: Trinidad & Tobago, and the Leeward Isles. However, they never launch land invasions.
They operate only in the American and trade theatres, attacking any ships there. In addition, their unit rosters are completely unique. The Pirates are a unique faction: they are always at war with all factions, and cannot be negotiated with at all.
