In 1628, five years after he had arrived in the West Indies, Piet Hien, a Dutch trader for the West India Company, could not resist taking on the treasure fleet. The treasure galleons were slow, fat targets, very well-defended and wholly irresistible to pirates. Spanish galleons, wallowing low in the water from all the treasure taken onboard, were returning from the Carribean to Spain, where the gold would fund wars against the French, the Ottomans, and the Dutch. The centuries following the Spanish plunder of the Aztec, Inca, and Maya was the golden age of piracy. Pirates, or buccaneers, are sailors who prowl sea lanes, killing sailors, capturing ships, and looting cargo. This last appearance resembles the Pirate's unit portrait. Pirates are the only outlaw or treasure guardian unit characterized by five different appearances: Caucasian with a solid-color shirt and a whole body, Caucasian with a solid-color shirt and a hook for one hand, Caucasian with a striped shirt and a whole body, Caucasian with a striped shirt and a peg leg, and African with a vest and an eye patch.Even though the history section of the game and its icon shows the Pirate with a pistol, he uses a sword in-game instead.Except for the Pirates trained by Haiti, who use the British Mortar dialogue files. The Pirate and the Buccaneer speak Kabyle language using dialogue files of the Barbary Corsair.
