Most weapon textures by SuperCaffeineDude

Reworked by yours truly - named in homage to the Pirates! games of old ...

Items are now craftable, pirate faction is now visible and can be selected/deselected at world gen. (Medieval tech level, Hostile) ... many potential raiders await you, including Gunners, Duelists, Grenadiers, Captains, Witchdoctors, and more!

Includes Player faction/scenario.

Specialized faction/settlement/pawn namers. Enjoy the references to historical pirate havens/other cities, actual/fictional pirate names and surnames, and the truly amusing results from the pawn namer. (I can't take full credit, it was in the previous mod, I just expanded it extensively).

Integration with other mods:
Forgotten Realms - Minotaur - What's worse than pirates? MINOTAUR pirates.
Forgotten Realms - Lizardfolk - Stylish and deadly
The Formic Race - Angry red ant pirate
The Drow Race - Drow pirates
ZARS Production Spots - Craft sea shanties at sculpting spot, brew molasses at brewing spot
Tribal Essentials Reborn - cook rum at Stone Oven
Primitive Firearms (Continued) - pirates use the weapons
Vanilla Expanded Framework - pirate guns will use "shot with smoke" effect
Vanilla Weapons Expanded - pirates will use crossbow, flintlock pistol, musket
Vanilla Fishing Expanded - Treasures Addon - various pirate items can be fished up
The Black Armory - pirates use the weapons
Dead Goat's Weapon Pack 1 - pirates use some of the weapons
Thog's Guns - Lead and Powder Pack REPRIMED - pirates use some of the weapons
Kit's Gunpowder Pack - pirates use the weapons
Alpha Memes - Pirate culture uses "Corsair" style
Biotech - Various xenotypes occur rarely in the pirates
Jernfalk's Skeletal Legion (Continued) - Those dang voodoo necromancers ...
Treasures - Naturally, pirates should have buried treasure

[SYR] Processor Framework - changes the rum recipe to an actual brewing recipe
RimCuisine 2 - sugar (you'll have two sugars until I figure out some conditional patching)

Drugs:

Rum (Grow Sugar Cane, brew Raw Sugar to Molasses, cook Molasses to Rum) - hmm, where have I seen those textures before? :)

Items:

Letter of marque - drops from pirate leader, sell to traders
Pirate rutter - reveals the location of hidden ... whoops, wrong game! - sell to traders
Treasure map - drops from pirate leader, sell to traders


Finally, an art object - Sea Shanty! Randomized song titles and snippets of lyrics. Requires "shanty lyric" to craft - which can't be crafted itself, only bought from visitors, traders, or taken from the dead bodies of the gallows bait scum who dare to challenge thee.


Regular updates:

More shanty titles and lyrics
More entries for the pawn/faction/settlement namers
Further item tuning
Additional pirate-themed items, recipes, etc.

Wishlist:

Brewing rum rather than cooking (not vanilla, would require additional mods or coding) - now implemented if you use [SYR] Processor Framework

Pirate backstories - I will begin work on these as backstory defs are now easily modable in 1.4.

Quest(s) for shanty lyrics (not sure, haven't done much research yet)
Treasure map-related shenanigans (probably needs coding)
Hard-coded match of shanty titles to lyrics (randomized right now due to the way art generation works, would probably require some coding)

A minor goal of this mod is to require no other prerequisite mods. Basically, this is probably what will push me over the brink into learning C#, my fate is likely sealed. :)


Not compatible with Combat Extended.
