CivFanatics member NotJohnSmith has released a pirates mod for Sid Meier’s Colonization. He describes the mod as transforming Colonization into a fun pirate-themed experience with things like Infamy instead of Crosses, Pirate Hideouts instead of Missions, pirate-themed advisor portraits, rewritten texts and lots of smaller flavor changes. He’s also currently replacing the Founding Fathers with historical and fictional pirates too.
