Pirates Constructible Strategy Game - Factions

Factions

Ships, forts, sea monsters and crew are members of various factions. The factions exist largely for fictional purposes, but there are certain game mechanics that use the factions as well.

  • The Pirates, representing the popular view of Pirates around the "Golden Age of Piracy". They are absent in Pirates of the Barbary Coast.
  • The English, representing England and later the British Empire.
  • The Spanish, representing Spain and its empire in the new world.
  • The French, introduced in Pirates of the Crimson Coast, representing first the French empire and then the Napoleonic empire in later expansions.
  • The Americans, introduced in Pirates of the Revolution, who represent the American colonies during and after the American Revolution and the War of 1812.
  • The Barbary Corsairs, who represent the pirates that operated in the Mediterranean Sea during this time period. They only appear in Pirates of the Barbary Coast.
  • The Jade Rebellion, a fictional group representing a confederation of 'Asian' pirate-revolutionaries in the South China Sea. They only appear in Pirates of the South China Seas, with the exception of a super-rare "intro" pack from PotBC.
  • The Cursed, a label encompassing various evil supernatural characters, ships and sea monsters.
  • The Mercenaries, introduced in Pirates of the Mysterious Islands are a collection of steampunk-like scientists, revolutionaries and ships, including submarines.
  • The Vikings introduced in Pirates of the Frozen North are not historical Vikings, but Norse sailors who use Viking mythology, symbols and names for their ships.
