Pirates Mod v0.6
By: Grave, TheLopez, Jeckel
Patch Compatibility: Beyond the Sword v3.13
MP Compatible: ?
Modular: No
Description:
I take no credit for creating this mod. This is the work of TheLopez. All
I did was port it over to Beyond the Sword.
This mod basically enables barbarian unis to be spawned in oceans more
realisticly. When examining the SDK code it turns out that the feature way
already available but was not taken advantage of since pirates were able to
build seafaring units but very, very slowly. Also if the mod is configured to,
some of the pirate ships will carry crews.

Spoiler :
- Makes the spawing of barbarian units in oceans more realistic.
- There is a chance that barbarian ships will carry a crew.
- You can configure the .ini file so that the barbarians can spawn UU's as the
ship's crew.
- NOTE: Right now, the only the "vanilla" units are spawning for Pirate Ships.
The UU's aren't spawning at this moment... will work on a fix for this.
