Ships: Boarding with Units

[NeonInfusion]

I just thought of an idea. I'm not sure if anyone thought of this yet, and if they did, I apologize.

Anyway, my idea was that you can "board" boats. You would build units that would be called "pirates" and load them into a ship called the "pirate ship". Pirates can only be loaded into pirate ships, and pirate ships can only hold pirates (maximum of four pirates). Pirates and the ships would become available with saltpeter, and some technology that I can't think of right now. After you do your preparations, you would launch your ship into the open seas. After you encounter another ship, depending on the stats, you would have the pirate ship attack. If the pirate ship is victorious, the pirates will take over the ship, and you will gain control of the ship.

I'm not sure of what tech this should come with, or the stats ( ), so I would appreciate any suggestions on improving my theory.

Maybe have them hidden Nantionaly, But you should also have marines for the ships that isn't hidden nantionaly. Because if I remember right didn't they use marines on the ships to do that?

The way you put it feels a lot like the "enslavement" ability...

you can essentialy do this in the editor, just add the units your talking about and give it the enslavement ability
