Back to the list of units

Privateers is a generic Naval Unit available in the Early Modern Era, but not buildable in the Lucy or Victor OpenDev builds.

Class and Specialty

Boarding Vessel

Cannot target Land Units. The targeted Units also take damage when they next move. (Applies Boarded status to targets)

Privateer

Appears as neutral pirate Army, so does not cause Grievances.

Unlocking

Previously, the only way to unlock the Privateer Unit was to choose the Recruit option for the Thieves of the Seas Narrative Event or by collecting it from a Curiosity.

Currently, however, the Privateer Unit does not appear in Humankind at the present time, and was removed sometime after the Victor OpenDev.
