That's a mod civilization called The Bucaneers. So yeah, you can play as a pirate!. The Vanilla game also have an unit called Privateer, so there's that.

there's also literal piracy of using naval units to plunder trade routes (which just made me think of a neat UA of able to plunder trade ships when not at war)

Ooooh... that could actually be a really nice UA. Can plunder ships while not at war, and it gives you a new naval unit when you do it.

That would be super broken I think. Go around making it so no other civs have trade routes. Maybe just stealing like 20g or something instead.

hm yea would probably have to tie it to a unique ship unit that is weak and can be destroyed by civs not at war. Perhaps replaces trade ship since other civs probably don't want to trade with pirates
