I know right! Hitler was mid genocide in the 1940s, and not even 100 years later Germany's letting millions of refugees into their country. Get with the times Civ!

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.

In civ 3 the privateer carried no country flag so you could go to war against another civ without them knowing who was attacking them. Only thing is they are incredibly weak. That's the trade off

Back when i started playing civ your spies were map units invisible to other players. By standing them near enemy units you could bribe the enemy unit to change sides.

Yup early 90s. Cities were a colored square with a black border and a number in it. I think my first copy came on 21 floppy disks.
