Pirate (Age of Empires III)

The Pirate or Buccaneer is an infantry unit in Age of Empires III, it is devastating against Light Infantry such as that used by the Aztec (Coyote Man, Eagle Knight), Chinese (Monk) and several mercenary types in The Asian Dynasties (Rattan Shield, Tiger Claw).

It can also be effective against early cavalry if boosted by non-specific Home City Cards boosting hand infantry attack or hitpoints.
