The Pirate is a campaign-exclusive light melee infantry unit in Age of Empires IV: The Sultans Ascend that is available only for non-playable civilizations in the The Sultans Ascend campaign. It is similar to the Militia in that it is an unspecialized, relatively weak and unarmored unit, but its stats are slightly better.

Campaign appearances

• A group of Pirates guard several treasure chests on an island in the Raiders of the Red Sea scenario.

Trivia

• Pirates have the same appearance as the male Abbasid Dynasty Villager, Bedouin Swordsman, and Arabic Militia.
• An archer variant of the Pirate appears in the editor with the same unit model as the Militia Archer and improved stats. However, it does not appear anywhere in the campaign.
