Add the Republic of Pirates civilization to your collection for the Exploration Age in Sid Meier's Civilization® VII!*
This content is available as part of the Tides of Power Collection DLC** bundle featuring two leaders, four civilizations, and four Wonders.
Where there is wealth, there is greed. The scramble for new world riches in the early 18th century brought English, Spanish, French, and Dutch fleets – but the prospect of quick riches also brought pirates. These were rarely organized, but in 1706, one band, the Flying Gang, took over the island of New Providence in the Bahamas and set up a short-lived republic for all who sought fortune... and came with few scruples.
