Pirates. Bane of Ninja. Tipsy Terrors of the seas. Enemies of the common crab.
If you thought this was a topic about importing pirates from earth for your fighting force, this is sadly not the case... But we were able to get dead ones! Undead armies are typically known for being idiotic, slow, and fragile, and these offer no exception. Minus the slow part. Man can these buggers jump! Anyway, here's what's included:
(v0.1)

• Pirate matey
• Close combat falchion
• Treasure-digging shovel

(v0.2)

• Peg-Legged matey
• Dagger

(v0.3)

• Cap'n Skelly!
• Belaying Pin

(v0.4)

• Canister Carronade
• Flintlock Pistol
• Throwing Knife (By Gotcha!)

I know the list is a little small right now, but if I don't get lazy I should have some more weaponry and more pirate skeleton variants soon. Perhaps even a pirate vs crab or treasure hunt mission in b21...

Comments plz.

Sweet ( first ) Thats Just plain Awesome! Im gonna go have fun with this.
EDIT: OMFG this is Win! I love it.

lol at the 'epic battle' of the pirate v.s. crab. these look fun, please update frequently. Downloaded.

Any Giant Crab wrestling, no?
Nice falchion though.

I honestly thought the crab would prevail.
I was sadly mistaken.

Well the crab didn't have a falchion.
If it did, we would've had a crab battle.
DL'ing.

If there was no falchion, then it'd be a Biased Brain Wrestle.

Next time, the pirate skelly dies!

Jokes aside, I could speed production of the Kannon Krab if you people want it badly enough. Skellies and other weapons would be sidetracked in favor of it...

What's the Kannon Krab? (What? That's how he spells it.)

Why are pirates the ninja-bane,why not SAMURAIS?

Arg!! Because ninjas and samurais are both japanese! Pirates were originally European!

An' make an air-ship and swab the deck ya scurvey pirates! And don't forget a treasure chest full a sparklin' gold!

@Roy-G-Biv:
A stylishly dressed crab with a grapeshot cannon strapped to its back. What else?
Oh, and pegleg skelly within the hour, with a dagger.

@Foa:
Samurai are Ninja annoyances. Ninja aren't in an epic internet battle with Samurai, now are they? And if anyone is wondering, I personally ascribe to the Ninja side of that battle, but I like the Pirates' style as well.

@Cave Cricket:
I had an idea for an awesome way to do treasure chests. So instead of the typical gold-filled terrain thing, why not a terrain-colored actor that gibs into an invincible treasure chest device that you can pick up and throw into a dropship.

Ninjas are fast, weak and tricky, Samurais, are cool, instantaneously deadly, and are strong.

Ninja vs Samurai, Samurai blocks all Ninja's attacks, and Ninja gets diced up like the little wuss ninjas are.

I never said ninjas were any strong, they were more of thieves than warriors. Samurais were the soldiers of Japan. Okay, back on topic!



Make the crabs have deadly crushing claws. And make a Kraken.

CRAB BATTLE!!

Looks pretty good. I'd like to see a custom scene for this mod.
