Pirates of Black Cove is a pirate-themed real-time strategy game published by Paradox Interactive in August 2011.

The player plays as one of three pirates sailing in an open sea in the Caribbean collecting items and fighting enemy ships.

The player can enter a port and take control as the captain and his mates.

More mates can be recruited from pirate strongholds and each has its own special abilities.
