Are the pirate units worth using later in the game?

Nah, not worth it. You'll spend far too much time going back and forth buying more of them. They aren't strictly no retal, they don't have range, and don't resurrect well. You would probably due better with Fairies and dryads than pirates, since they are everything that pirate/robbers aren't.

Oh, and also, there isn't a big badass item (Unless it is in the gift bag) for them. The ring of Arianna is no Anga's Ruby, or that 'always crit' spider item either.

True Zech, although there is quite a few pirate buff items around which should stack up nicely. I'm not 100% sure but i dont think there are any new particular pirate items in the gift-bag, after having a glace over the items. ( which are still pretty cool for sure though )
I was tempted to give it a whirl too when i had like 4 pirate items but i didnt go for it in the end. Who knows though, maybe there's some pirate-loving people around who would wanna try it though. Yarrr!
