Are the pirate units worth using later in the game?

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!
