Pirate cities are 
Settlements that can be founded by the Pirate civilization during the Exploration Age in Civilization VII and its expansions. After the transition to a new Age, one of the previously founded 
Towns can be turned into a new 
Capital or, at an advanced start, the first Settlement was originally founded and is the Capital, and the names of future Settlements are chosen at random from the list below.
The names listed are default names; players can change their Settlements' names if they choose.
