Pirate Village.
Help the pirates and you will be given a map to help guide you to their village. At the village you can find some things to do such as:
Two quests to unlock a new place to visit in the pirate village and another small village to trade at.
They have their own unique trader dealing primarily in the new foods and flintlocks but also selling a variety of random goods.
A healer for recovering lost health.
An animal trader allowing you to buy pet crabs, parrots and monkeys.
The option to recruit pirates. There is no limit how many times you can recruit but there is a delay between the next time you recruit and the stronger the character you recruit the longer the delay is.
There are also some new non-human pirates that can be recruited too - Keep an eye out for them.
The choice to attack the village if you really want to, don't see why but you can.
Visit the pirate witches and if you provide them with the needed items (all the sea collectables) you can be rewarded for your trouble.

Cecaelia Village.
If you manage to help the cecaelia when the pirates ask you to help, you will get access to their village too.
A unique trader allowing you to trade for seashells, starfish, coral and all types of natural food found in the sea.
Become a good enough friend of the cecaelia and the pirates and a cecaelia may want to go with you.

Collectables.
With the addition of my merfolk and their pearl drops, you can now also collect seashells, coral, starfish, shark fins and predator teeth as drops from various sea based enemies.
Once obtained you can either use them to trade with merchants or if you have enough take them to the pirate village and trade with the pirate witches for various rewards.

New Weapons.
Well a sort weapons. You can purchase flintlock pistols and flintlock rifles from the pirates that are perception weapons. Pistols are equipped in the off-hand (shield slot) while rifles are two-handed and both have a chance to score a critil hit doing even more damage.
Gain enough favour with the pirates and visit the tavern to see if you can learn how to make them for yourself.
Get stone or gem essence and you can even contruct them to be used in mental or spirit challenges.

New Building.
Once you reach 50 faction loyalty with the human pirates you can get access to a new building to build in your village (Visit the Pirate village to find out how to get it).
You will gain access to the pub. It's a good place to get some rum and due to frequent fights you will have to stay on your toes to avoid getting drawn into the carnage.
Increases Wits of villagers and provides some free rum every turn.

New Enemies.
Across the high sea you will find new enemies seeking to take you down.
Sea Hags, weresharks, merfolk, unliving sharks, grindylows, giant crabs, giant octopuses, rogue pirates, AND a new threat even more dangerous than the kraken, the leviathan.

Revamped Enemies.
Base game enemies such as predator fish, sea serpents and sharks weren't much of a threat before so they've received a bit of an upgrade.
They won't be massively tougher than before but they will provide a bit more of a fight than before.
They will also drop the new loot collectables.
