as I say, this is all relatively fluid about how it's used. and now that I think about it, that unit would more suit the Ironclads.
Well then you have a problem, because if both your Navy and Ironclad factions use guns, how do you decide which units go where?

The ironclad are more fixed on guns and gunpowder...pirates will have probably gunpowder weapons, too...

Ironclads are more fixed with experimenting with gunpowder weapons. This will give them stuff like early model gattling guns, grenades, etc.
the red dragons would be more related to rockets more than anything.
both pirates and the navy will have a unit using gunpowder. for the navy, it will be the musketeer, and for the pirates, it will be something like... sharp shooter.
and as for the grab ability for the giant enemy crab (i'm going to have to find a better name) yeah, why the hell not?

Have you thought 'bout skills & hero/captain types yet?
for the first, I think Navigation is vital, soemthign bout guns would be great. leadership can probably be kept, as well as attack and defense & luck. What about war machines & sieges, anyway?

skills will be kepts the same as with heroes, with a few exceptions.
since magic is racial-based, the four magic skills (dark, light, destructive and summoning) will be taken out. Sorcery will remain. Navigation, yes, will be key, as well as leadership. Offensive and defensive will play a role, as well as seige related stuff. Luck will be invovled as well.

I like the Arabian guys, and the Ironclads. They seem the most original.
I think the Arabians should have wind elementals at some point, maybe tier three?

I don't really want to include elementals, or if I do, they are by another name.
mainly because this is not a magic focused universe, so probably not all the usual trapings.
but I'm glad you like both of them.

Hummm...
I'm not sure if it will be very entertaining though, sailing the oceans can be long and boring, unlike in pirate movies 
Could consider making the ship like a moving town which you upgrade and build. So you basicly have a moving fortress.... Then again, different kinds of towns for the factions seems more entertaining. Pirate refuge, heh...
Add a merfolk / Sirens faction. With their fishy monster friends aiding them.
You can probably get away with adding a voodoo-based lizardman faction as well. But then again, I personally add those into anything

I like the moving town idea. I think it's very creative. Perhaps as your faction gets more buildings, the ship gets bigger and looks cooler? And the factions have different looking ships?

the moving town idea is a good one, however, It does make all the fights into seige fights.
also, I like the idea of a fixed base, personally.
maybe moving towns for the merfolk?

I'd rather have a choice between moving towns and fixed towns. I think that's better.

I have an idea for the fleet of the damned lineup:
Tier 1: Skeleton -Skeletal Pirate (basic melee)
Tier 2: Zombie Deckhand -Rotting Deckhand (slow melee, rots enemies)
Tier 3: Sea Spirit -Ghastly Sailor (incorporeal, flyer, shooter)
Tier 4: Drowned -Nosferatu (flyer, 80% life drain, life drain)
Tier 5: Skull Captain -Bonemarrow Captain (shooter, bonus vs tier 6)
Tier 6: Bone Snake -Bone Wyrm (tank, 40% life drain)
Green= upgrade ability Red= downgrade only ability Black= upgrade and downgrade
