| Posted: 15 Jul 2021 02:20 PM PDT Hey everyone! Some of you may remember that last year we created a community survey to ask you what you liked the most about each game in the franchise (and the DLCs) in order to write our "New Initiates Guide" to help newcomers of the franchise. Now that Valhalla has been out for a while and with the recent release of the first expansion - Wrath of the Druids, we'd like to update the guide with your opinions on Valhalla and WotD. So, what did you like the most about Valhalla and/or Wrath of the Druids? It could be anything - the story, the lore or a particular character? Perhaps the setting, atmosphere, soundtrack? The combat, the raids or exploration? Be as detailed or vague as you like, as long as stay focused on the point. SPOILERS ARE ALLOWED, so keep that in mind if you haven't finished the main story or the DLC story. We will gather your answers and use them to write a summary of Valhalla and WotD on the "New Initiates Guide" page of our subreddit wiki. Also, please make sure that you clarify if you're talking about just Valhalla, the DLC or both, so it's easier to distinguish between your descriptions. The post will stay open for the next week or so after which we'll begin work on updating the guide. We appreciate your contributions! - The Moderator team of r/assassinscreed [link] [comments] | ||
| Finally got around to Revelations Posted: 15 Jul 2021 06:05 PM PDT Holy shit what a start. The dialogue to Claudia, following Altaïr throughout Masyaf. Combat and finishing animations are so fun. Old man Ezio is a fucking badass. I can't believe I skipped this game before after feeling burnt out from 2 and Brotherhood. This game is fantastic and I've only just gotten to Istanbul. I'm already excited to play through AC1, only other AC game I haven't played yet. [link] [comments] | ||
| I actually love Odyssey after returning to it. Posted: 15 Jul 2021 11:54 AM PDT So I recently started to replay all the AC games in chronological order, which meant I needed to start with Odyssey. I played Odyssey on release and hated it, I admit, I was on that bandwagon. But after returning to it now... It is so much more fun and better than I remember. It's still a bad AC game, but I like it anyways. I chose Alexios and his VA won me over so easily. He had emotion. I got a certain ending that literally made me cry because of how much I connected with Alexios. I reverted back 5 hours of gameplay just to get the best ending. I've never done that.

| [SPOILER] Honestly the "bad ending" is better than the "good ending" in Valhalla. Posted: 15 Jul 2021 03:32 AM PDT I just finished Valhalla and apparently I got the bad ending, I looked up the good ending on YouTube and I was disappointed. I feel all my decisions were the right decisions despite how Sigurd feels about them. Sigurd was in the wrong so many times, questioning his choices doesnt mean I'm disloyal to him. It kinda pissed me off that Sigurd called me selfish and what not. He hated his father yet said I robbed his father of his riches? Him and Basim deserved to be punched, and Sigurds ruling was completely unjust. Tbh, fuck Sigurd. I mean, sleeping with his wife I understand, theres no excuse for that but both Randvi and Sigurd knew they were married for political reasons only. I did give Dag his axe, which Sigurd at least appreciated. Sigurd not returning is more impactful anyways and leads to a much better ending. Instead of Eivor being given the throne, Eivor has to take it. He/she did all the work anyways yet Sigurd says Eivor is a bad leader? Eivor did literally everything for the Raven clan. A bittersweet ending is much better and much more impactful than a happy ending. Happy endings are boring. In the end I'm glad I got the bad ending, every decision I made I still feel is the right one and the "good" one. Sigurd can stay in his fantasy land. [link] [comments] | ||

| Thank you Ubisoft for all the endless entertainment! Posted: 15 Jul 2021 12:51 PM PDT Assassin's creed has some of the best graphics, free roam capabilities, and combat mechanics. The music in the game is beautiful and scenery has only improved game after game, I can stay emerged for hours in the world of Egypt, ancient Rome, England, Atlantis, Valhalla ... and even the Underworld, the list goes on and on. The fact that you don't just die from falling off the top of a house anymore and can command a ship or boat and do epic naval battles with massive elite battleships, the fact you can climb basically anything and take sweet pics of yourself in your glorious custom outfits. The imagination and creativity of the worlds Ubisoft has made for these games I am so thankful for. Thank you so much for these games and the experiences you provide your player base and community. I love the feeling when I wear my Abstergo shirt, or my assassins creed hat and see someone smile as they walk by or give me the nod, because back in the day it wasn't cool to be a gamer or represent gamer merchandise, now times have changed, and I cherish those community moments with strangers! I remember one time at a new job I started I saw a dude representing an assassins creed hat, so I engaged in conversation if he plays, next thing you know he's showing me his AC tattoo's and we become friends immediately. Thanks Ubisoft again and much love the AC community! [link] [comments] | ||
| What happened between Brotherhood and Revelations? Posted: 15 Jul 2021 03:55 PM PDT Just finished Brotherhood and started Revelations. The ending for Brotherhood felt a little ambiguous and ended rather abruptly. What happened to Ezio before he decided to go to Masyaf? Anyone know the canonical explanation? [link] [comments] | ||
| Call me daft, but I think I enjoy Rogue more than Black Flag.. [small spoilers for Rogue I guess] Posted: 15 Jul 2021 06:42 AM PDT Now don't get me wrong, Black Flag is a 10/10 game and I love it, it just feels disconnected from the assassin storyline (at least so far. Haven't finished it yet). Rogue on the other hand has a more compelling story to me, even if Shay's reason for becoming a Templar is a little shaky. (I mean if you think about it, if the assassins hadn't reached the piece of Eden first, the Templars probably would have resulting in the same earthquake). And as a plus Rogue hasn't had as many god-damned trailing missions lol Edit: I also bought the two games on Switch as a bundle. I went in under the impression of "Look! you can get Black Flag! And, oh yeah, Rogue too but look! Black Flag!" so when it turned out so good I was pleasantly surprised [link] [comments] | ||
| I’ve never laughed harder in game! Posted: 15 Jul 2021 02:08 PM PDT I'm quite late to the party, but having to defend that musician from the bishop and his sonf afterwards 😂😂 I laughed so loud my roommate came running and asked if I was okay 😂 [link] [comments] | ||
| AC Origins Sequel - it will never happen but let’s discuss it Posted: 15 Jul 2021 01:34 PM PDT Assassin's Creed Origins brought on a whole new formula for the series, introducing a huge open world (which was also done in Black Flag), bringing us much more far back into history and introducing us to Bayek of Siwa. The community seems to be on one side or the other, either you absolutely hate Origins and the new "Trilogy" or you absolutely love Origins. I personally really enjoyed what Origins had to offer. It gave us arguably one of the best protagonists in the franchise - Bayek. And told the story of the origins of the Assassin Brotherhood. The DLC's were also really well received by fans and overall It a solid game. There's so much potential with Bayek's character it would be a shame for it to be wasted. Ubisoft Montreal should've took the lead from Quebec and made the sequel we deserved. Anyway, let me know if you would want a Bayek sequel and where you would want the setting to be (personally I would want it to be in Rome or somewhere in the Middle East. Maybe it could focus on Bayek's mission on spreading the word of the Hidden Ones). [link] [comments] | ||
| South American Struggles with Independence - Potential Settings Posted: 15 Jul 2021 09:00 AM PDT The Viceroyalty of Rio de la Plata was a massive Spanish settlement that was given power by the Spanish Government in the mid 18th century despite resistance from Peru and the elites in Lima. It consisted of lands in Chile, Bolivia, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, and part of Brazil. Things progressed well, having expanded due to European Wars granting territories during the 18th century, and Buenos Aires became a major trading hub. But everything changed when Napoleon attacked. Following his war with Spain in 1808 and the collapse of the Hapsburgs and the Spanish Monarchy, nearly every Hispanic colony entered into revolt, including the viceroyalty of Rio de La Plata which entered into the May Revolt in 1810, dragging its other countries with it. The king of Portugal had just fled to Brazil, forming the United Kingdom of Brazil, Portugal, and the Algarves, which in 1811 then took Uruguay. This is the stage that's set for this series of settings as we explore the first 50 years of South America's independence and civil wars, centered on the former Viceroyalty of Rio de la Plata. Dictador Supremo de la República del Paraguay Paraguay was a small colony in the heart of South America and proved to be vital for its first two centuries of existence as a sanctuary for Jesuits and key road for exploration, though afterward it soon declined as Buenos Aires and Montevideo grew in size due to easier trade, with Buenos Aires becoming a rival to the major city of Asuncion. When Buenos Aires began the May Revolution, the elites of Asuncion were shocked and began to protest against Buenos Aires, despite their discontent with Spanish rule. Spanish Governor Bernard de Velasco convened a congress comprised of other notable leaders of the 30 towns, most notably including Jose Gaspar Rodriguez de Francia, Pedro Juan Caballero, and Fulgencio Yegros. Francia being Criolle meant he was unable to hold higher office legally (despite being one of the few Paraguayans at the time to have a doctorate), and he spoke out to the governor stating Paraguay's king did not matter. Shortly afterward, the newly formed Primera Junta from Buenos Aires sent "the most hated Paraguayan" named José EspÃnola y Peña to convince the elites of Asuncion that the United Provinces of Rio de la Plata was better than the viceroyalty. Now EspÃnola was linked to the governor prior to Velasco, Lázaro de Rivera, who executed hundreds of civilians. As a result, guards in Asuncion attempted to arrest EspÃnola on sight, forcing him to flee back to Buenos Aires where he exaggerated the events forcing the Primera Junta to send Manuel Belgrano with a small force of about 1100 men on the "Paraguay Expedition". Jose Gaspar Rodriguez de Francia, Pedro Juan Caballero, and Fulgencio Yegros were major activists and helped lead thousands of men in defense of Paraguay and succeeding at the Battle of Paraguarà and Battle of TacuarÃ, forcing Belgrano to withdraw in March 1811. Just two months later, they declared independence from the Spanish Crown as well and the military forced out the Spanish rulers. With Independence, a new Junta was formed, one in which Francia played a central part. After expanding from 3 members to 5, Francia made himself indispensable by creating an alliance with Buenos Aires and formally gaining recognition as an independent country in return for military aid. The Paraguayan military had near-complete control of the Junta, though, so in August of 1811, Francia stepped down as a member, retiring to his estate outside the city. There he began to spread rumors and contempt towards the Junta that the revolution had been betrayed and that the country had traded a Spanish monarchy for a Criollo one. He agreed to return to the Junta in October of 1811 on the condition that a political rival, Bogarin, was removed. Due to the removal not occurring, Francia left again in December of 1811. His rumors continued during this time, and it was reported by natives that he had supernatural powers and could commune with demons. Perhaps this could be explained by a Piece of Eden? This would also explain how in November 1812, Francia returned to the Junta with the provision that he controlled half the army. A year later, he and Fulgencio Yegros were named Consuls and would each control half the military, switching leading positions every 3 months. In March of 1814, Francia created new laws that restricted the marriage rights of Spaniards in an attempt to abate potential racial tensions and disrupt the class hierarchy. Late that year, the congress named Francia as sole consul for 3 years, during which time he consolidated his power, and in 1816 was declared Supreme Dictator of the Republic of Paraguay for life, at which point he abolished the congress. Francia's dictatorship, control, and increasing the military might via seizures of properties and fortifying some missions led to discontent from many men in Paraguay. In 1820 this came to a head in the form of an assassination plot against Francia, led by Pedro Juan Caballero and Fulgencio Yegros. This plot was uncovered when two slaves betrayed their master and Bogarin confessed to a priest. Francia found out a few days later and immediately began arrests. At its height, he arrested 63 men in 10 days, though over the course of the next year, he would arrest and execute hundreds of men, including all "heroes of the revolution" that were leading members of the revolution in 1811. During this time, EspÃnola, Velasco, and Belgrano all died in Buenos Aires. I could see AC turning this into the Pazzi Conspiracy, and having us hunt down leading Templars that intended to assassinate Francia. Unfortunately, this plot, while not leaving Francia scarred and deformed, did start his insane police state. Freedom of Speech was stripped away, and every year, hundreds of people were disappeared to secret torture chambers. Borders were sealed, executing anyone who tried to get in or out, despite him attempting to expand them into Argentina. The church was targeted and over the following years, every priest had to pay fealty to Francia, with him then making himself head of the church and distancing himself from Buenos Aires and Rome. He then ended higher education opportunities, stating his newly opened public library was sufficient, despite it only containing government-approved books confiscated from the homes of political dissidents he had arrested and executed. Churches were turned into garrisons, and cloth turned into military uniforms. Francia became paranoid of assassins. He ordered all trees and bushes near the gardens be uprooted so no assassins could sneak around. After a maid tried to poison him, he stopped allowing anyone within 6 feet of him, no one was allowed to carry a cane in the same room as him, he even unrolled cigars from his sister to check for poison. He died in 1840 leaving no heir, causing a 3 year period of turmoil with several successive dictators being forced out of office and assassinated until Carlos Antonio López took control in 1844. Lopez was more tolerant, releasing most political prisoners and attempting to expand Paraguay's influence, allowing also a new constitution to be drafted, though despite this it did not grant any new civil liberties. I can definitely see an AC game focused on killing Templars that attempted to kill Francia only for him to become sickened by the power from an apple, forcing you to take him down too. Chilean Constitutional Organization With the May Revolution in 1810, Chile declared its independence, though was immediately gripped with turmoil within its junta between Chilean Nationalists led by the Carrera brothers and United Latin America supporters, of whom Bernardo O'Higgins was the most prominent member. In 1813, the Spanish Crown enacted its first attempt to retake Chile via the Reconquista. José Miguel Carrera and O'Higgins were the most prominent leaders of the resistance to be promoted, and both continually tried to outdo the other on the battlefield, eventually bringing them to battle each other in the Battle of Las Tres Acequias near San Bernardo. This allowed the Spanish Royalists to retake Concepcion in northern Chile and then march down to the capital of Santiago. The Junta in Santiago was forced to flee to the San Fernandez Islands while O'Higgins and the Carrera brothers fled to Argentina. Interestingly, the San Fernandez islands hold an Isu vault or PoE of some kind. Francisco Marcó del Pont became governor while Vicente San Bruno was appointed to the head of his secret police, rounding up rebels and executing them. San Bruno was captured and executed in 1817 though, ending his personal reign of terror. During this time, O'Higgins' ally Juan Mackenna was shot and killed in a duel with Luis Carrera, which promptly landed Luis and his brother Juan Carrera in prison in Buenos Aires. This further strengthened the ties between O'Higgins and Argentine general Jose de San Martin. Together in 1817 they crossed the Andes mountains and destroyed the Royalist forces. This led to O'Higgins being installed as Supreme Dictator and formally having independence in 1818. Jose de San Martin and Argentina supported this, and the Carrera brothers, Jose, Luis, and Juan were all imprisoned in Argentina and executed a few years later. O'Higgins ruled for 6 years as dictator, though by 1823, the deaths and executions of his enemies were called into question, and political rivals accused him of having absolute state power. He stepped down, and after becoming governor of Concepcion, eventually fled to Peru. Multiple Supreme Dictators took his place, constantly shifting power and governments for a few years due to coups, forced resignations, and assassinations. In 1826 Congress created the office of the President of Chile, ending supreme dictators. This system quickly failed with the first president stepping down after less than a year, and his vice president being deposed several months after that. As a result, congress called a new election in 1829 after creating a constitution in 1828. The presidential election was won by the liberal candidate and was approved by Congress without an issue. The vice president was also elected though, and the two front runners were both in the conservative party. Francisco-Ruiz Tagle had 98 Electoral Votes, while José JoaquÃn Prieto had 61. This election should have gone to Tagle, who had the majority, but the liberal congress declared that they couldn't choose because it was within the same party, so instead declared the liberal JoaquÃn Vicuña as vice president, despite him only having 48 electoral votes. This led to a year-long civil war, with the conservatives taking Santiago in December of 1829 and installing their own government. Francisco Ramón Vicuña and the leading liberal general Ramón Freire fleeing to Peru. Despite the civil war, this allowed for the conservative government to run Chile for the next 30 years, stabilizing it in the process. Rather than painting these figures as Assassins or Templars, I think having smaller figures in the background pulling the strings, rigging elections, and creating instability would be a more interesting threat, perhaps the Templars were actually in favor of a united South America, and they had to disrupt Chilean independence to reach that. Bolivia's War of the Confederation Bolivia, despite having had parts of it belonging to the Viceroyalty of Rio de la Plata, originally was an integral part of the Peruvian Viceroyalty. During the uprisings and wars following the May Revolution, Simon Bolivar helped liberate Peru and Bolivia of Spanish Influence, with the latter being named after him and La Paz being made the new capital. Bolivar's major ally, Antonio José de Sucre assisted in major battles that helped liberate Peru and Bolivia in 1825, leading to him becoming president of Bolivia in 1826, but resigned in 1828 due to a growing movement against him. During these years, Jose de la Mar was president in Peru, but his leading general, Agustin Gamarra was firmly against Bolivia's independence. He plotted against Bolivia and tried to have Sucre assassinated, and succeed in 1830, during which time he also led a military coup and took over as president of Peru, attacking Bolivia and Gran Colombia. Gamarra was defeated and was ousted from office, but he remained in Peru, desiring to annex Bolivia. Between 1833 and 1835, Gamarra attempted to sway the army against the sitting president, succeeding in 1835 with the help of Felipe Salaverry. Bolivia sent aid, invading and assisting in the capture and execution of Salaverry. Andres de Santa Cruz, the sitting president of Bolivia, was elected as an interim president, but quickly helped create stability between Peru and Bolivia by creating the Peru-Bolivian Confederation, becoming the Supreme protector of the joint-state in 1836. Remember how Ramón Freire fled to Lima, Peru? Well, he gained funding around this time from Andres de Santa Cruz to take the islands of Chiloe which belonged to Chile. He lost and was captured, and imprisoned on the Juan Fernandez Islands (The islands with a vault). Near Lima were two more vaults, in Cusco and Nazca. Despite this, the new capital of this confederation was the town of Tanca near the southern border of Peru, Chile, and Bolivia. Chilean government officials were already concerned about the dominance of this new confederation. Beyond the fact that many Peruvians fled to Chile in the wake of the conquest, the Freire Expedition, and Diego Portales - the political powerhouse that supported Chilean president José JoaquÃn Prieto - concerns' over South American power distribution, Chile was also very concerned with the control of Pacific shipping lanes. As such, Portales led a raid in August 1836 that captured 3 Peruvian ships. Santa Cruz, looking to avoid war, sent ambassadors to try to smooth over relations. Meanwhile, his public support of Juan Manuel de Rosas who was ruling Buenos Aires, caused the Argentinians to declare war, as Argentina was in the midst of civil wars as well. France saw the power struggle and allied with Bolivia, acting as a trading partner and creating a blockade around Buenos Aires. Thus, in December of 1836, Chile declared war, and Argentina followed suit shortly after. The war was not immediately popular in Chile, so the Prieto administration sought court approval and declared martial law, prevent dissidence about the war. This strengthened their enemies, seeing this as legitimization, and in June of 1837, Coronel José Antonio Vidaurre of Chile captured Diego Portales while he was instructing troops in their barracks, and executed him. He and his co-conspirators were tried and executed shortly thereafter, shifting Chilean propaganda against Bolivia, believing that Vidaurre was an agent of Santa Cruz. Confederate ships then set sail and took the Juan Fernandez islands, during which point the Chilean military brought several ships up the coast and marched overland to the city of Arequipa under the leadership of Admiral Manuel Blanco Encalada who was led to believe that the townspeople supported the Chileans. They did not have support and were eventually surrounded by the confederate army, forcing Encalada to sign the Treaty of Paucarpata, surrendering, and returning to Chile peacefully in early 1838. Chile, being embarrassed by this, immediately went on the counteroffensive again, leading to the naval Battle of Islay, which both the confederates and Chileans claim to have won. Despite this, the naval prowess of Chile grew over the next 6 months, and they were eventually able to lay siege to Lima, capturing it in August, but abandoning it in October, marching to Huocha, due to belief that a massive Bolivian force led by Santa Ana was not far behind. This abandonment gave time for the people of Lima to convene and declare General Gamarra as president of Peru. January of 1836 had two more major encounters at Casma, a crushing naval defeat for the confederates, but a pyrrhic victory for Chile. The Battle of Buin was less eventful, with a charge by Santa Cruz forcing both sides to withdraw, and then Santa Cruz to give chase again shortly after. Santa Cruz stationed himself at Yungay, expecting to cut off supplies from Chilean commander Manuel Bulnes, who instead took the nearby hills and flanked the Confederates, crushing them and forcing Santa Cruz to flee to Ecuador. Bulnes retook Lima where Gamarra met with him, ending the war, and dissolving the confederacy, and taking the seat of President of Peru. After a year to recuperate, Gamarra, who could make a great Templar or Templar puppet, led the invasion of Bolivia in 1841. The Battle of Ingavi led to Gamarra's death in November 1841, and Bolivian General José Ballivián led a counterattack, taking the city of Arica in Peru. In 1842, Bolivia and Peru signed a peace treaty, ending the war. Uruguay's Guerra Grande Uruguay had initially allied itself with Buenos Aires following the May Revolution, and in 1811, declared itself independent from Spanish Rule, which was contested, and following a Spanish siege of Montevideo, Uruguay was forced to accept Spanish rule. This was short-lived, as a few years later the Kingdom of Brazil invaded and took Montevideo in 1817, and in 1820 Uruguay was officially incorporated into Brazil as the Cisplatine province. During this time, Brazil was a Kingdom that was fused with the Algarves and Portugal, and it erupted into the War of Independence of Brazil, leading to the creation of the Brazilian Empire; but during it Montevideo (along with Rio de Janeiro and Lisbon) was besieged. With Brazil now, an Empire, a group of former military commanders, led by Juan Antonio Lavalleja arrived in Cisplatine and used it as a staging ground for this band of "Thirty Three Orientals" to fight resistance against the Empire. They gathered in Montevideo in May of 1825 and by June had formed a provisional government declaring the secession of the Cisplatina province and alliance with the United Province of Rio de la Plata. As such, Brazil launched the Cisplatine War, and after a few years of fighting, the Treaty of Montevideo was signed in 1828, gaining Britain's and France's recognition as well, and creating Uruguay as an independent buffer nation between Argentina and Brazil. With Uruguay now free, the Thirty Three Orientals split into parties, being the Conservative Whites that pushed to help people in the countryside, and the Liberal Reds that used policy to secure the economic advancement of Montevideo. Following the ratification of the constitution, the Red party won the first election with Fructuoso Rivera becoming president. Juan Lavalleja believed he should have been president, and in 1832, his followers attempted to assassinate Rivera. A few weeks later in July, the Garrison in Montevideo revolted and claimed that Juan Lavalleja was president. Rivera gained backing from the Argentine Unitarians and defeated Lavalleja, forcing him to flee to Brazil, and then Argentina where he met with Juan Manuel de Rosas, who was a very unpopular Argentine ruler (yes the same Rosas from the last section, and the next section). The two combined forces, and after de Rosas finished his desert campaign in 1834, they marched into Uruguay, where Lavelleja was defeated again. Despite this, Manuel Oribe, a conservative, was elected as President in March of 1835, and in January of 1836, he removed Rivera from office and pardoned Lavelleja. This caused Rivera to rise up in revolt in June of 1836, with the conservatives starting to wear white armbands, while the liberals wore blue, which then transitioned to red. Argentine Juan Lavalle provided support to Rivera, while Lavelleja gained opposition Argentinian Support to back Oribe. They met in Battle at Carpinteria in September of 1836, forcing Rivera to flee to Brazil, where he allied with an insurgent republic known as Riograndense and invaded Uruguay and defeated Oribe in battle in 1837. France now began to blockade Buenos Aires as support for the Peru-Bolivian Confederation in 1838 which was at war with Chile and Argentina. They looked to remove de Rosas' power and provided further support to Rivera who crushed Oribe and Rosas in battle in June of 1838, and with France's support now against him, Oribe stepped down from office in October and fled to Buenos Aires. Lavalle and Rivera then planned to march on Buenos Aires, but the French and British intervened, trying to prevent the war from becoming international. As a result, Rosas and Oribe had time to prepare, and in December of 1842, defeated Rivera at Arroyo Grande, opening up the opportunity for Oribe to lay siege to Montevideo. The Siege lasted for 9 years, largely in part due to French, British, Italian, and Spanish fleets arriving to help defend the city's ports and give the tens of thousands of civilians fresh food and supplies, while also briefly reinforcing the city walls and helping defend them for several months at a time. This caused the government of Uruguay to split in half between the opposing sides. Despite the longevity, European powers pulled out in 1850 after signing a treaty with Rosas, acting as a win for the Argentine Federal Party. However, Justo José de Urquiza, a fellow federalist, led an uprising against Rosas in 1851, aided by Uruguayans, and his defeat left Oribe open. Brazil interceded in the siege next, and defeated Oribe. Though Rosas still had forces at Montevideo, so Brazil then allied itself with the reds of Uruguay and together led a charge into Argentina against Rosas known as the Platine War. Rosas was defeated a few months later in 1852, and five treaties were signed, allying Uruguay with Brazil, ending the siege, and stabilizing Uruguay's government. Rosas was exiled to Britain where he died 25 years later, though honestly he'd make a fantastic Templar, and with London controlled by Crawford Starrick, he may have been fleeing to Templar allies. Argentine Civil Wars Argentina is massively tied to the rest of South America's history. Following the May Revolution in 1810, their War for Independence went on to aid Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru, and Brazil. By 1814, despite the war raging on, the revolutionaries had begun to see strife, splitting between Federalists and Unitarians. Federalists wanted each province to govern independently, while Unitarians wanted a centralized government ruling everything. Despite multiple revolutionaries previous mentioned, including Manuel Belgrano, José de San MartÃn, and MartÃn Miguel de Güemes putting together a plan to be ruled by a king of Incan descent, Congress decided in 1816 to move forward with a centralized government plan. In 1819 the constitution was drafted and José Rondeau was made supreme director of the region. Regional federalists Estanislao López and Francisco RamÃrez rose up in response. Rondeau called back the armies who were on the fronts fighting the Spanish, but Jose de San Martin refused to abandon Chile and Manuel Belgrano mutinied. This led to the battle of Cepeda in 1820, and in September of that year, Ramirez declared himself to be a hegemonic leader of the Republic of Entre Rios, leading to him being assassinated by Lopez a few months later. Several more minor republics attempted to rise up via Federalist influence, but as Argentina was facing war with Bolivia over Uruguay, Bernardino Rivadavia became the first president of Argentina in 1826. His unitarian policies were largely ridiculed by Manuel Dorrego, making Rivadavia step down in 1827, and his vice president in 1828. At this time, Juan Manuel de Rosas had become one of the wealthiest men in the Buenos Aires province, having served in the militia, rising to the rank of Colonel, and expanding his personal ranch to be the 10th largest in the province. With no president, though, Manuel Dorrego was elected as interim governor of Buenos Aires. The new governor, Juan Lavalle seized and executed Dorrego without trial in December of 1828, causing Rosas to gather forces, ally with Estanislao Lopez, and rise up against Lavalle. They defeated Lavalle in April of 1829 at the Battle of Márquez Bridge. Rosas became Governor of Buenos Aires a few months later but lost power in 1832. With debts accumulating due to the new Unitarian government, he led the Desert Campaign from 1833-1834, subjugating a large part of Argentina and its native population, but opening the pathway for southern exploration, which is important because Argentina has like 4 known Isu sites. His return from the south was met with a return to power in 1835 and cracking down on political dissidents creating what modern historians consider state terrorism. He continued to serve until 1852 when he was removed from power after the failed siege of Montevideo and the failed Platine War with Brazil, leading him to become exiled in Britain. Despite Justo José de Urquiza having been a federalist, following his ousting of Rosas, he supported a new constitution for the whole country, creating an office to write one. As a result, on September 11th, 1852, Buenos Aires revolted and declared itself to be an independent state, leading to a siege a year later after it refused to negotiate and enter the constitution. By 1854, it had been reconquered, and Urquiza was made president with Bartolome Mitre as a close advisor who had been previously exiled from Argentina. Despite efforts by Urquiza, the assassination of Federalist Nazario BenavÃdez by unitarians stoked tensions, and a trade agreement between Rosario and Montevideo that would weaken Buenos Aires caused Buenos Aires to once again revolt, now led by Mitre. Urquiza defeated Mitre at the Battle of Cepeda in 1859 and created the Pact of San Jose with him, giving trading power to Buenos Aires. In 1860, Urquiza was in the process of stepping down, supporting Santiago Derqui as president when Mitre broke the pact and entered into open revolt again. Urquiza led a battle against him at Pavon but ended up retreating, and with his loss, decided to retire to his Villa. With Urquiza gone, Derqui fled to Montevideo. Mitre would end up taking over after that, but promised to support constitutional changes that were unpopular from 1860 to help end hostilities, and was elected as president in 1862. The Unitarians were dissolved by the end of 1862 and led the Triple Alliance against Paraguay in the Paraguayan War from 1865-1867. Minor disputes remained and a few revolts occurred for a few more years, but by 1868 the federalist party dissolved, and by 1880 the Argentine Civil Wars had ended. [link] [comments] | ||

| What's the most realistic moment from Assassin's Creed for you? Posted: 15 Jul 2021 06:23 AM PDT You know, moment where you said "that felt si real". For me, it's Bayek opening scene when he smashed man's face and moment when Ezio killed Uberto Albieri, that was his first assassination. [link] [comments] | ||
| What does the Unit "m" stand for? Posted: 15 Jul 2021 10:29 PM PDT In the ENTIRE Assassin's Creed franchise, has the unit "m" (I think it's a unit of distance?) EVER been defined? Minutes (of travel)? Meters? Miles? None of these seem to fit! [link] [comments] | ||

| AC3 Remastered - Naval Convoys lost/destroyed help Posted: 15 Jul 2021 02:36 PM PDT Hello, I recently made Naval convoys and sent them out with all my bear pelts. I sent them to the buyers where the risk is only 5% (I did the Naval Missions to reduce risk). However, I just lost 2 convoys with all my bear and beaver pelts T_T Is this a bug or normal or am I just extremely unlucky? [link] [comments] | ||
| What I hope each team brings to Assassin's Creed Infinity Posted: 15 Jul 2021 12:22 AM PDT Since it seems that future games will be a collaboration between the two teams, I wanted to share my thoughts about what each team has done well, and what I hope they do in the future. In regards to the Montreal Team: this team understands Assassin's Creed thematically. They have deep characters, great callbacks to the rest of the series, and a much stronger care for history over fantasy. They also have very strong dialogue and voice acting, and better modern day. (Black flag being one of the best in the series imo). I hope that this team is in charge of the narrative development of the series, because this is really where they shine. When it comes to things like stealth gameplay, bugginess (especially from Valhalla), and general polish on their games, this team is a bit weaker. In regards to Ubisoft Quebec: This team knows how to make a polished game. Say what you will about Odyssey, but it was a clean game, with its biggest problems being minor balancing issues. This team shines in making games fun to play. I hope that they run the gameplay aspects of the series. In terms of narrative elements and themes, I think that this team isn't as strong. I think that Syndicate and Odyssey have some very strong points, but both their dialogue and voice acting are subpar. They also clearly don't care about the ip as much, favoring fantasy over history in many places, and getting rid of things like the confessions, hay bales for hiding, and other things. I have loved the last three games for very different reasons, and I hope that both teams use their strengths to make the future of the series, rather than just letting one team steamroll the other, leaving us in this era of high end mediocrity that has been tormenting the series since Unity. What do you all think? [link] [comments] | ||
| Should Assassin's Creed go the Hitman way? Posted: 15 Jul 2021 09:29 AM PDT I don't dislike the new games as such, but you could remove Assassin's Creed from the title and no one would blink an eye. Of course, I am speaking gameplay-wise. Marketing-wise, the title makes all the difference. On the other hand, I often found missions in the earlier games too repetitive and formulaic. If we (or some of us) want Assassin's Creed to return to its roots - that will need to change. And what defeats formula and repetitiveness - other than creativity lol - Difficulty. AC games are not difficult at all. There is hardly Lines of Sight to worry about. There are bushes EVERYWHERE. And you can just whistle people to where you want to kill them😂😂😂😂😂! That set me wondering - what stealth game has retained its essence even today - Hitman. Would I like to play a medieval/historical version of Hitman? FUCK YES. Instead of parading around in stupid robes (which go against the creed - hide in plain sight), it would be so awesome to pose as a monk, beggar, guard, pirate. There could be a multitude of different ways to kill, and a multitude of different skill trees - Disguises/Alchemy/Trapper, etc. Aren't we tired of the boring Gun, hidden blade and sword/spear/axe. I ended up rambling, but I just wanted to discuss different ways by which Assassin's Creed can return to just that - A game about assassin's. And FUCK those robes. [link] [comments] | ||
| What would you all say about an AC set in Italy during the italian unification? Posted: 15 Jul 2021 09:25 AM PDT I loved the ezio saga and his representation of renaissance italy , but i think that an AC set during the italian unification could have a lot of potential for the story and also it would be nice to have the open world of the newer games but in italy which has always had a great tradition in his navy. What do you all think? [link] [comments] |
