Henry Grattan: assassin or templar?

Doctor Maturin could be in it!

beijingpalmer.bsky.social•11 days ago

I mean, Maturin basically *is* an assassin.

Would be more Ireland as a whole though ofc but AC generally shies away from the period where people have real guns

I've not been following NI politics recently, but in discussions 10 years ago the rights & wrongs of the 17th - 20th century inclusive were still hotter topics than anyone would like

AC: Troubles is 90% the player character wondering how selling drugs is going to stop the Templars, 10% doing extremely sad assassination attempts against Thatcher.

if I had to make an AC game I'd set it in New Orleans in 1874. From the final struggle with the endboss -

"You can't stop this! The South _will_ rise again!" "But _you won't._"

The masked society thing or whatever are definitely templars

there were accusations that the Illuminati lay behind the 1798 rebellion!

mikedavis.bsky.social•11 days ago

why? because at the command of their masters the Jesuits they sought to destroy all real religion! no I am not 'making this up'. well it didn't happen but people did say that it did.

Another great spicy setting would be the early wars of the Reformation. At first you ally yourself with Luther, until he turns on the peasants and Jewry.
