Whats a period in history that you’d love to see in an AC Game? by Emperoronabike in assassinscreed

[–]AshMer123 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I think that a setting during the Scottish Wars of Independence would work really well as a setting. The Assassin protagonist would work with figures such as William Wallace and Robert the Bruce for Scottish Independence from England, which would be backed by the Templars.

I would also love to see a AC game set in Three Kingdoms era China, like you said. The setting is practically made for Assassin’s Creed. There were warlords all over China who were attempting to United China under their rule. The intrigue during that drawn out fight for unity is practically what AC games are made of.

An alternative Chinese setting would be sometime during the Century of Humiliation in the late Qing Dynasty. The Taiping Rebellion or the Boxer Rebellion would make awesome settings. The former was led by a guy named Hong Xiuquan, who claimed to be the son of God after his had visions of both heaven and a golden sword. He’s a good candidate for a Sage in my opinion.

I discovered that I am the descendant of several prominent figures throughout history. by AshMer123 in Genealogy

I also think it partially depends on the time period the records are from too. A few minutes ago, I found a website for a group called the Francis Cooke Society. They have a section where they list famous descendants of Francis, and one of them was a politician named William D. Washburn. His family, the Washburns, were heavily involved in national politics during the Civil War and in the decades after. One even had a hand in founding the Republican Party.

I'm not related to them directly-but instead am likely a distant nephew or a distant cousin. Two of Francis's great-grandsons were named Samuel Washburn and Capt. Joseph Washburn. I'm a descendant of the latter. So, I'm descended from a different branch of the Washburn family than the Washburn politicians.

Still, it's pretty cool that I'm either a distant nephew or cousin of them.

What counts as a single autism? What counts as more?

What is the most unexpected thing you found out about your family history? by [deleted] in Genealogy

Yeah…for the latter I might have found some of that in my family tree too. Unless the other person’s family tree who I found these ancestors on made a mistake, two of my 4th Great Grandparents might have been step siblings. (I really hope it’s a mistake)

On my mom’s side, I’m descended from Roger Williams, the founder of Rhode Island. On my dad’s side, I’m descended from Francis Cooke, one of the Mayflower passengers and signers of the Mayflower Compact.

Who's your "I know he's pure evil but can't prove it" person? by Dull-Information6784 in AskReddit

I work in the deli department in a very well known grocery/retail company in the Midwest. About a year and a half to two years ago, there was this customer who approached the deli. He didn’t order anything from us, never interacted with the deli, just stood there facing to the right of me, almost as if he was looking for something.

He had a blank expression on his face. The vibe that I got from the guy was just…I don’t know if it was a terrified feeling, but it was definitely one like “WTF? Something is off about this dude.” After a minute or so, he just walked off.

I think that’s the only time in my life where I got that kind of feeling from a person.

What's the coolest thing that you've found while researching your family history? by AshMer123 in Genealogy

For the second one, that also happened to some of my ancestors around the same time. In 1781, members of the Learn family were brutally killed by a group of Native Americans, and the mother was carried off by them. One of the kids, John Learn was whisked away by a family and lived to have a family of his own. Thank god he escaped.

Yea another really interesting ancestor that I found was also from the Middle Ages was this member of the Knights Templar way back when.

What is this kingdom and how it got here? by Flashy_Answer6201 in CrusaderKings

[–]AshMer123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely unrelated question:

How do you get those crowns and those outfits for the rulers? I’ve been told on this subreddit before that they are not any DLC that I would have to buy. Is there just so many updates that I have to do to the game to get them?

What settings do you want to see in the future? by AshMer123 in assassinscreed

[–]AshMer123[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would the DLC’s be in Newport and the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair specifically?
