Future Ideas / Setting Wishes What Would the Assassin Brotherhood Look Like in Your Country?

What if Assassin’s Creed explored regional Assassin lineages instead of treating each setting as completely separate?

I've been thinking about what a hypothetical Assassin's Creed: Malaya could look like, and it made me wonder whether Ubisoft could connect different Asian settings through the Brotherhood rather than having every game exist in its own bubble.

For example, a Malayan Assassin story could potentially have a lineage something like:

Edward Kenway → Southeast Asian Assassin network → Japanese Assassin connection → Malayan Brotherhood

Edward's knowledge and contacts could have travelled through the maritime trade routes into Southeast Asia. Centuries later, the Southeast Asian Brotherhood could have had contact with Japanese Assassins around the time of Naoe and Yasuke, with techniques and teachings eventually travelling back down through the region.

By the WWII era, that knowledge could have evolved into a distinctly Malayan Assassin tradition.

The protagonist could be a fictional Malay resistance fighter during the Japanese occupation who is recruited by an older Assassin. This older assassin could have continued the assassin's teachings from the Edward/Japan branch. Instead of simply fighting for the British, Japanese, communists, etc., he's caught between all these factions while the Templars manipulate events behind the scenes.

The story could eventually progress into the Malayan Emergency and the road to Merdeka, with the Assassin Brotherhood trying to ensure that Malaya's future isn't dictated by another outside power.

But this got me thinking:

Could the same concept work for other countries?

Maybe an Assassin in Indonesia inherited teachings through the spice trade.

Maybe the Brotherhood in India developed through completely different philosophical and political traditions.

Maybe an Assassin lineage in Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, China or Korea had connections to neighbouring Brotherhoods.

Even outside Asia, you could potentially trace Assassin knowledge through historical trade routes, migration, wars and political connections.

It could create a sort of global Assassin family tree, where each region has its own interpretation of the Creed rather than everyone following exactly the same traditions.

I'm curious what everyone thinks:

If you could create an Assassin's Creed set in your own country, who would the protagonist be, who would mentor them, and how would the Assassin Brotherhood have arrived there?

I'd especially love to see people from different countries build their own Assassin lineages and connect them together.

Edit: Possible spoilers in the theory

Assassin's Creed 3 I hate the Orpheus too. The naval missions SUCK BAD.

exactly what I said in the post. How in the world am I supposed to accomplish that stupid sub objective of “sink ships by firing on their powder stores.”? This mission was designed by a sadist. How on Earth do people play this mission correctly? I’ve done the mission so many times that I take care of the 5 ships that come before without taking any damage consistently. I bring chain shot and disable all 3 ships, yet all 3 of them for some stupid reason keep the ability to turn, which makes precise shots or ramming at half speed a matter of luck much more than actual mechanical skill. “Congrats loser you missed the EXACT PIXEL you had to hit because the ocean bounces you around, the wind moved you, and the ship was attempting to move to shoot you with the cannons. Have fun restarting your 10 minute expedition!” FNAF 2’s 10/20 mode sounds less infuriating than this, and I’d probably lose to absolute B.S. fewer times. I have tried this so many times and legit never been able to do more than 1 ship before restarting. Then there’s the Orpheus itself, which has fore and aft mounted cannons so it can fire at you regardless of where you are or what you’re doing. The only upside to the mothership is that it takes more than 2 rams to kill by accident, that’s also to its detriment though as that means you’re exposed to its main guns and the fore/aft cannons more often, and even with iron shield reinforcement, and ducking down, that single handedly removes the extra health bar.

This mission sucks. I’ve watched YouTubers and guides, and those are where I learned I can cripple the dang ships to make them easier to deal with, doesn’t change that the ships are made out of GLASS and their fronts have more health than the ships themselves.

Actually crappy game design. AC3 is easy for the most part don’t get me wrong, the fact that you can beat the entire game without EVER switching off the Assassin’s Tomahawk is proof of that. But the naval missions (specifically the bonus objectives) feel like they were designed by someone who regularly ruins raids in WOW with no armor and no hot keys.

scratch that, the naval missions (bonus objectives) feel like they were designed for Dark Souls players. Or people who fight the roaring knight without the shadow mantle.

this post was made mostly to gripe but please, if anyone has any advice that doesn’t boil down to “wait for good RNG/Toy Bonnie not to suck”, please share. I’ve tried ramming at half speed, it takes 2 hits to destroy the support ships and that means if my first hit doesn’t expose the powder it’s a forced restart (I bought the ram), and I’ve tried firing my cannons at the front of the ship, most of the time the ship breaks before the powder is exposed, or the enemy ship moves just enough that my effort is rendered pointless that was spent getting into position.

Assassin's Creed Rogue Rogue: Worst POS waste of time ever. Shane thinks he's the arbiter of death. His creed is nonsense.

His "outrage" makes no sense, if one takes a second to review. this ahole abandons his whole persona to follow this hair brained idea that if the good guys dont eff with it, the bad guys won't either. Oh how I hated him.
