'''Forts''' were fortified locations typically garrisoned by the military forces of the owner.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
During [[Golden Age of Piracy]], the [[Piracy|pirate]] [[Edward Kenway]] assaulted and captured ten forts under the control of either the [[Britain|British Navy]] or [[Spanish Navy]] throughout the [[Caribbean]], whereas during the [[American Revolutionary War]], his grandson, the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]], captured twelve forts under the control of the [[British Army]], located in [[Boston]], [[New York City|New York]], and the [[Frontier]]. <br />
<br />
When Kenway assaulted a fort, he first used his ship's cannons to destroy all of the outer walls and towers, rendering the fort vulnerable. He would then infiltrate the fort itself, kill its officers, and break into the war room, where he would dispatch the commander. The fort's flag would be lowered and replaced with a black one, and served as outposts for pirates in the nearby waters. <br />
<br />
In Colonial America, after destroying a fort's gunpowder reserves and killing its captain, Ratonhnhaké:ton lowered the British flag in exchange for a Colonial one. By doing so, control of the fort shifted from British control to that of the [[Continental Army]].<br />
<br />
By capturing the forts in the Caribbean, Edward was able to exert his piratical influence over a much greater area, as the forts would attack any passing warships. In addition, capturing a fort would clear away a part of the [[Maps|map]], detailing previously undiscovered locations. In the [[United States|Thirteen Colonies]], capturing the forts helped make the trade routes much safer, as previously there had been a higher risk of losing trade vessels, such as convoys, to bandits.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
*Forts replaced [[Borgia Towers]] from ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'' and [[Assassin Dens]] from ''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''.<br />
*Liberating forts allowed both Edward and Connor to use them as fast travel points.<br />
*When used as a fast travel point by Connor, a captured fort would occasionally spawn a single British soldier, who would then be killed by the fort's Continental soldiers. <br />
*When warships would pass captured forts in ''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]], ''they would be fired upon by the fort's cannons, although no military force would appear manning the cannons after the fort was captured.<br />
