'''Battle of Forlì''' is one of two [[Assassin's Creed II DLC|downloadable content]] extensions for [[Assassin's Creed II]]. It comprises the first of the two "corrupted memories" of the [[Animus]] (DNA sequence 12), which retails for $3.99, or £2.47. It will involve [[Niccolò Machiavelli]] and [[Caterina Sforza]] fighting alongside [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio]] to protect a piece of Eden from the Orsi Brothers and the Templar Knights. It contains six new missions, of which Ezio will use the [[Flying Machine|flying machine]] once more and as the title suggests, it will take place in the poorly exploited (in the main game) [[Forlì]].

==Battle of Forlì in history==
The only battle that has occurred in Forlì was during May 15, 1282 when there was a battle against a powerful French contingent sent by Pope Martin IV. The battle was cited by [[Dante Alighieri]] (who was hosted in the city in 1303 by Scarpetta Ordelaffi III).

Several battles occurred within the early and late 1490s, where Caterina Sforza held the title "Countess of Forli". The Italian Wars was in its early stages, and Forli stands strategically between the two cities, [[Florence]] and [[Venice]], though Forli is an ally of the latter. Forli fell to the combined might of French armies (as support given by King Louis XII), papal armies and Italian mercenaries, led by [[Cesare Borgia]] around the early 1500s.
