	During the early 18th century, the [[Piracy\|pirate]]-turned-[[Assassins\|Assassin]] [[Edward Kenway]] assaulted and captured ten forts under the control of either the [[Royal Navy]] or [[Spanish Navy]] ~~throughout~~ the [[Caribbean]]. To capture a fort, Edward would first use his [[ship]]'s, the ''[[Jackdaw]]''{{'}}s, cannons and mortars to destroy all of the outer walls and towers, rendering the stronghold vulnerable. He would then infiltrate the fort itself, kill its officers, destroy [[gunpowder]] reserves, and break into the war room, where he would eliminate the commander.<ref name="AC4">''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''</ref>		During the early 18th century, the [[Piracy\|pirate]]-turned-[[Assassins\|Assassin]] [[Edward Kenway]] assaulted and captured ten forts under the control of either the [[Royal Navy]] or [[Spanish Navy]] throughout the [[Caribbean]].

	Following the successful capture of a fort, its flag would be lowered and replaced with a black one, and from that point on the stronghold served as an outpost for pirates in the nearby waters. By capturing 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 [[map]], detailing previously undiscovered locations.<ref name="AC4" />		Following the successful capture of a fort, its flag would be lowered and replaced with a black one, and from that point on the stronghold served as an outpost for pirates in the nearby waters.

By capturing 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 [[map]], detailing previously undiscovered locations.<ref name="AC4" />

	In addition to benefiting the Continental Army, capturing forts also made the trade routes in the [[United States\|Thirteen Colonies]] much safer, as ~~previously there had been a higher~~ risk of losing trade vessels, such as convoys, to bandits.<ref name="AC3" />		In addition to benefiting the Continental Army, capturing forts also made the trade routes in the [[United States\|Thirteen Colonies]] much safer, as it reduced the risk of losing trade vessels, such as convoys, to bandits.<ref name="AC3" />
