===Golden Age of Piracy===
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]], the ''[[Jackdaw]]''<nowiki/>'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 they would eliminate the commander.<ref name="AC4">''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''</ref>

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" />

This article has been identified as being out of date. Please update the article to reflect recent releases and then remove this template once done.

This article is about defensive structures. You may be looking for a memory of Edward Kenway.
The British evacuating Fort Monmouth

Forts are military complexes engineered for the defense of territory.

History[edit | edit source]

Golden Age of Piracy[edit | edit source]

During the early 18th century, the pirate-turned-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.[1]

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.[1]

A decade later, while in the Philippines, Edward encountered another fort on Monkey Island, occupied by a faction of native resistance fighters led by Rajah.[2] The Assassin, accompanied by several crew members of the Fenghuang and native villagers, later stormed the fort to rescue the prisoners held in its dungeon, and escaped by jumping into the water after John Young planted explosives to destroy the stronghold.[3]

Seven Years' War[edit | edit source]

The Morrigan attacking a fort

During the Seven Years' War, the Templar Shay Cormac captured forts controlled by the French Navy in the North Atlantic and River Valley. Shay's process of capturing a fort was similar to the one used by Edward, first weakening its defenses with the Morrigan's armaments, then breaching the stronghold to kill its commander.[4]

Unlike the forts captured by Edward, those captured by Shay became outposts for the Royal Navy, as the Templars supported the British Crown throughout the war. To reflect this, the French flag of a captured fort would be replaced with the Union Jack.[4]

American Revolution[edit | edit source]

During the American Revolutionary War, the Assassin Ratonhnhaké:ton captured several forts under the control of the British Army, located in Boston, New York, and the Frontier. On infiltrating a fort, Ratonhnhaké:ton would destroy its gunpowder reserves, eliminate its captain, and finally lower the British flag and replace it with a Colonial one. In doing so, control of the fort shifted from the British to the Continental Army.[5]

In addition to benefiting the Continental Army, capturing forts also made the trade routes in the Thirteen Colonies much safer, as it reduced the risk of losing trade vessels, such as convoys, to bandits.[5]

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • Forts replace Borgia Towers from Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and Assassin Dens from Assassin's Creed: Revelations.
  • Liberated forts in Assassin's Creed III, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, and Assassin's Creed Rogue can be used as fast travel points.
  • In Assassin's Creed III, when used as a fast travel point by Connor, a liberated fort will occasionally spawn a single British soldier, who will then be killed by the fort's Continental troops.
  • When warships pass captured forts in Black Flag and Rogue, they will be fired upon by the fort's cannons although no military force will appear manning the cannons after the fort is captured. In Rogue, British soldiers could be hostile to Shay should he attack them.
  • In Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, forts captured by pirates would still appear to be damaged from the previous bombardment by the Jackdaw, but in Assassin's Creed: Rogue, captured forts would be in their normal state, as they are now administered by British forces.
