Historical info

I'm not entirely sure why you deleted all of that work, Vatsa1708. Even if you want to get rid of the history section (which I would be pretty sure plays a role in the ACIII story - we've already read in sources that Connor Kenway is at the Battle of Bunker Hill, so at least that part is relevant), the physical description is the physical description. Unless the programmers are going to make the city wildly different than what it was in 1770, the description is likely completely accurate for the game. There will probably be a British encampment in the center of Boston, and there is a Castle William in the Harbor, as the picture shows. Regardless, the article is placing the city within the context of the ACIII time period. Of course, once the game comes out, then it would be easier to add in the relevant game events and factoids. But as it was written, I don't think anything was particularly out of line. AOHistSupport 14:17, May 31, 2012 (UTC)

The point is that until we actually have a source that it is depicted in the game, we don't know if it is in the game. Everything must be sourced by an official source that says it will be in the game; the games aren't completely historically accurate and they will never be. I just want to add that Boston will be different than its historical counterpart, in the sense that it will be the same size as former big cities like Florence and Venice, while it was significantly smaller in real life at that time. -- Master Sima Yi _Talk 14:23, May 31, 2012 (UTC)

I reverted your edit since the information is sourceless. As Sima said, we cannot expect an Assassin's Creed game to be historically accurate and add information from a history book or copy paste Wikipedia article about that time period. We deal with information from the game itself.. --VATSA (TALK • GENTEK) 14:29, May 31, 2012 (UTC)

Fair enough. I guess we'll just wait for the game to come out then. AOHistSupport 14:43, May 31, 2012 (UTC)

Size

Where does it say that Boston will be 50% larger than Rome? RomanEagle 10:24, June 15, 2012 (UTC)

It hasn't been said that Boston is 50% larger than Rome. The Frontier on the other hand... Slate Vesper 11:03, June 15, 2012 (UTC)

(slaps self on hand) Excuse me for that. I guess you have your proof now. Slate Vesper 11:14, June 15, 2012 (UTC)

Boston underground

Is there anywhere where anyone talks about the Boston or New york underground?
