Renovation is a feature in the Assassin's Creed series which originated in Assassin's Creed II. It functions as an economic system which provides the player with income automatically over time. The amount of income increases as more buildings are renovated. Usually each increment of income is dispatched every 20 minutes (real world time) while the game is on and not paused.

'''Renovation''' is the process of improving a broken, damaged or outdated structure.  


=== [[Assassin's Creed II]] ===
==History==
Shops down to less practical (for the player) buildings such as a well and a church can be renovated in the [[Villa Auditore]] in [[Monteriggioni]]. This system is more simple than in later entries, but all the same rewards the player with discounts, new items, and more money.
===Italian Renaissance===
At the behest of his uncle, [[Mario Auditore]], [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio]] renovated various shops and landmarks within [[Monteriggioni]]. Renovating shops rewarded Ezio with greater discounts on items, while renovating landmarks allowed him to open [[treasure chests]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>


=== [[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]] ===
While attempting to [[Liberation of Rome|liberate]] the city of [[Rome]] from the [[House of Borgia|Borgia]], Ezio renovated multiple shops, [[aqueducts]] and historical landmarks in the city. Before he could do so, however, he needed to take control of the district by eliminating a [[Borgia captains|Borgia captain]] and burning their [[Borgia Towers|towers]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>
The income system is greatly expanded upon in Brotherhood, serving as the benchmark implementation of this feature for the series to date. [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio]] must first establish Assassin control in an area by assassinating the Templar captain in charge; it is then that he is able to walk up to the many stores, landmarks, aqueducts and fast travel points in Rome that have gone out of business due to the ruthless actions of the [[Borgia]]. Banks are what set the maximum amount of income, and also act as a means to withdraw income throughout the city, instead of having to travel to one chest each time as in II.


=== [[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]] ===
During his quest for the [[Masyaf Keys]] in [[Constantinople]], Ezio aided the [[Turkish Assassins|local branch]] of [[Assassins]] in taking back the city from the [[Byzantine Empire|Byzantines]]. After clearing out a [[Assassin Dens|den]], Ezio was able to renovate shops and historical landmarks.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''</ref>
The system here is not much different than Brotherhood apart from being affected by the changes to the system of capturing Templar territory, and little things such as art shops being effectively replaced by book stores. These changes reflect the cultural changes Ezio has experienced going from Rome to [[Constantinople]]. Ezio's economic influence over the city as a complete foreigner is impressive, if not slightly baffling.


=== [[Assassin's Creed III]] ===
===18th century Caribbean===
The renovation system has been removed as part of the many changes made to AC:III. The only resemblance is in [[Ratonhnhaké:ton|Connor]] attracting business to the [[Davenport Homestead]], sometimes needing to pay large sums of money in order to have buildings constructed. However, the only income to speak of is through the new trade caravan system.
After acquiring command of [[Great Inagua]], [[Edward Kenway]] was able to renovate shops on the island.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''</ref>


=== [[Assassin's Creed IV]] ===
===Seven Years' War===
Even less present than in AC:III. Understandably, as pirates aren't known for their hand in renovating small businesses.
After meeting [[George Monro]], [[Shay Cormac]] renovated various buildings in [[New York]], the [[River Valley]] and the [[Atlantic Ocean|North Atlantic]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]''</ref>


=== [[Assassin's Creed: Unity]] ===

Renovation makes its not-so-triumphant return in Unity.
As part of her rivalry with other businesses, [[Aveline de Grandpré]] renovated several [[dressing chambers]] and equipment shops.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed III: Liberation]]''</ref>


=== [[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]] ===
===American Revolution===
Surprisingly, renovation also lives again in Rogue, despite the vast similarities in gameplay to Black Flag.
During his time on the [[Davenport Homestead]], [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]] revitalized the land by attracting new residents and renovating houses to be built.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''</ref>

''Details forthcoming.''
After becoming an Assassin, [[Arno Dorian]] renovated several shops in [[Paris]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Unity]]''</ref>


=== Trivia ===
==References==
- While not the first open world game to implement a feature involving collecting income from businesses (this goes at least as far back as [[:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto:_Vice_City|Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]) the series' focus on it in numerous installments has become unparalleled. The way the player can improve visual features in the city makes it in more in line with a city building game, albeit a much more simple version. This combination of action and city building has a progenitor in 1990's [[:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ActRaiser|ActRaiser]].
