==History==
===Classical antiquity===
====Classical Greece====
During the [[Peloponnesian War]], [[Greece]] was divided in two major factions: the [[Delian League]], led by [[Athens]], and the [[Peloponnesian League]], led by [[Sparta]]. The soldiers of the Delian League wore armor with blue tones and had more proficient [[archers]] while the Peloponnesian League wore armor with red tones and had better melee fighters.<ref name="ACOd">''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]''</ref>
One of the most important was the [[Cult of Kosmos]], a secret organization who wanted to control Greece and had members in the [[Delian League (Cult of Kosmos)|Delian]] and the [[Peloponnesian League (Cult of Kosmos)|Peloponnesian Leagues]]. They also had their own guards wearing silver armors with masked helmets. The [[Heroes of the Cult]] were some of the strongest fighters of the cult and the [[Gods of the Aegean Sea]] were their weapons on seas.<ref name="ACOd" />
===Ptolemaic Egypt===
During the 1st century BCE, Lower and Upper [[Egypt]] was under the control of the army of the Ptolemaic dynasty. Their army was composed of Greeks and Egyptians who wore light armors under their tunics. They patrolled in the different cities, military camps and roads of Egypt. The Army of the [[Roman Republic]] controlled the [[Cyrenaica]] and the [[Sinai]]. They wore red tunics with leather and iron armors. During the [[Alexandrine Civil War]], the two armies fought for the control of Egypt. They also tracked [[Vigilantes|rebels]] who questioned their authority.<ref name="ACO">''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]]''</ref>
When the member of the [[Order of the Ancients]] [[Medunamun]] took the control of [[Siwa]], he had his own guards, wearing white and red tunics and oppressing the citizens of the oasis. The [[Medjay]] [[Bayek]] fought these men and their control, ultimately killing Medunamun.<ref name="ACO"/>
In the [[Aaru|different]] [[Aten (afterlife)|realms]] [[Duat|of the]] [[Heb Sed|afterlife]], the dead were protected by the [[Afterlife Guardians]], black and golden anthropomorphic creatures with a head of a jackal. If someone who wasn't dead entered the afterlife, the guardians attacked them.<ref name="ACO"/>
===High Middle Ages===
[[File:BoA 4.png|thumb|250px|thumb|left|[[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] fighting several Crusaders]]
During the [[Third Crusade]], soldiers wore the armor and colors of either [[Saracens]] or [[Crusaders]], with the latter subdivided into the personal guards of King [[Richard I of England]], or the Knights [[Templars|Templar]], [[Knights Hospitalier|Hospitalier]], and [[Knights Teutonic|Teutonic]].<ref name="AC">''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref>
Saracens were loyal to Sultan Saladin of Egypt and Syria and to Turkish Sultan Kilij Arslan II and spoke Turkish or Arabic, while Crusaders were loyal to King Richard I of England, King Philip II of France and Emperor Frederick Barbarossa of Germany and spoke mostly English, with some Captains and Sergeants speaking French or German. Templar Knights, however, spoke all of the dialects.<ref name="AC" />
Saracens wore {{Wiki|lamellar armor}}, and either {{Wiki|spangenhelm}}s or turbans. All Crusaders wore surcoats and chainmail, while some also wore spangenhelms or {{Wiki|great helm}}s.<ref name="AC" />
[[File:Talal Assassination 3.png|250px|thumb|Altaïr fighting Talal's personal guard]]
The colors of Crusader surcoats differed with their affiliation, with King Richard's personal guard wearing red and white, Templars wearing white with red crosses, Hospitaliers wearing black with white crosses, and Teutonics wearing white with black crosses.<ref name="AC" />
Guards for several smaller factions or individuals possessed their own uniforms as well, such as the black, gold-striped clothes of [[Talal]]'s men, or the short white robes and grey hoods of the guards of [[Masyaf]].<ref name="AC" />
{{-}}
===Renaissance===
Throughout the [[Renaissance]], multiple factions of guards existed, as they were affiliated to either individual cities, families or people instead of armies. They bore unique colors, often along with the family or city crest.
[[File:NVS 5.png|thumb|250px|left|Four Pazzi guards]]
Guards for the [[House of Pazzi]] wore black caps, red sleeves with black and gold streaks, gold armor plates and the crest of the Pazzi. They could only be found in [[Florence]] and [[Tuscany]], during the height of the family's influence, until the end of the [[Pazzi conspiracy]].<ref name="AC2">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>
Guards serving the [[House of Medici]] wore yellow caps, yellow and white striped sleeves, steel grey armor plates, and the crest of the Medici. They were notably seen during and after the repression of the Pazzi conspiracy in Florence, as well as in [[San Gimignano]].<ref name="AC2" />
Guards of the [[House of Borgia]] wore dark red caps, black sleeves with dark red streaks, steel gray armor plates and the crest of the Borgia. They often accompanied [[Rodrigo Borgia]], and could also be found around [[Basilica di Santa Maria Novella|Santa Maria Novella]] during the Templar meeting, in the [[Cannaregio District]] of [[Venice]] when the Apple of Eden was being brought there,<ref name="AC2" /> or in Florence during the [[Bonfire of the Vanities]].<ref name="Bonfire">''Assassin's Creed II - ''[[Bonfire of the Vanities (DLC)|Bonfire of the Vanities]]''<nowiki/>''</ref> They were also charged with guarding [[banks]] housing the [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad's Codex|Codex]] pages.<ref name="AC2" />
[[File:Florentine Fiasco 1.png|thumb|250px|[[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] bypassing a line of Savonarola's guards]]
Guards of [[Girolamo Savonarola]] wore grey caps, and black sleeves and steel grey or silver armor plates. Instead of a coats of arms, they bore a small portrait of Savonarola himself, with three red beams shining down upon him. They were notably seen in Florence during the Bonfire of the Vanities, often repressing the Borgia guards attempting to take the [[Apple of Eden 6|Apple of Eden]].<ref name="Bonfire" />
Guards serving the city of [[Forlì]] wore green caps and sleeves with silver armor plates, as well as the coat of arms of said city.<ref>''Assassin's Creed II'' - ''[[Battle of Forlì (DLC)|Battle of Forlì]]''</ref>
The guards who served the city of Venice wore blue caps and blue, gold streaked sleeves, with gold armor plates bearing the coat of arms of the Italian city. The quality of their armor was significantly better than that of their counterparts in other cities, protecting them from much damage.<ref name="AC2" />
Those who served the [[Vaticano District|Vatican]] wore white caps, red and white sleeves, with yellow elements on their clothing, and the coat of arms of the city of [[Rome]]. Similarly to Venetian guards, their armor was more resilient than most.<ref name="AC2" />
[[File:Gatekeeper 2.png|thumb|250px|left|A contingent of French soldiers]]
Guards and soldiers of [[France]], loyal to King Louis XII, wore dark blue and white, as well as olive green. They were commonly seen in Rome after the alliance of [[Cesare Borgia]] and the French general [[Octavian de Valois]].<ref name="ACB">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>
At that time, French soldiers were stationed in either the main camp in [[Castra Praetoria]], or in military guard posts throughout the [[Campagna District]] of Rome. They remained in the city throughout [[Liberation of Rome|its liberation]], often fighting the [[mercenaries]] of the [[Assassins|Assassin]] condottiero, [[Bartolomeo d'Alviano]], until the assassination of Valois in August 1503.<ref name="ACB" />
Guards from the town of [[Viana]] in Spain wore yellowish-green armor. They notably participated in the [[Siege of Viana]], as they defended [[Viana Castle]] from [[John III of Navarre|King John III]]'s invading Navarrese troops, who wore red uniforms with yellow accents.<ref name="ACB" />
[[File:Honor lost won v 3.png|thumb|250px|Ottoman Elites in their camp]]
[[Constantinople]] in the Renaissance was divided into two distinct factions, the ruling [[Ottoman Empire|Ottomans]], and the remnants of the ancient [[Byzantine Empire]].<ref name="ACR">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''</ref>
Though Constantinople was held and controlled by the former, guards of the latter constantly fought for control. The region of Cappadocia, particularly [[Derinkuyu]], remained in Byzantine hands.<ref name="ACR" />
Ottoman guards wore green uniforms with red accents, though the Janissaries wore more multicolored robes, being loyal to Sultan Bayezid II and later to Sultan Selim I, while Byzantines wore small gray capes, and dark red and brown uniforms, and distinctly wore the black eagle crest of the Byzantine Empire's [[Manuel Palaiologos|Palaiologos]] Dynasty, displaying their loyalty to Manuel Palaiologos. The [[Varangians]] and [[Almogavars]] also wore lamellar cuirasses that appeared to be made of gold, or some similar golden metal, with a cross engraved into each lamella in their cuirasses.<ref name="ACR" />
===Ming dynasty===
[[File:Chronicles-China 5.jpg|left|thumb|250px|The Assassin [[Shao Jun]] locked in combat with guards]]
Chinese guards during the [[Ming dynasty]] in [[China]] equipped swords such as the pei dao, guandao and jian, spears and crossbows. They wore iron-plated, chain-linked armor and bronze helmets. Higher-ranked guards wore thicker armor or used wooden or iron shields.<ref name="China">''[[Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China]]''</ref>
Similar guards in Mongolia acted as chiefs and scouts, and could be differentiated from Chinese warriors through their different colored armor and thicker fur coats and clothing.<ref name="China" />
===18th century Caribbean===
During the early 18th century in the [[Caribbean]], there were different factions of soldiers. The first was the [[United Kingdom|British Empire]], loyal to [[George I of Great Britain|King George I]], who wore the easily-recognizable red coats shared by the Army and Navy alike, although there were several different styles of the coat. Regulars wore standard-length coats, agile guards wore shorter coats, and grenadiers wore long, heavier variants. Ship captains in the Navy wore dark blue coats with red trim and capes, and bicorn hats that denoted their rank.<ref name="AC4">''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''</ref>
The second faction was the [[Spain|Spanish Empire]], donning yellow outfits with a red or crimson trim, displaying loyalty to [[Philip V of Spain|King Philip V of Spain]]. Their outfits were similar in cut to those of the British Navy, however, Spanish captains wore longer coats in conjunction with an overcoat that covered the upper chest and shoulders, and wore different hats to the British captains.<ref name="AC4" />
The Portuguese Navy's sailors dressed in a similar fashion to their Spanish counterparts, although with primarily blue tones and a dark orange trim on their coats, displaying loyalty to [[John V of Portugal|King John V of Portugal]].<ref name="AC4" />
The French soldiers, stationed primarily on [[Haiti|Saint-Domingue]], wore mostly white coats with blue outlines displaying loyalty to [[Louis XV of France|King Louis XV]]. The [[Slavery|slave]] overseers they colluded with often wore brown or tan outfits.<ref>''Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag'' - ''[[Freedom Cry]]''</ref>
Roving bands of pirates, found primarily on Nassau and Principe while they were under pirate control and in smugglers' caves, wore mostly black leather clothes.
Another faction working prominently in the Caribbean was comprised of [[pirate hunter]]s. These self-sustaining soldiers wore mostly brown clothes, and pursued pirates who were [[Social Stealth#Notoriety system|notorious]] enough. Pirate hunter ships could be easily identified by their distinct crimson sails and red and black hulls.<ref name="AC4" />
The final group were the mercenaries. Often hired by empires as expandable soldiers, they wore clothing much like pirate hunters, composed mainly of ordinary brown. They were usually found on land, guarding treasures and assassination targets.<ref name="AC4" />
===Enlightenment Age===
[[File:ACIII-LexingtonandConcord 16.png|thumb|250px|[[Ratonhnhaké:ton|Connor]] commanding militia in firing lines]]
During the [[Seven Years' War]], guards were aligned with the [[British Army]] who were denoted by their red uniforms, displaying loyalty to [[George II of Great Britain|King George II]], or the [[French Army]] who were denoted by their white uniforms, displaying loyalty to King Louis XV. Assassin-affiliated [[gang]]s were denoted by their orange outfits.<ref name="ACRG">''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]''</ref>
During the [[American Revolutionary War]], guards were aligned with the British Army or [[Continental Army]], or worked as mercenaries. [[Firearm]]s also became the mainstay of most western armies. All soldiers were armed with flintlock muskets or pistols.<ref name="AC3">''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''</ref>
British regulars and militia were easily denoted by their bright red uniforms, loyal to [[George III of the United Kingdom|King George III]]. The British army also employed Hessian mercenaries such as the Jäger. German soldiers could be distinguished from their British counterparts by their green uniforms with red accents. Patriot soldiers, loyal to revolutionary leader [[George Washington]], wore mostly blue uniforms, except for Continental Grenadiers, who wore a khaki colored kilt.<ref name="AC3" />
In France, guards served the government, first and nominally loyal to [[Louis XVI of France|King Louis XVI]] and then loyal to First French Republic, first to President of the Committee of Public Safety [[Georges Danton]] (for a short period of time) and then to his successor [[Maximilien de Robespierre]], or acted on behalf of political extremists to cause trouble. The official guards wore blue, red and white uniforms, with bicorne hats. Their allies, the elite Swiss Guard, often dressed similarly, but were easily distinguishable by their ornate armor and helmets. The extremists wore a variety of drab civilian clothing, but always had red elements present.<ref name="ACU">''[[Assassin's Creed: Unity]]''</ref>
If the former saw someone being attacked or killed, they would attack the ones responsible, including the murderers in certain Crowd Events. On occasion, they would attack a nearby group of extremists if something suspicious occurred in their vicinity without [[Arno Dorian]] being visible.<ref name="ACU" />
The latter would fight vigilantes after exchanging taunts, and might fight the official guards if suspicions were raised and Arno was nowhere in sight. On occasion, they would also become suspicious of Arno without provocation and would attack him if he lingered in their view.<ref name="ACU" />
===Sikh Empire===
During the 19th century, the [[Amritsar]] [[Ranjit Singh's summer palace|summer palace]] was protected by Sikh guards. Wearing white clothes and turban, they were armed with sabers and riffle guns. In the city, the [[East India Company]] Army patrolled in the streets. Composed of British and Indians, the soldiers wore red military uniforms and tropical pith helmets.They attacked with sabers, pistols and riffles.<ref name=CCI>''[[Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India]]''</ref>
===Victorian London===
Guards in Victorian London were not so much guards as they were gang members or law enforcement agents. The agents of the [[Metropolitan Police Service]] wore blue uniforms and patrolled in the city on feet or in [[Wagon|wagons]], arresting anyone who committed a crime before them. Royal guards also served as law enforcement agent around [[Buckingham Palace]].<ref name="ACS">''[[Assassin's Creed: Syndicate]]''</ref>
The gang of the [[Blighters]] led by [[Maxwell Roth]], controlled the streets of London for the [[British Rite of the Templar Order|British Templar]] [[Grand Master of the Templar Order|Grand Master]] [[Crawford Starrick]]. Wearing red clothes, they occupied gang strongholds and children factories, smuggled merchandises and attacked citizens and members of the [[Rooks]], the gang affiliated to the [[British Brotherhood of Assassins|British Assassins]]. In each seven boroughts of London, the Blighters were led by a Templar. When the Assassins [[Jacob Frye|Jacob]] and [[Evie Frye]] weakened the power of the Blighters in a borought, it led to a gang war between the Rooks and the Blighters. When the Templar leader was dead, the Bligthers joined the ranks of the Rooks, reducing the number of the Blighters in the streets. If the Blighters encountered the Frye twins, it attacked them but as the reputation of the Assassins increased, the Blighters decided to don't attack them in the streets. The Assassins also reduced the lethality of the Blighters by sabotaging their weapons, wagons and poisonning the wells.<ref name="ACS"/>
Some Templars direcly led the Blighters or operated in the city. They wore long black coats with a white armband bearing the red cross of the Order. They attacked the Frye twins regardless of they reputation. The Assassins also sabotaging their pistols to explode during a fight.<ref name="ACS"/>
During the [[Autumn of Terror]], the rogue Assassin [[Jack the Ripper]] took the control of the Rooks and imposed fear through the borough of [[Whitechapel]] and the [[City of London]]. Leaving their green clothes for black ones, the members of the gang controlled [[brothel]]s and were trafficking opium and art pieces. The Rooks were sensitive to the fear tactics used by Evie and some of them flew the fight if they were frightened. During his attack on the [[Lambeth Asylum]], Jack liberated the inmates to create chaos in the building. After Evie arrested [[Jack's lieutenants]] and killed the Ripper, the Assassins recovered the control of the gang.<ref name="JTR">''Assassin's Creed: Syndicate - [[Jack the Ripper (DLC)]]''</ref>
During [[World War I]], the soldiers of the [[British Army]] patrolled in London in the case of an aerial [[Germany|German]] attack. They wore brown uniforms and were armed with batons and pistols.<ref name="ACS"/>

Ability removed from Brotherhood:

  1. Sprint Boost

Changes:

  • Disguise
  • Smoke Bomb
  • 2 crafting bombs into duration for Smoke Bomb upgrades the ability only to a radius of 3.8m, inferior to that of the Strong Smoke Bomb of Brotherhood with a range of 4m
  • Hidden Gun
  • Basic Hidden Gun has had its aiming time nerfed from 1.5 seconds to 2 seconds but its accuracy buffed from 10% to 30% when fired without aiming.
  • Firecrackers
  • Firecrackers had its cooldown massively nerfed from 45 seconds to 75 seconds. Even with 2 crafting points into cooldown, it is still at 60 seconds.
  • Its range was also nerfed, from 6 meters to 5 meters. It takes 2 crafting points to bring it back up to the former base range.
  • Its base duration also got hit, dropping from 6 seconds to 4 seconds. Even with 2 crafting points into duration, it lasts only 5 seconds.
  • Morph
  • Throwing Knives
  • Throwing knives got a buff, with its slow effect going up from 10% to 20%.

  • They resolved my confusion in Brotherhood about the difference between duration vs. range for this ability when its range is dependent on its duration; the "range" parameter is instead replaced by "accuracy".
  • Decoy
  • Mute
  • Buff to its base duration from 1.5 seconds to 2.1 seconds
  • Poison
  • Surprisingly no change

History

Classical antiquity

Classical Greece

During the Peloponnesian War, Greece was divided in two major factions: the Delian League, led by Athens, and the Peloponnesian League, led by Sparta. The soldiers of the Delian League wore armor with blue tones and had more proficient archers while the Peloponnesian League wore armor with red tones and had better melee fighters.[1]

One of the most important was the Cult of Kosmos, a secret organization who wanted to control Greece and had members in the Delian and the Peloponnesian Leagues. They also had their own guards wearing silver armors with masked helmets. The Heroes of the Cult were some of the strongest fighters of the cult and the Gods of the Aegean Sea were their weapons on seas.[1]

Ptolemaic Egypt

During the 1st century BCE, Lower and Upper Egypt was under the control of the army of the Ptolemaic dynasty. Their army was composed of Greeks and Egyptians who wore light armors under their tunics. They patrolled in the different cities, military camps and roads of Egypt. The Army of the Roman Republic controlled the Cyrenaica and the Sinai. They wore red tunics with leather and iron armors. During the Alexandrine Civil War, the two armies fought for the control of Egypt. They also tracked rebels who questioned their authority.[2] When the member of the Order of the Ancients Medunamun took the control of Siwa, he had his own guards, wearing white and red tunics and oppressing the citizens of the oasis. The Medjay Bayek fought these men and their control, ultimately killing Medunamun.[2] In the different realms of the afterlife, the dead were protected by the Afterlife Guardians, black and golden anthropomorphic creatures with a head of a jackal. If someone who wasn't dead entered the afterlife, the guardians attacked them.[2]

High Middle Ages

Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad fighting several Crusaders

During the Third Crusade, soldiers wore the armor and colors of either Saracens or Crusaders, with the latter subdivided into the personal guards of King Richard I of England, or the Knights Templar, Hospitalier, and Teutonic.[3]

Saracens were loyal to Sultan Saladin of Egypt and Syria and to Turkish Sultan Kilij Arslan II and spoke Turkish or Arabic, while Crusaders were loyal to King Richard I of England, King Philip II of France and Emperor Frederick Barbarossa of Germany and spoke mostly English, with some Captains and Sergeants speaking French or German. Templar Knights, however, spoke all of the dialects.[3]

Saracens wore lamellar armor, and either spangenhelms or turbans. All Crusaders wore surcoats and chainmail, while some also wore spangenhelms or great helms.[3]

Altaïr fighting Talal's personal guard

The colors of Crusader surcoats differed with their affiliation, with King Richard's personal guard wearing red and white, Templars wearing white with red crosses, Hospitaliers wearing black with white crosses, and Teutonics wearing white with black crosses.[3]

Guards for several smaller factions or individuals possessed their own uniforms as well, such as the black, gold-striped clothes of Talal's men, or the short white robes and grey hoods of the guards of Masyaf.[3]

Renaissance

Throughout the Renaissance, multiple factions of guards existed, as they were affiliated to either individual cities, families or people instead of armies. They bore unique colors, often along with the family or city crest.

Four Pazzi guards

Guards for the House of Pazzi wore black caps, red sleeves with black and gold streaks, gold armor plates and the crest of the Pazzi. They could only be found in Florence and Tuscany, during the height of the family's influence, until the end of the Pazzi conspiracy.[4]

Guards serving the House of Medici wore yellow caps, yellow and white striped sleeves, steel grey armor plates, and the crest of the Medici. They were notably seen during and after the repression of the Pazzi conspiracy in Florence, as well as in San Gimignano.[4]

Guards of the House of Borgia wore dark red caps, black sleeves with dark red streaks, steel gray armor plates and the crest of the Borgia. They often accompanied Rodrigo Borgia, and could also be found around Santa Maria Novella during the Templar meeting, in the Cannaregio District of Venice when the Apple of Eden was being brought there,[4] or in Florence during the Bonfire of the Vanities.[5] They were also charged with guarding banks housing the Codex pages.[4]

Ezio Auditore da Firenze bypassing a line of Savonarola's guards

Guards of Girolamo Savonarola wore grey caps, and black sleeves and steel grey or silver armor plates. Instead of a coats of arms, they bore a small portrait of Savonarola himself, with three red beams shining down upon him. They were notably seen in Florence during the Bonfire of the Vanities, often repressing the Borgia guards attempting to take the Apple of Eden.[5]

Guards serving the city of Forlì wore green caps and sleeves with silver armor plates, as well as the coat of arms of said city.[6]

The guards who served the city of Venice wore blue caps and blue, gold streaked sleeves, with gold armor plates bearing the coat of arms of the Italian city. The quality of their armor was significantly better than that of their counterparts in other cities, protecting them from much damage.[4]

Those who served the Vatican wore white caps, red and white sleeves, with yellow elements on their clothing, and the coat of arms of the city of Rome. Similarly to Venetian guards, their armor was more resilient than most.[4]

A contingent of French soldiers

Guards and soldiers of France, loyal to King Louis XII, wore dark blue and white, as well as olive green. They were commonly seen in Rome after the alliance of Cesare Borgia and the French general Octavian de Valois.[7]

At that time, French soldiers were stationed in either the main camp in Castra Praetoria, or in military guard posts throughout the Campagna District of Rome. They remained in the city throughout its liberation, often fighting the mercenaries of the Assassin condottiero, Bartolomeo d'Alviano, until the assassination of Valois in August 1503.[7]

Guards from the town of Viana in Spain wore yellowish-green armor. They notably participated in the Siege of Viana, as they defended Viana Castle from King John III's invading Navarrese troops, who wore red uniforms with yellow accents.[7]

Ottoman Elites in their camp

Constantinople in the Renaissance was divided into two distinct factions, the ruling Ottomans, and the remnants of the ancient Byzantine Empire.[8]

Though Constantinople was held and controlled by the former, guards of the latter constantly fought for control. The region of Cappadocia, particularly Derinkuyu, remained in Byzantine hands.[8]

Ottoman guards wore green uniforms with red accents, though the Janissaries wore more multicolored robes, being loyal to Sultan Bayezid II and later to Sultan Selim I, while Byzantines wore small gray capes, and dark red and brown uniforms, and distinctly wore the black eagle crest of the Byzantine Empire's Palaiologos Dynasty, displaying their loyalty to Manuel Palaiologos. The Varangians and Almogavars also wore lamellar cuirasses that appeared to be made of gold, or some similar golden metal, with a cross engraved into each lamella in their cuirasses.[8]

Ming dynasty

The Assassin Shao Jun locked in combat with guards

Chinese guards during the Ming dynasty in China equipped swords such as the pei dao, guandao and jian, spears and crossbows. They wore iron-plated, chain-linked armor and bronze helmets. Higher-ranked guards wore thicker armor or used wooden or iron shields.[9]

Similar guards in Mongolia acted as chiefs and scouts, and could be differentiated from Chinese warriors through their different colored armor and thicker fur coats and clothing.[9]

18th century Caribbean

During the early 18th century in the Caribbean, there were different factions of soldiers. The first was the British Empire, loyal to King George I, who wore the easily-recognizable red coats shared by the Army and Navy alike, although there were several different styles of the coat. Regulars wore standard-length coats, agile guards wore shorter coats, and grenadiers wore long, heavier variants. Ship captains in the Navy wore dark blue coats with red trim and capes, and bicorn hats that denoted their rank.[10]

The second faction was the Spanish Empire, donning yellow outfits with a red or crimson trim, displaying loyalty to King Philip V of Spain. Their outfits were similar in cut to those of the British Navy, however, Spanish captains wore longer coats in conjunction with an overcoat that covered the upper chest and shoulders, and wore different hats to the British captains.[10]

The Portuguese Navy's sailors dressed in a similar fashion to their Spanish counterparts, although with primarily blue tones and a dark orange trim on their coats, displaying loyalty to King John V of Portugal.[10]

The French soldiers, stationed primarily on Saint-Domingue, wore mostly white coats with blue outlines displaying loyalty to King Louis XV. The slave overseers they colluded with often wore brown or tan outfits.[11]

Roving bands of pirates, found primarily on Nassau and Principe while they were under pirate control and in smugglers' caves, wore mostly black leather clothes.

Another faction working prominently in the Caribbean was comprised of pirate hunters. These self-sustaining soldiers wore mostly brown clothes, and pursued pirates who were notorious enough. Pirate hunter ships could be easily identified by their distinct crimson sails and red and black hulls.[10]

The final group were the mercenaries. Often hired by empires as expandable soldiers, they wore clothing much like pirate hunters, composed mainly of ordinary brown. They were usually found on land, guarding treasures and assassination targets.[10]

Enlightenment Age

Connor commanding militia in firing lines

During the Seven Years' War, guards were aligned with the British Army who were denoted by their red uniforms, displaying loyalty to King George II, or the French Army who were denoted by their white uniforms, displaying loyalty to King Louis XV. Assassin-affiliated gangs were denoted by their orange outfits.[12]

During the American Revolutionary War, guards were aligned with the British Army or Continental Army, or worked as mercenaries. Firearms also became the mainstay of most western armies. All soldiers were armed with flintlock muskets or pistols.[13]

British regulars and militia were easily denoted by their bright red uniforms, loyal to King George III. The British army also employed Hessian mercenaries such as the Jäger. German soldiers could be distinguished from their British counterparts by their green uniforms with red accents. Patriot soldiers, loyal to revolutionary leader George Washington, wore mostly blue uniforms, except for Continental Grenadiers, who wore a khaki colored kilt.[13]

In France, guards served the government, first and nominally loyal to King Louis XVI and then loyal to First French Republic, first to President of the Committee of Public Safety Georges Danton (for a short period of time) and then to his successor Maximilien de Robespierre, or acted on behalf of political extremists to cause trouble. The official guards wore blue, red and white uniforms, with bicorne hats. Their allies, the elite Swiss Guard, often dressed similarly, but were easily distinguishable by their ornate armor and helmets. The extremists wore a variety of drab civilian clothing, but always had red elements present.[14]

If the former saw someone being attacked or killed, they would attack the ones responsible, including the murderers in certain Crowd Events. On occasion, they would attack a nearby group of extremists if something suspicious occurred in their vicinity without Arno Dorian being visible.[14]

The latter would fight vigilantes after exchanging taunts, and might fight the official guards if suspicions were raised and Arno was nowhere in sight. On occasion, they would also become suspicious of Arno without provocation and would attack him if he lingered in their view.[14]

Sikh Empire

During the 19th century, the Amritsar summer palace was protected by Sikh guards. Wearing white clothes and turban, they were armed with sabers and riffle guns. In the city, the East India Company Army patrolled in the streets. Composed of British and Indians, the soldiers wore red military uniforms and tropical pith helmets.They attacked with sabers, pistols and riffles.[15]

Victorian London

Guards in Victorian London were not so much guards as they were gang members or law enforcement agents. The agents of the Metropolitan Police Service wore blue uniforms and patrolled in the city on feet or in wagons, arresting anyone who committed a crime before them. Royal guards also served as law enforcement agent around Buckingham Palace.[16]

The gang of the Blighters led by Maxwell Roth, controlled the streets of London for the British Templar Grand Master Crawford Starrick. Wearing red clothes, they occupied gang strongholds and children factories, smuggled merchandises and attacked citizens and members of the Rooks, the gang affiliated to the British Assassins. In each seven boroughts of London, the Blighters were led by a Templar. When the Assassins Jacob and Evie Frye weakened the power of the Blighters in a borought, it led to a gang war between the Rooks and the Blighters. When the Templar leader was dead, the Bligthers joined the ranks of the Rooks, reducing the number of the Blighters in the streets. If the Blighters encountered the Frye twins, it attacked them but as the reputation of the Assassins increased, the Blighters decided to don't attack them in the streets. The Assassins also reduced the lethality of the Blighters by sabotaging their weapons, wagons and poisonning the wells.[16]

Some Templars direcly led the Blighters or operated in the city. They wore long black coats with a white armband bearing the red cross of the Order. They attacked the Frye twins regardless of they reputation. The Assassins also sabotaging their pistols to explode during a fight.[16]

During the Autumn of Terror, the rogue Assassin Jack the Ripper took the control of the Rooks and imposed fear through the borough of Whitechapel and the City of London. Leaving their green clothes for black ones, the members of the gang controlled brothels and were trafficking opium and art pieces. The Rooks were sensitive to the fear tactics used by Evie and some of them flew the fight if they were frightened. During his attack on the Lambeth Asylum, Jack liberated the inmates to create chaos in the building. After Evie arrested Jack's lieutenants and killed the Ripper, the Assassins recovered the control of the gang.[17]

During World War I, the soldiers of the British Army patrolled in London in the case of an aerial German attack. They wore brown uniforms and were armed with batons and pistols.[16]
