Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy

Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy is a Facebook game that was released in 2010.

Players are recruits for Abstergo Industries who relive the genetic memories of other individuals, most of them Assassins, through a machine known as the DDS (Data Dump Scanner). Presumably, the DDS is similar to an Animus, but can allow a person to relive the memory of someone who is not related to them.

Currently, there are three memory sets available: "Italian Wars", "Rome" (released November 15, 2010) and "Holidays" (released December 2010).

Italian Wars

Summary: Italian Wars Event Chart

Chapter 1

Main article: Chapter 1 - Bartolomeo d'Alviano

Welcome to the DDS Program. Please remain still while we synchronize your first assignment.

In 1509 CE, the Battle of Agnadello dealt a devastating blow to the Venetian army. You will relive this battle through the eyes and mind of one of its captains, Bartolomeo d'Alviano. Please report any anomalies you encounter.

Chapter 2

Main article: Chapter 2 - Francesco Vecellio

You may feel mild discomfort during synchronization. This is normal. It is important to maintain your concentration.

History places Niccolò di Pitigliano's death in Lonigo, Italy in the year 1510 CE. Our data supports this fact. But the circumstances of his death require further investigation. Please take notes and report your findings.

Chapter 3

Main article: Chapter 3 - Mario Auditore

We are now synchronizing the DDS. For your safety, please report any nosebleeds, vertigo, nausea, or hallucinations.

Land-hungry Florence sought possession of the walled city of Monteriggioni, but it held strong for years under the guidance of the Auditore family. You will dissect the memories of Mario Auditore, who struggled to keep his city safe through the latter half of the 15th century.

Chapter 4

Main article: Chapter 4 - Perotto Calderon

While we prepare to synchronize, please listen to the following questions. Be sure to report any difficulties you have answering. What is your name? Where do you live? What year is it?

We have a unique window into the lives and secrets of the infamous Borgia family. The DDS has recovered the memories of one of their trusted couriers, Perotto Calderon. Your task is to find out exactly what he discovered.

Rome

Chapter 1

Main article: Chapter 1 - Fiora Cavazza

Please wait a moment while we synchronize the DDS. You may find yourself daydreaming more often and sleeping less. This is a normal side effect of the program.

Many of Rome's biggest names spent their leisure time indulging in its many brothels. They were ideal information hubs for those eager to scale the social ladder. Fiora Cavazza was one such courtesan. Investigate her contacts; find out who she knew, and what she did with that knowledge.

Chapter 2

Main article: Chapter 2 - Giovanni Borgia

The DDS is going to try to synchronize you with the memories of a child. This may be confusing for you at first, as you will lose your ability to convey complex thought, but your mind should quickly adapt.

The truth behind the real parents of Giovanni Borgia, the "Child of Rome," has long baffled historians. But even more perplexing is Giovanni's insignificant life that followed. How does one stand right in the center of the hurricane and remain untouched? Your task is to learn what history has hidden from us.

Chapter 3

Main article: Chapter 3 - Francesco Vecellio

Now synching the DDS system. We're going to take a moment to test your emotional range. Please focus on a fond memory. Good. Now focus on a painful memory. Perfect.

Just prior to the death of Pope Alexander VI, Cesare Borgia began to lose his grip on Rome. Though you won't find any mention of it in the history books, we suspect a powerful underground movement worked to overthrow the corrupt dynasty. See what you can learn.

Chapter 4

Main article: Chapter 4 - Giovanni Borgia

Preparing to synchronize. Note that we are experiencing a small system glitch that may cause a subtle ringing in your ears. It should pass as you enter the memory.

The new world was plundered in the 15th Century. Explorers became conquerors. La Noche Triste, or the Night of Sorrows, was a bloody uprising between the Aztecs and the Spanish conquistadors. Hernán Cortés himself was driven from Tenochtitlan. Firsthand reports of the massacre present opposing perspectives. Find the truth.

Holidays

Unlike other memory sets, the memories within a "Holidays" chapter feature different protagonists, though all are centered around events during a single date. Further chapters are to be released in 2011.

Mail

After completing surveys, Abstergo or Erudito may send you e-mails in reaction to your answers. The following are the currently known e-mails:

Entry Survey

From:	Abstergo Industries
To:	Abstergo recruit
Date/Time:	[relative]
Subject:	Your answer to "HISTORY"
In the quiz, we stated: "History is accurate." You responded: "Historians pride themselves on unbiased accuracy." Certainly many historians strive for accuracy, but how can we put faith in documents written before we were born? How can we trust that personal opinion and prejudice has been removed from the material? This is why you are so important to our project. By reliving actual memories, you will help us uncover the truth. Together, our team will rewrite history.

From:	Abstergo Industries
To:	Abstergo recruit
Date/Time:	[relative]
Subject:	Your answer to "HISTORY"
In the quiz, we stated: "History is accurate." You responded: "History is only as accurate as the author of the book." What if you could meet the author of the book? Observe a battle from either side? This is why you are so important to our project. By reliving actual memories, you will help us uncover the truth. Together, our team will rewrite history.

From:	Abstergo Industries
To:	Abstergo recruit
Date/Time:	[relative]
Subject:	Your answer to "HISTORY"
In the quiz, we stated: "History is accurate." You responded: "We should worry about the future." No doubt you've heard George Santayana's legendary quote - "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." We believe that reliving the past and uncovering the truth will help us create a better future. Together, our team will experience new perspectives within historical events. Together, we will rewrite history.

From:	Abstergo Industries
To:	Abstergo recruit
Date/Time:	[relative]
Subject:	Your answer to "HISTORY"
In the quiz, we stated: "History is accurate." You responded: "I've never been interested in history." Your response is honest, but we're confident you will soon change your mind. You'll find a great difference between viewing history through a stuffy textbook and experiencing it through the eyes of a participant. Together, our team will experience new perspectives within historical events. Together, we will rewrite history.

After Chapter 1

From:	Erudito
To:	Abstergo recruit
Date/Time:	[relative]
Subject:	You need to start playing it safe
Careful... I'm all for sticking it to Abstergo, but open defiance will get you cut off.

(Note: The following message is sent after responding to the statement "I have Italian ancestors." by offering Abstergo a list of your documented genealogy.)

From:	Erudito
To:	Abstergo recruit
Date/Time:	[relative]
Subject:	Yes, there are wrong answers
You offered Abstergo a list of your ancestors? I'd avoid sending them that list, if I were you. Haven't you wondered where they farm memories for the DDS?

From:	Abstergo Industries
To:	Abstergo recruit
Date/Time:	[relative]
Subject:	Your answer to "ANCESTRY"
In the quiz, we stated: "I have Italian ancestors." You responded: "I have never researched my genealogy." We can help you. If you visit the Abstergo offices in your area, our colleagues will provide you with a quick and relatively painless genetic test. As we are currently proving, each person contains valuable knowledge passed along through genetic memory. Perhaps you even hold within you answers to some of history's greatest mysteries.

From:	Abstergo Industries
To:	Abstergo recruit
Date/Time:	[relative]
Subject:	Your answer to "ANCESTRY"
In the quiz, we stated: "I have Italian ancestors." You responded: "Not that I know of." Perhaps it's something you should research. As we are currently proving, each person contains valuable knowledge passed along through genetic memory. Perhaps you even hold within you answers to some of history's greatest mysteries.

After Chapter 2

From:	Abstergo Industries
To:	Abstergo recruit
Date/Time:	[relative]
Subject:	Your answer to "INFLUENCE"
In the quiz, we stated: "People are easily manipulated." You responded: "History has proven that statement time and again." Correct. As you explore the DDS, you will confirm it to be a constant historical truth. Understanding this offers a more realistic view of the world today. Why does "manipulate" need to have such a negative connotation? Why can't the followers follow the great into greatness?

(Note: The following message is sent after responding to the "INFLUENCE" question by saying that if they suspect you of being easily manipulated, then they are wrong.)

From:	Erudito
To:	Abstergo recruit
Date/Time:	[relative]
Subject:	You'd be surprised...
Are you sure you're not being manipulated? None of us are free from the influence of others. You just need to make sure you're listening to the right ones.

(Note: The following message is sent after responding to the "INFLUENCE" question by saying that you generally get what you want from people.)

From:	Erudito
To:	Abstergo recruit
Date/Time:	[relative]
Subject:	You won't impress them
You say you generally get what you want from people. That's a confident statement, almost a challenge. You may believe Abstergo is looking for such confidence. No. They're looking for servants.

(Note: The following message is sent after responding to the "INFLUENCE" question by saying that you are not good at manipulating people.)

From:	Erudito
To:	Abstergo recruit
Date/Time:	[relative]
Subject:	Well played?
Are you really a poor manipulator or did you just answer that way to deceive Abstergo? Either way, you're flying below the radar, which is a good thing.

After Chapter 3

(Note: The following message is sent after responding to the "EMPATHY" question with "Whose side do you want me to take?")

From:	Erudito
To:	Abstergo recruit
Date/Time:	[relative]
Subject:	Hello?
Seriously? You asked them which side to take? Either you're making fun of them (not wise) or they owe you an "Abstergo's #1 Buttkisser" mug for your desk.

From:	Abstergo Industries
To:	Abstergo recruit
Date/Time:	[relative]
Subject:	Your answer to "EMPATHY"
In the quiz, we stated: "You find yourself taking the side of the subject in each memory." You responded: "It depends on the subject." It's only natural you'd empathize with the subjects behind the memories and those with a stronger synch will be harder to resist. You're viewing the events through one perspective, one that is often convinced it is doing the right thing. I wonder how you would feel if we sent you the memories of that same subject's rival for review.

From:	Abstergo Industries
To:	Abstergo recruit
Date/Time:	[relative]
Subject:	Your answer to "EMPATHY"
In the quiz, we stated: "You find yourself taking the side of the subject in each memory." You responded: "It's hard to see both sides of the story." An astute observation. It's rare to find a memory where the subject cannot wholeheartedly justify his actions. DDS users are easily influenced by the induced fugue state, but your clear vision is impressive.

From:	Abstergo Industries
To:	Abstergo recruit
Date/Time:	[relative]
Subject:	Your answer to "EMPATHY"
In the quiz, we stated: "You find yourself taking the side of the subject in each memory." You responded: "No. I'm simply observing their actions. I don't empathize." It's interesting that you do not feel any empathy during your memory reviews. Your file tells us you passed our test criteria to ensure a solid link with the DDS, so the synchronization should be making an impact. I will forward your report to our engineers to see if we can increase the signal strength.

After Chapter 4

(Note: The following message is sent after responding to the question "What do you know about Erudito?" with "Erudito?". Erudito is pleased that you pretended not to know about him.)

From:	Erudito
To:	Abstergo recruit
Date/Time:	[relative]
Subject:	No Subject
:)

From:	Abstergo Industries
To:	Abstergo recruit
Date/Time:	[relative]
Subject:	Your answer to "INTRUDER"
In the quiz, we asked: "What do you know about Erudito?" You responded: "He seems to know an awful lot about your subject matter." First, we must stress the dangers of associating with outside connections that force their way into the DDS system. Not only do you risk termination of your contract with us, but you may force us to pursue legal options. You have been a tremendous asset to our program, but you must understand that contact with this "Erudito" user will not be tolerated.

From:	Abstergo Industries
To:	Abstergo recruit
Date/Time:	[relative]
Subject:	Your answer to "INTRUDER"
In the quiz, we asked: "What do you know about Erudito?" You responded: "You can follow up through email. I am willing to submit a full report if you request one." Thank you for your offer to file a report on "Erudito." Please be thorough. If we can track his patterns, we can begin to block his access to the DDS system and continue our work without further interruptions.

(Note: The following message is sent after responding to the question "What do you know about Erudito?" with "I've already filed a full report on him.")

From:	Erudito
To:	Abstergo recruit
Date/Time:	[relative]
Subject:	Someone's been naughty...
You reported me? That stings. Not that it really matters... I am miles ahead of these goons. I'm going to have to work harder to open your eyes, aren't I?

Promotional Codes

Promotional Code screen.

‎Entering 7D05C12C under the Special Code section will give you an item in your Lockbox called Erudito's Network, which is marked with the description "Work for Abstergo, report to us." It cannot be bought or sold, and at random intervals, it will cause Erudito to "assist" you with either an experience boost, a florin boost, an increased chance for chance items, an increased chance for mnemonics, or an increased item output during crafting.

By entering VGVTC8GX, you are granted an Abstergo Insider badge with the description "Work those connections." The Insider Badge increases your chances to win in Skirmishes.

Linking

After linking Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood with a Uplay account, you will be able train your Assassin recruits from within Project Legacy. Doing so will also unlock certain events within Project Legacy itself.

Finding and combining the "Auditore Trail" Mnemonic Set will unlock Brotherhood content, and buying certain landmarks within both Project Legacy and Brotherhood (such as the Colosseo) will net you florins in both games.

Unlockables in Brotherhood

Name	How to obtain
Venetian Cape	Complete "Auditore Trail" mnemonic set.
Florentine Cape	Complete "Auditore Trail" mnemonic set.

Uplay

As of December 8, 2010, Uplay actions and rewards became available for Project Legacy.

The Uplay connectivity of Project Legacy would presumably allow players to avail of more of the Uplay rewards in Brotherhood, as Brotherhood has a greater number of rewards than it has in-game Units to be earned. However, there are an equal amount of points for rewards and actions for Project Legacy; though the points can still be spent on rewards in Brotherhood instead, if one so chooses.

Actions

Icon	Name	Description	Reward
	Initiation	Access and execute an event of the 2nd chapters of the Italians Wars set, the memory of Francesco Vecellio.	5U
	Evangelist	Add 5 new friends to your network.	10U
