Trivia

• The achievement/trophy of Assassin's Creed II, "Victory lies in preparation" was voted by the community on the Ubisoft's official forums among others:
  • The taste of revenge - Kill X Brutes (heavy guard)
  • Weapon Master - Use all weapons at least once
  • Mighty traveler - Travel X kilometers within the game
• "Perfect Harmony" is a reference to Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder's "Ebony and Ivory". It became an achievement because game designer Patrick Plourde was "obsessed with the song".
