War Plans (Machine Gun)
- "Here. The names of the Templars overseeing their construction."
- ―Leonardo giving Ezio a list of the Templar Overseers.[src]
War Plans were four memories that took place before each of the War Machines memories, and were required to obtain the locations to begin them.
Description
In order to aid with the destruction of his machines, Leonardo da Vinci supplied Ezio Auditore da Firenze with a list detailing the names of the Templars overseeing their construction.
To discover the location of the machines themselves, Ezio had to kill the Papal Guard in charge, who was always escorted by one or more groups of guards. Once the Templar was dead, the plans' mission would be finished, unlocking the machine's main mission.
