AC in the Far East 1800s (Why?)

One thing many AC fans suggest is an Eastern setting. Ubisoft never even set an assassin's foot there for gamers to see, yet. Ubisoft previously stated a game in Japan would suck. This also can relate to us thinking their will never be an AC game in East Asia. Why?

Well to make it sound good, why don't we add some Western influence to this Eastern setting. Picture East Asia, mid-1800s:

• Qing Dynasty China in state of turmoil. Chinese Warlords fight asian turf wars against each other in the name of the Empire, and the Emperor is still staring at the wonders brought over by Western Templars, who are secretly aiding the East. People cannot decide whether to allow Western influence or not. The Assassins of course, don't, because this will only mean China being conquered by the highly Templar-influenced West, and will make it easier for more Templars to arrive, thus making things tough for the Assassins. However many Templar warlords have caused enough trouble, so that the Assassin's must flee West of China, as far as Tibet.
• South of China is already in the state of much Western influence; being weaker than the Templar jackpot, China. Their are Dutch, Spanish, Portugeuse, and so many perfect places for Western Templars to be.
• Japan also contains great trade routes and opportunities for the West, and great opportunities for Templars. No, their won't be ninjas or samurais as the central focus, but more of a naval setting, like ACIV: Black Flag's little islands.
• Indonesian Archipelago is basically serves the same as "South of China", but contains a perfect land for pirates, but also the ever gold-eyed Spanish. At this age their are alot of pirates in the Far East, definitely more than the West. This is because pirates like to seize booty from the apparently growing rush of "dirty, rich Western barbarians". Their even China's version of A. Bonny those female buccaneers, notorious Ching Shih. Don't forget Singapore is almost like Nassau at the time.

The Story

Oh don't sigh Ubisoft, because this story doesn't start with kung fu.
