Size

Francois Pelland said in this interview around 2:30 that the size of the Frontier is 2.5 the size of Rome. I know there are other sources saying that it's actually 1.5, so I'm not really sure which one should be in the article. It's possible that Francois simply made an error.

Could be an oversight... Supreme Master Assassin^{O Mentoras} 17:47, October 15, 2012 (UTC)

What we know is the real location of the Frontier ? I saw that this was the zone between Boston and New York while there are 190 miles of between the 2 cities. I also saw that Valley Forge was in the Frontier while it is in Pensylvania.Omaha 3945 (talk) 16:01, October 29, 2012 (UTC)

Notoriety

It is possible to reset it by heading to Valley Forge. In very rare casesm it is possible to get the level to 2 or 3ΦΣΩ 21:13, February 17, 2014 (UTC)

Notoriety doesn't really reset in Valley Forge; it reappears whenever you leave the area. It's just a notoriety-free zone because you have to go there to meet Washington a few times. Can you imagine what would happen if Connor would just kill the entire Army right then and there just to go talk to the General? Not exactly the best outcome for the Patriots. 

And as for the Level 2 and 3, it's just like any other area in New York or Boston - kill enough guards and you'll attract more attention - but there's no way of lowering it. You have to either travel to one of the cities and lower it there, or die and have it reset. MasterKenway (talk) 05:39, April 22, 2014 (UTC)

False, you can just fast travel across the Frontier itself to a general store, fort, or harbormaster there, and the notoriety will be removed. Same way it works in cities. Fast travel means instant notoriety wipe. --Kainzorus Prime ^{Walkie-talkie} 10:25, April 22, 2014 (UTC)

I didn't know that... interesting. Going to go try it right now. Thanks. MasterKenway (talk) 18:28, April 22, 2014 (UTC)

Perspective

The perspective here seems to be written in a partial in animus/out of animus view. We need to pick a lane. I am a proponent of writing this as a function of the animus as per River Valley (which could still use some work imo), but feel this page would be easier than that one to write from the perspective of outside the animus as the actual historical frontier region of Colonial America as the in game term is applicable to the region depicted while Rogue's was not.

We've talked about this before on Discord. I strongly oppose writing this from an Animus perspective and resolutely believe this should be written as being about the actual American frontier. We only begin to consider the Animus gamification angle when we cannot approach the topic from the perspective of reality within universe. We don't write about the Hidden Blade as an Animus simulation of a real weapon; we shouldn't write about the Frontier as an Animus simulation of the real American frontier. In any case, I remember we reached a compromise before that you or Noah would get your way with "River Valley" and leave "Frontier" to me. Sol Pacificus^(Cyfiero) 09:15, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

My memory is like a sieve. I honestly didn't remember that. I remember talking about the River Valley but us also coming to a decision on Frontier slipped my mind. Would we link it to the Colonial section of the page you posted or the colonial section of the general frontier page? Lacrossedeamon (talk) 10:01, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
