It would be cool to finally have a game set in New Holland (Colonial Australia) it could be set from 1788-1828 In that time it had tons of interesting events such as the first fleet arriving in 1788, Sydney cove Being established,Exploits of Governor Arthur Phillip,as well a Aboriginal wars with the white men, the battle of Castle hill in 1800, the Rum rebellion from 1807-1810 (which was an overthrown of the corrupt governor William Bligh), as well as seeing the exploits of Governor Lachlan Macquarie. In that time the protagionest will meet famous people in history such as John and Mary Macaurther, as well as Captain James cook, Governor Arthur Phillip, William Bligh and Lachlan Macquarie etc Sydney will change throw out the setting in the beginning it will be very much bush land, trees and farmland and a collection of small settlements. And 2 quarters through it will be a flourishing city. Now a mechanic I would like to see return from AC3 will be a frontier like place called the Bushlands or maybe the Australian frontier later. With will have a collection of small settlements scattered and will have the settlements of Green hills (Winsdor), Castle hill, Penrith and Bathurst. As well as land for hunting Animals as well as trees to parkour on. Now I can talk about my favourite part the protagionest he will be an outsider kind of like Connor in a sense, he will be half Aboriginal half British. His birth name is Anambee but when he joins the Assassin order he will adopt his fathers name Alister. I even have a theory of how this could work. He will be born in late 1788 and join the assassins at a young age his Mentor will be John MacArthur. Being half aboriginal it can open up the weapons he can use such as spears, boomarangs, Aboriginee war swords, stone Axe as well as digging tools and other tools. He will be able to use European weapons as well such as muskets, flintlock pistols, swords and daggers as well as the ideal hidden blade I live in Sydney myself and this sudden interest in colonial Sydney, I could imagine this as an interesting setting :) let me know what you think
