(Assassin's Creed - With a Twist)
This map is a basic map of the civil war. Dark blue standing for the Union, light blue standing for the border states,, and red for the Confederates, and white standing for territories not belonging to the U.S quite yet.
During the civil war, most southern states decided to succeed from the Union. They had their reasons, one being that they wanted slavery to be legalized, and two that they wanted to be their own country because they wanted slaver. The Union, on the other hand, would not stand for this. The Confederates started the Civil War by storming Fort Sumter, angering the Union. Though President Lincoln did not really want to go to war, he was forced into it by this attack.
This is where the twist is set in. The Assassins sided with the Union, wanting equality for all races, while the Templars sided with the Confederacy. The Assassins have developed the will to win this war just as much as the Templars, causing the ultimate feud to erupt from the flames of battle. Though the Assassins are not yet known to the Union Government, they continue to destroy plans of the Confederates, wreaking havoc for the Confederate President Davis. They have already stricken a critical blow to the Confederates by assisting the slaves by helping them cross to the Union. The Templars have
The Templars have the advantage here, fighting in familiar territory. They also fight hard to gain alliances with other countries, such as France, in this war. Though they have less industry, they have traditional military training that gives them a huge bonus on the ground. The Templars have a large disadvantage, though, of not having a good naval army. The Templars have been hunting down Assassin hideouts and burning them to the ground, occasionally killing Master Assassins in the event.
The Assassins, on the other hand, have an amazing naval army. Being a larger area, they also have a larger population willing to fight in the war. Unfortunately, they are fighting in unfamiliar territory, and have poor military skills as far as fighting goes. They have already stricken a critical blow to the Confederates by assisting the slaves by helping them cross to the Union. The Templars have begun to strike back by capturing some of the Assassins found with these slaves. Some killed, some tortured, the Assassins are in danger of being killed off. As long as captured Assassins say nothing, it is hoped that they will stay safe.
Assassin Squads:
There are four Assassin Squads, each with a specialty in combat. Not all squads get along though, so you better be careful who you mess with.
Squad One: Brutes
Brutes are the heavier equipped Assassins. They can have anything from axes to clubs.
Squad Two: Shadows
Shadows are the stealthiest of the squads. They usually use the Hidden Blade as their weapon.
Squad Three: Rangers
Rangers use mainly guns as their weapon. Usually they keep a distance from the huge fights, but rather fight from a rooftop or other high place.
Squad Four: Navigators
Navigators plan out most of their moves. Usually they use swords during combat.
Templars may not have squads, but they are equally powerful in war without them, as they may all be skilled in several areas of combat.
Assassin (Union) Ranks:
Initiate
Recruit
Footpad
Veteran
True Assassin
Master Assassin
Templar (Confederate) Ranks:
Recruit
Soldier
Veteran
General
Naval Commander
