Ok some might call me a perfectionist, but I truly am not. I just thought that I should go around killing all the Templars and collect all the flags that I can find since I’m out there doing stuff anyway.
Running around Damascus or Jerusalem blindly hoping to run into flags or a Templar is a time-consuming process. Thus, I broke out my trusty Firefox browser and went Googling for Assassin’s Creed Maps.
While I came across many forum posts, where the poster did his own map, nobody ever did a complete map of the entire game till I came across this site here. It’s a goldmine, I tell you! When the site says the maps are interactive, they really mean it! When you mouse over a pin, a Web 2.0 popup box will show you a picture of the location plus a description of how to find that particular flag or Templar.
So, I printed off a map of the Kingdom (since I spend hardly any time there) and went Templar-hunting. I must say the map is pretty spot on.
For now, I’m just running around killing Templars. Why? Because I hate ’em. I hate them with every fibre of my digital being. Templars are so irritating, that when I just ran PAST them in the cities, they’ll aggro on sight, and come after me. It’s especially bad when a group of guards just walked past, and then I round a corner, and come right smack face to face with a Templar! He’ll aggro on me, we’ll fight, and the 5 guards that walked past would have already joined in the fight.
And, Templars fight differently from typical guards, which make matters worse. Very rarely can I do an “assassinate” on the Templar when he’s down (ok maybe I suck, but it’s difficult ok?).
Hence my seething hatred for them. And that’s why I’m out hunting them now.
Thanks to the maps 🙂
