Always thought it was a cool idea to shift the time period to around the revolution and such, AC3 was a hugely squandered opportunity that I’m glad they salvaged all the fun sailing parts out of. Now it looks like they got the homestead sidestory adapted into the new game for your viking village so that should be cool, it was my 2nd favorite part of AC3, building up a little community that actually gives you in-game benefits and missons and such. It created an itch I’ve longed to scratch for ages.
