I would love to see more cards around the lore of the games, especially the present day cards with Desmond, Lucy, Shaun etc and maybe delve deeper into the past of Subject 16? Should also be more cards around the animus itself, like card tutoring from different DNA sequences of the game I am surprised to see that there is only one card that shows the apple of eden aswell (false hopes) would be cool to have a discard/neutralize card based on the apple (in the game you could kill multiple agents with the apple) geif please

ACtually I'm very interested to know what's going to happen with the expansion - on one hand I'm happy to see that there's Revelations planned, but disappointed that it looks like it's only one expansion and not more (for the moment at least).
And I'm disappointed that it seems like only going to be Italian Renaissance theme - I was thinking it would be awesome to get into Altair times and even modern days - Can you imagine the card: Lucy, Assassin? 10 cost - 5/5... 5: Target agent scores for their opponent instead in the next conflict.
Haven't finished Brotherhood, haven't played Revelation. I guess I really should.

steven, seriously, I cant believe your even playing recollections when you still have brotherhood and revelations to play!!
do it, do it soon they are fantastic storylines, without wanting to give away too much, if you liked the altair storyline, your gonna LOVE revelations!
On a side note I like the idea of Shaun or the other real world girl who runs the animus while desmond is in it to have a card with an effect such as:
Make your next card play invisible to the opponent.
I love the idea of stealth cards that you wont see until its too late, or you can see a 'blank' card resolving and you have to take the choice of wasting a discard or letting it resolve and risk getting trounced.

I never played any other assassin creed games. Is there a plot summery somewhere I can just read about what happens?

yeah wikipedia has the whole storyline mapped out, bit of a length read though, There are also novels which are based on the games, almost word for word, very very good reads, definately recommend. can you tell im a bit of a AC nutcase?

A lot of the characters are based on real people too ( other than the obvious ones like Da Vinci) The Borgias etc , Caterina Sforza . The Borgias were a pretty ruthless family, The Borgias became prominent in ecclesiastical and political affairs in the 1400s and 1500s. They produced two popes during this period, Alfons de Borja who ruled as Pope Calixtus III during 1455–1458, and Rodrigo Lanzol Borgia, as Pope Alexander VI, during 1492–1503. Today they are remembered for their corrupt rule during the reign of Alexander VI. They have been accused of many different crimes, including adultery, simony, theft, rape, bribery, incest, and murder (especially murder by arsenic poisoning[1]). Because of their search for power, they made enemies of other powerful families such as the Medici and the Sforza, as well as the influential Dominican friar Savonarola. I love history sorry to inflict that on you if you don't

Just got spurned on by your comment zed, but honestly I'm getting so bored playing monopoly and buying property. All the damn Borgia towers are super heavily guarded and my health is measly nothing. Is it supposed to be hard???

not especially hard no, are you talking about brotherhood or revelations?
the brotherhood towers can be a pain in the arse but I found that if I sneak up on the towers I could generally climb them without the guards noticing.
I would suggest that if you cant do the towers at the moment progress through the storyline a bit more until you go to different sequences with better armor etc
the towers are part of the meta game and not relevant to the storyline itself if you wanted to just grind out the story mode.
Definately aim towards the uber armours in both games though, assassin bunkers in revelations and romulus crypts in brotherhood (6 in each game) once you collect all the artifacts you unlock altairs armour which is the best in game (revelations) or the brutus armour (brotherhood).
deffo makes the game easier, but the crypts and bunkers only become avaialble after certain sequences.

Ok just super grinded through brotherhood, some of the 100% sync challenges are downright hellish. I used to have to get them all but this time I gave up The end wasn't as much as a shocker as 2 (well yes it was, but in a different way I guess), more of a wtf. But the story is quite rich, very cool to see the characters of Cesare and Lucrecia and Lanz and all of them come from card to life (I guess I'm the *wrong* way around on that) But it was also disappointing to see for example how Lanz and Lia De Russo and a few others have *so* little story to them... Yet they're such HUGE cards in Recollection I didn't find all the Romulus lairs, or rather, I found all of them but when I went back after a mission to get in, they won open (1 of them) so I gave up. Turns out you can get quite über by just buying armor from the blacksmith too, though.

I was also surprised that Cesar isn't pronounced "Sir-zar" but rather "Che-zer-ray"... Like Desree or some girl name. He's just got a nerf in my mind (and it makes much less sense as "Cesare salad" now ) Also his relationship with Lucrecia... wow they had an inappropriate one.
