While Kenway's crew will remain loyal to him, can be promoted to captain acquired ships and are needed to assist in boarding enemy vessels, they cannot assist in combat or perform long-range assassinations, as in previous games. An updated form of the recruit system introduced in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood has returned, allowing Edward to recruit crew members. It can also help determine if an island still has animals to hunt, treasures to find, high points to reach for synchronization or additional side-quests to complete, such as assassinations and naval contracts. The player has access to a spyglass, allowing the examination of distant ships, along with their cargo and strength. In addition, a new underwater component has been added. The Jackdaw is upgradeable throughout the game, and is easily accessible to the player when needed. Ī new aspect in the game is the Jackdaw, the ship that the player captains. In addition, the hunting system has been retained from Assassin's Creed III, allowing the player to hunt on land, and fish in the water, with resources gathered used to upgrade equipment. The player will encounter jungles, forts, ruins, and small villages and the world is built to allow players much more freedom, such as allowing players to engage, board, and capture passing ships and swimming to nearby beaches in a seamless fashion. The world opens up sooner in the game, as opposed to Assassin's Creed III, which had very scripted missions and did not give players freedom to explore until the game was well into its first act. Assassin's Creed IV has a more open world feel, with missions similar to those found in Assassin's Creed, as well as fewer restrictions for the player. The game also features 50 other individual locations-including atolls, sea forts, Mayan ruins, sugar plantations and underwater shipwrecks-to explore, with a 60/40 balance between land and naval exploration. The game features three main cities Havana, Kingston, and Nassau, which reside under Spanish, British, and pirate influence, respectively.
