Assassins

I am surprised that nobody have asked about the Assasins. I hope they will be represented in the game. It's a shame that they won't be playable

The profession, or a group known as the Assassins?

OT,
The Band?

We are talking about the heretical Islamic sect know as the assassins. They were very influental in Syria during the crusades, and held a number of castles. Their leader, Sinan, was know by the crusaders as "The Old Man of the Mountains"

There are some more info here:

I completely forgot about them. Wonder if you could hire them to do your dirty work?

IIRC they were a nation that you had to take out in AoE2.

What? Like on a date? Before you scr**ed them?

Shouldn't be too difficult. AoK could have been a great game, but in the end it was just another clickfest...
