So it seems that my assassins don't respond to my command sometimes.

When i press the "Call Asassins" Button, usually one of the 2 assassins that comes, assassinate a guard and the other stands still doing nothing for a while, then he goes into "combat mode". I wanted to know why...

And aother thing: if there is a building next to the guards, i thought that the assassins would air assassinate the guards, but no....usually the assasssins come on horseback or running.... Why they do not just air assassinate the guards as i want?

I find that they do air assassinations more often in areas with less space to move around and more raised surfaces to jump off of. Use them in the rundown area behind the hideout and see if they do more air assassinations.

On occasion I've seen the odd assassin get stuck after being called. Usually they run/ride into a tree or something. It appears to be waypoint separation messing up the AI. The worst is when AI (guards, assassins, etc) can't do something simple like walk around a horse and they're stuck until someone/something spooks the horse into running off.

Speaking of funny AI glitches with Assassins, just yesterday i had my assassins kill a group of gaurds on the wall of the big castle(where Pope lives, whatever it's called). Afterward they started running to one of the gates and couldn't figure out how to get out.

I was laughing my ass off and thought, "Some Brotherhood of Assassins..." Just thought i'd share that. Big smile

I use bam all the time when traveling around, it gets you exp. However while climbing a view point some assassin was constantly firing his hidden gun, and kept missing. Something must have blocked his path because he fired at least 20 shots before I finally left the area

The first time I used BAM was during the mission where you kill the Doctor character from multiplayer (who for some reason likes to kill Courtesans...). Anyway, this was the first time I've ever been frightened by anything in Assassin's Creed. I was expecting the Assassin to jump from the rooftop to take out the fleeing doctor. But instead...

The Assassin jumped out of a hay cart right in front of me and did a high-profile assassinate-from-hiding place! It scared me straight! I thought he was coming for me for a split second, but it ended up being alright, as I got to see him execute the doctor in slow motion.

Damn never seen that.

I dont like to use it anymore, it makes things so damn easy. Especially the arrow storm, if you thought sending mercs after people made things easy this is like 10x easier.
