I'm still working on AC3 (I don't really want to skip any, I'm really invested in the sort of meta story of AC) but I'm pretty excited to eventually get to this one. The London setting has always been a favourite for me, and the gameplay here looks solid too.
A common complaint I hear about the diplomatic system that people (including Alex) don't seem to realize is that you can use diplomatic capital to buy units too, its not so easy to see in the menus but its a good late game use for diplomacy.
...also Alex constantly clicking the Move button to move was crazy, I wonder if he does that when he plays at home or is just trying to be transparent.
