    IIRC this message was first used in AC1 and it felt right at the time because of the respectful approach to a (more or less) realistic historical setting made by a bunch of Canadians in a time when no one expected much of video games in terms of cultural respect. I remember it chaning my expection that the setting might be more than Prince-of-Persia-esque set dressing.
