I don't like Tower Defense games in general. Even the good ones. I didn't like the one in Revelations either, but I was able to avoid it except for that one really easy forced tutorial. I keep a low profile in those games anyway.

I didn't realize at first what prompted the attacks on my towers, until I paid attention to one of the notes on a load screen. Once I realized that, it was all good. I usually don't hesitate to move around the city however I like, since I'm by now capable of wiping out whole platoons and barely taking any damage, so I'm often hovering around three-fourths notorious. Paying off heralds and such is easy enough, though, especially with all the revenue I was generating after renovating most of the shops from an early point in the game. :-D

I wonder if you'd have liked Brotherhood more (and Revelations less) if you'd been there to experience the multiplayer when it was brand new.

I liked Ezio's story and the city environments and various gameplay elements less in Brotherhood, no matter what. For instance, the required stealth segments in Brotherhood were significantly more frustrating than anything in Revelations. The multiplayer in Revelations also seems to offer a lot more (from what I could tell). So I'm thinking the answer is "probably not," but there's no way now to be entirely certain.

Multiplayer is a funny thing. For some people it really makes (or breaks) a game and for other people, like me, multiplayer is like the toothpick on the swiss army knife—I never use it.

I love good multiplayer, but I ultimately don't have much time for it. I could probably play Call of Duty for weeks online, but when each new game arrives, I usually spend a few hours on the campaign and a few more on multiplayer and then I have to move on to something else. Strong multiplayer elements are great for people who will only pick up 3 or 4 games each year, but for someone who picks up that many during some months... not so much. In general, I'm much more concerned with the single-player elements. I want a strong campaign that's awesome throughout its duration and knows when to quit. ;-)

Well said! I like the phrase "knows when to quit." The reality of my life means that I do want a game with an ending (preferably a powerful one). I'm okay with single player games whose side quests and missions can give me over 200 hours of gameplay, but for a multiplayer experience I always feel like the perpetual newbie. Years of gaming generally keep me mid-tier, but being able to only play a couple dozen multiplayer matchs each month keeps me from getting good to the point where things really start to become fun.
