📋 About This Mod
The very first mod for Assassin's Creed Black Flag to add an entirely new faction into the game. This mod adds the French faction into the game without replacing any existing factions (British, Spanish, Portuguese, etc.). They can be found in the regions of Navassa and Punta Guarico and will attack the ships of other factions. Max level ships can be found in Navassa, while lower levels can be found in Punta Guarico. French ships can also be encountered in the Naval Contract "Blind Justice", where a level 60 French Man Of War will be encountered.
This mod has a patch for Portuguese Ships in Open World if you want to have Portuguese ships in the Caribbean Sea alongside the French. Install this mod with the latest version of AnvilToolkit (1. 3. 5 or newer.)
