Why This Island in Assassins Creed Black Flag Is So Interesting

Of all the times NOT to be named Hontne Salty-Thief

Hi, I don't speak Spanish but based on the text at 04:29 the sermon is about the story of Daniel in the lion's den. It's a famous story from the Bible, where Daniel is thrown into a lion's den as punishment for praying to God. God protects Daniel by sending an angel to close the lions' jaws, and he survives the night. Hope this helps! Love your videos!!

GO PLAY BLACK FLAG RESYNCED ITS AWESOME Do not fear, Skyrim guard part 2 is next!! The story has not gone AT ALL how I expected but I think I’ve got something awesome. Doubt anyone will expect what happens next.

Not even kidding I went to that first church island and thought “man I wish Bliz made a video on this it’s pretty cool” LMAO

so what you call the spanish flag is actually justy a naval flag, that was only seen on ships, then much later it wad adopted as the spanish flag, the cross of burgundy is the actual flag of the spanish empire at that time, so red and yellow for ships and cross for lands and possessions hope this helps

The cross of Burgundy banner was used by the military (and sometimes the Spanish Empire), whereas the more contemporary flag was only used by the navy, which is why it looks different on the fort

Clicked on this the millisecond I saw it and 2 seconds in it’s already peak

Imagining the spanish preacher being marooned and seeing a fleet of ships behind him is hilarious. like they are making an active choice to leave him there

"He got stranded and lost his mind with no possible way off the island." (*Like, 5 Spanish ships doing donuts in the background*)

the green white and red probably represents the Italian flag seeing as how your friend said he speaks mostly Italian (to be fair, Italian and Spanish do sound quite similar to the point where spanish speakers and italian speakers conversate in their own languages sometimes and understand each other which is crazy to me lol)

My Mom played all of the assassins creeds as I was growing up. I grew up with her playing and 100%-ing every game (those damn ac1 Flags!) in the middle of the night. She had narcolepsy and adhd so was just always up and gaming in the night. She has since dropped her body and I am playing AC IV remade and am feeling her every step of the way. I got the steelbook cause she had a collection of every assassins creed in physical form on the playstations. So from my point of view Bizly, you are my mom, not the other way around.

5:35 there’s literally land in sight with endless ships sailing by and this man chose insanity 😂

Cool to see another colors and shapes enjoyer, the love is much appreciated, that shit is divine

He wears all those layers because clothes of the time werent as tightly woven. They sucked ass at keeping heat in [unless it was thick wool, I am told]. So you could wear lots of elaborate layers without being boiling hot because your body heat would vent. Source: dude, trust me

23:30 that is a distiller and yes it is. Your fermented mash goes in one side and you lightly boiled it and the vapor goes into the tube, Cools, and alcohol comes out into the other barrel

15:52 How dare you make a Skyrim joke while holding out on part 2 of The Adventures of Hontne Salt-Thief.

Man. Your dynamic camera angles and cinematic scene set-ups are really expanding the “green screen guy examines video games” genre. keep it up, I love your work!!

He's marooned on this little island and in the background of the clip are like 4 Spanish ships sailing like 150 yards away, LOL.

18:46 im proud of you, son ❤

6:45 hey Beebo, history Nerd here! That flag is actually the flag of Hapsburg Spain. In case you don’t know, the Hapsburgs were an Austrian dynasty famous for marrying into basically every royal family in Europe, including the Spanish royal family. During the 1500’s the Cross of Burgundy was used by the new Hapsburg Spanish royal family in order to symbolise closer ties with the Holy Roman Empire, the main seat of the Hapsburg dynasty. The flag was changed in 1785 after the Spanish crown severed ties with the Hapsburgs, giving us the modern flag of Spain. However, black flag actually happens almost 70 years before the flag flown by the Spanish in that game was actually invented. There are 2 potential reasons for this. 1. Ubisoft was just lazy and didn’t get their facts right. Or 2. It’s an example of a pretty common practice in the assassins creed games where they bend the history a little to help make it feel more familiar to the player. Players would better recognise the modern Spanish flag as the flag of Spain, but in places like Havana which was founded while the old Spanish flag was still in use, and that fort which was likely abandoned before the new standard came into practice, the cross of burgundy is still used to symbolise this transitional period of the Spanish empire. Anyways, the more you know
