Geographical Accuracy

 Ubisoft, the company that created Assassin's Creed, worked very closely with the Bostonian Society and other historical societies to give mid-eighteenth-century Boston an accurate feel, right down to the colors of the buildings. The result is a fabulously detailed and historically accurate cityscape. Below, you can compare a historical map of Colonial Boston to the in-game map by sliding the divider back and forth. Alternatively, here's a side by side comparision.

Do you agree with your original claim based on this evidence, as well as the comparison to the painting? In other words, do you believe that the developers did a good job with researching the time period, and recreated Colonial Boston in a way that is valuable to our understanding of history?
