Bug? - Sequence 8 Mission 1 (Do Not Go Gently...) - Won't register heavy shot ...

Never mind. I posted this elsewhere and found out that because I was aiming the "heavy shot" I was actually shooting the Man O' War with "round shot". Once I was told this, I replayed the mission and got this on the first try.

I think this game has royally buggered up my Artisans. Sequence 9 and all of them are still level 1, even though I've done every homestead mission available. Although, I think I missed one in Sequence 7, because I went off the game and came back, and the
game decided to automatically start the final mission in Sequence 7 for me, so I had to go straight into Sequence 8.

Replaying the sequences worked for me. Press 'start' so the menu comes up. Go into 'progress tracker'. You will then see your progress through the single player missions. Select that category and then choose the sequence you wish to play. Re doing the entire
sequence worked for me, except for 12. Not sure if its a bug but it didn't work for me on sequence 12 even though I did it twice :'(

I wouldn't get too hung up on figuring out what artisans get leveled up during what sequence. All you have to do is (when you are at your homestead) open up your map and see what homestead missions are available. They should appear as little white house
icons with a black background. For every artisan homestead mission you do, you will level up that artisan by one. Also remember that you have to recruit most artisans (from Boston, New York, and the Frontier) to get them to actually go to your homestead,
then level them up. Also, don't forget to speak with them when you have the option. Speaking event icons look like a little "wi-fi" signal on your map. You need to do these speaking engagements in order to advance through your homestead completion.

.

This may explain why there is a conflict in why you are seeing different sequence numbers for the different artisan missions online. If I don't recruit the farmers until sequence 6, then I won't be able to do their homestead missions earlier than that.
Or, it could be that whatever it is you are reading online is false. I'll try to clear it up for you. This is how I did it:

.

1) Farmers (Warren and Prudence) - becomes available during Sequence 5, can be found in the Eastern section of Monmouth in the Frontier.

.

2) Woodworker (Lance) - becomes available during Sequence 5, and can be found in the southern area of the Homestead.

.

3) Huntress (Myriam) - becomes available during Sequence 6, can be found in the Northern part of the Homestead.

.

4) Miner (Noris) - becomes available during Sequence 6, can be found somewhere in Boston, can't remember exactly where.

.

5) Innkeepers (Corrine and Oliver) - becomes available in Sequence 7, can be found in the central part of the homestead. However, I think you need to have completed a fair amount of homestead missions beforehand to unlock this one. This mission is paramount
to unlocking the missions for the other characters.

.

6) Doctor (Lyle White) - becomes available during Sequence 8, can be found somewhere in Boston.

.

7) Blacksmith (Dave) - becomes available during Sequence 8, can be found in the Frontier near the exit to the Homestead.

.

8) Priest (Timothy) - becomes available during Sequence 9, can be found in the central part of the homestead.

.

9) Tailor (Ellen) - becomes available during Sequence 9, can be found in New York.

.

Next, the best way for your newly recruited assassin to gain xp would be to send him on "one-star" missions by himself (hold "LB" and then "X" to pull up the assassins contract menu). Pick a colony that has a one-star mission, then hit "Y" and pray he doesn't
get hurt. Also, you could constantly call your assassin to kill guards by tapping the "LB" button. Assassin recruits gain experience when they kill guards, but they can be hurt doing this as well. If they get hurt, they will be out of commission (unusable)
for about twelve minutes (or something like that). I have found that the frontier roads (not forts) have the fewest amount of guards patrolling at any one time and they are all pretty far away from each other (unlike the cities) so it will be rare to have
a huge group engage you at any one point.

.

Hope this helps you out. Good luck.

hi. this sequence might be glitched, try restarting the sequence. try doing another mission and then do that one it might help.
