What’s the use of money

assassins-creed-3

So, I just finished the main storyline of Assassins Creed 3. In the beginning of the game, they showed me some crazy complicated method of trading supplies – I never bothered doing anything with it. I figured that if I need money later on I will get it done then. So when I finished I only had about £7,000

But… I never needed any money. I played the whole game only spending a few dollars bribing heralds every now and again.

I didn't have to purchase any weapons (the tomahawk was good enough for the whole game), I never had to upgrade any armour (was there upgraded armour even for sale?).

Did I miss something important? Or was this game much simpler than its predecessors (in terms of needing money, anyway)?

I had a very similar experience as you.

The main thing I spent my money on was upgrades for the Aquila.

The towns carried new weapons you could buy, but nothing that was substantially better than what is given to you for free.

Other than that, the only thing to really spend money on was treasure maps & decorations for your house (made through crafting).
