CK3 Dev Diary #1 - Dynasties & Houses

rageair, Design

Greetings, and welcome to the first CK3 Feature Dev Diary!

大家吼啊，欢迎来到十字军之王3首篇关于游戏特色内容的开发日志！

As this is the first DD we want it to be extra juicy, and showcase something that we’re excited about - namely what we’re doing with Dynasties! Dynasties are immaterial yet fundamentally important things that make Crusader Kings what it is - your line must follow an unbroken line of members from your Dynasty; if your Dynasty ends, so does your game.

毕竟这是第一篇开发日志，所以我们就想写得更加充实些，跟你们展示些我们很中意的内容——说的就是我们我们正在捣鼓的王朝Dynasties（译注：亦即CK2中通称的家族，为了在这里区分Dynasties和Houses，故前者译作王朝，后者译作家族）系统啦！虽说王朝并无实体，但其却是塑造十字军之王游戏本身的基础性重要因素——你的游戏进程必须由你王朝诸多成员不间断的血脉来延续；而若王朝后继无人，那么游戏也将一同迎来终结。

Now, the representation of Dynasties in CK2 was limited. A character belonged to a Dynasty, and that was that - you got a minor opinion boost with characters that were of the same one, and nothing more. In CK3, we really want to emphasize the power that Dynasties held, and their impact on the medieval world! We want you as the player to feel a bond with your Dynasty, and care for it. To achieve this, we’ve done a multitude of things!

目前，王朝这一概念在十字军之王2游戏里面的表现程度有限。就仅仅是某个角色属于某个王朝——同属一个王朝的角色间能够得到稍许的关系加成，别无其他。但在十字军之王3里面，我们真的很想强调各个王朝手中掌控的势力，以及他们对中世纪世界的影响！我们希望作为玩家的你能够感受到与你的王朝之间的联系，并关心你的王朝。为了实现这个目标，我们做了各种各样的内容！

卡佩家族

罗贝尔王朝下属的家族

“宽恕，救世，坚持”

于公元866年由法兰西国王罗贝尔建立。

Firstly something that we know will especially please CK2 players, we’ve redefined what a Dynasty actually is - not a monolithic entity, but a collection of Houses. No longer will Dynasties have just one name, one Coat of Arms, and one identity - instead several Houses (aka Cadet Branches!) will be collected under the umbrella that is the Dynasty, working together (theoretically…) towards bringing renown upon the Dynasty!

首先我们知道某个特别讨十字军之王2玩家欢心的事儿，就是我们重新定义了什么是王朝——它不再是个铁板一块的实体了，而是一系列家族Houses的集合。王朝也不再只有单一的名称、单一的纹章，以及单一的身份了——相反各种各样的家族（也就是说庶系分支Cadet Branches！）会聚集在同一王朝的保护下，共同合作（理论上如此...）并为王朝带来声望！

So, what is a House?

所以，什么是家族Houses呢？

Each Dynasty will have a Founding House (usually of the same name as the Dynasty), which is the first House of that Dynasty. As the game progresses, ruling Dynasty members that are distant by blood to the current House Head (more on this below) may choose to create a Cadet Branch - effectively creating a new House under the Dynasty. Creating a Cadet Branch makes the character creating it House Head (with the most powerful House Head becoming Dynast), and by extension free from the direct influence of their old House Head.

每个王朝都将有一个创始家族Founding House（通常创始家族的名字就是王朝的名字），创始家族是王朝里面的第一个家族。而随着游戏进程的推进，与当前家族族长House Head（关于家族族长的更多内容请见下文）血缘关系疏远而又拥有领主统治权的家族成员可以选择创立庶系分支Cadet Branch。创立庶系分支将使得该位创立者成为其家族族长（势力最为强大的家族族长将成为王朝君主Dynast），并且不再会受原本的家族族长直接影响。

Making your own Cadet Branch requires quite a bit of prestige, that you do not stand to inherit your House Head’s titles, and that all of your Dynastic ancestors are dead (your father can’t be alive, for example). Cadet Branches/Houses come with a lot of flavor: their own names, Coat of Arms and Mottos, usually inspired by the location in which they are founded, and the founding character. For example, if a ruler of the Jimena Dynasty would create a Cadet Branch in southern France, they might be called the Toulouse-Jimenas, and so on.

想要创立属于自己的庶系分支需要相当大量的威望，并且你不再有机会继承原家族族长的任何头衔，以及还要求你全部的王朝祖先都已经去世（就比如说你父亲不能依然活在世上）。庶系分支/家族也将带来众多的益处：自己的名字、纹章和格言，通常这些东西是取源于其创立地和创立者的。就比如说，假如希梅尼斯王朝的某位统治者想要在法国南部创立自己的庶系分支，那他们就可能会被称为图卢兹-希梅尼斯家族，诸如此类的。

多佛-古德温家族

古德温王朝下属的家族

“忠于手中剑”

于公元1066年由肯特公爵利奥夫温创立。

Now, what is a House Head or a Dynast?

现在，什么是家族族长House Head或是王朝君主Dynast呢？

Within a House there is always a leader, a House Head, that wields power over the rest of the members. A House Head has the power to legitimize bastards, call House members to war, and demand that they adhere to their Faith (refusal to convert will result in them creating a new Cadet Branch). The House Head also has inherent leverage on all House members born after they were made head, by virtue of getting a Hook on them (more on Hooks in another DD). They also gain passive prestige based upon the number of members in their House. House leadership follows the succession of the House Head, so that if you’re the leader of your House you will most likely keep that title on succession.

在一个家族里面总是有一位领袖，亦即家族族长House Head，对家族的其余成员行使权力。一个家族族长有权力合法化私生子、召唤家族成员加入战争、要求家族成员遵循家族族长的信仰（拒绝改信将会导致他们创立一个庶系分支）。家族族长也对其成为领袖之后诞生的所有家族成员有内在的影响力，这通过握有他们的把柄Hook来实现（关于把柄Hook的内容在其它开发日志讲述）。他们也会获得消极的威望增加，基于他们家族的成员人数。家族的领导权与家族族长的继承相对应，所以如果你是你家族的家族族长，你可能最想要让这个头衔继承下去。

The Dynast, on the other hand, wields significantly more power than a House Head - with their power encompassing the members of all Houses of the entire Dynasty! The Dynast is always the most powerful House Head of a Dynasty, with leadership being updated on the death of the old Dynast. In addition to everything the House Head can do, the Dynast can also Disinherit/Restore Inheritance, Denounce/Forgive members of the Dynasty (which affects opinion in a major way), personally Claim titles held by Dynasty members, and make Dynasty members end wars they have against each other. All of these powers work against every member of the Dynasty, not just the House they’re a part of. The Dynast also gains prestige for every living member of the Dynasty. Being the Dynast is very powerful indeed, but you have to carefully weigh the powers against other benefits, as they cost Renown.

另一方面，王朝君主Dynast比家族族长能行使大得多的权力，因为他们的权威能覆盖整个王朝的所有家族的成员！王朝君主固定是王朝中最强大的家族族长，随着旧王朝君主的死去而变更领导。在家族族长能做的所有事情以外，王朝君主还能剥夺继承权/恢复继承权，谴责/原谅王朝成员，并且当王朝成员相互开战时能强制他们停战。所有这些权力能对王朝的所有成员使用，而并不仅仅是对他们所在的家族。王朝君主也从王朝的每一个活着的成员那里获得威望。成为王朝君主确实非常强大，但你也要小心权衡这些权力和其它利益之间的利弊，因为它们花费声望Renown。

So what is Renown?

所以，什么是声望Renown？

Renown is a resource accumulated by a Dynasty, and is used for several things. Firstly, all renown earned by a Dynasty counts towards its Level of Splendor. The Level of Splendor is the outward perception of the Dynasty, how well it is perceived in the eyes of the world, and affects the prestige you get on birth, the prestige when marrying into it, and the maximum long reign opinion you can get. Having a high level also makes it much easier to arrange marriages, especially with Dynasties below your level. Regardless of if Renown is spent or not, the Level of Splendor won’t decrease. The higher your Dynasty’s Level of Splendor, the more impressive its Coat of Arms frame will look. Peasant Dynasties will start at a negative Splendor level, which means that you’ll actually lose prestige for marrying them.

声望Renown是由一个王朝积累起来的一种资源，并且能用在许多事情上。首先，一个王朝挣得的所有声望都会计入其辉煌等级Level of Splendor。辉煌等级表现的是一个王朝的外在样貌，亦即其在世人眼中的样貌如何，并且影响你诞生于该王朝之中获得的威望、与该王朝联姻时获得的威望，以及你能获得的长期统治好感度加成的最大值。拥有较高的辉煌等级也会使你更容易安排联姻，尤其是对那些等级低于你的王朝。不管声望是否被花费出去，王朝的辉煌等级都不会减少。你王朝的辉煌等级越高，其纹章外框就看起来更厉害。农民王朝（出生低贱的王朝）最开始的辉煌等级是负的，这意味着你与他们结婚会失去威望值。

Renown itself is a spendable currency, representing the clout your Dynasty holds over itself. Its use is twofold; firstly it can be used for the most powerful Dynast interactions (getting claims, disinheriting, etc.) and secondly for unlocking Dynasty Legacies (more on this below).

声望本身是一种可以花费出去的通货，象征着你的王朝对自身的一种影响力。它的用途有两个方面，首先它能够用于最强力的王朝君主行动（获得宣称、撤销继承权等等），其次它能解锁王朝遗产Dynasty Legacies（详见下文）。

The way you get Renown encourages you to mimic a ‘playstyle’ that was common in reality, but that wasn’t very practical in CK2 - spreading your Dynasty far and wide! You will gain renown for every ruler of your Dynasty that isn’t a subject under another member of your Dynasty. This is based on tier, which means that a King will give more Renown than a Duke, and so on. Marrying in such a way that your Dynasty ends up on the throne of a foreign realm is therefore useful for other reasons than to just murder them until you inherit their lands. Having your Dynasty spread out will give you more Renown, and thus a more powerful Dynasty overall. For example, if you’re playing as the King of England you will NOT gain renown from your landed vassal brother, but you WILL gain renown from your Dynastic cousin ruling a Duchy in the Holy Roman Empire. You will also gain renown from marrying away your dynasty to be spouses of powerful rulers, symbolizing your newfound influence in their realms. This gives you a reason to carefully plan the marriages of your kinsmen, even if you are not in need of an alliance!

你获得声望Renown的方式会鼓励你去模仿一种在现实中非常常见、但在CK2中却不怎么有操作性的“游戏套路”——亦即把你的王朝遍播天下！你会从你的王朝中的每一个领主那里获得声望，只要他们不是你王朝另一个成员的附庸。获得的声望取决于他们的头衔等级，这意味着一个国王会比一个公爵获得更多声望，以此类推。搞一场能让你的王朝取得外国领主宝座的婚姻也因此变得有用，而不仅仅是出于谋杀他们来继承领地的原因。让你的王朝散播得更广能给你更多声望，也因此会让王朝整体更加强大。举个例子，如果你游玩英格兰国王，你将不会从你有领土的兄弟封臣那里获得声望，但你会从统治神罗某公国的你王朝表兄弟那里获得声望。你也可以通过让你的王朝成员与强大的统治者联姻成为其配偶来获得声望，这标志着你对他们的领土新获得的影响力。这给予你一个理由来仔细规划你近亲的婚姻，即便你并不需要一个同盟！

So, what are Dynasty Legacies?

所以，什么是王朝遗产Dynasty Legacies？

We all know that the playing field in Crusader Kings is a very volatile one, you might be Emperor of the World as one character, while being reduced to Count of Norfolk as the next. Dynasty Legacies offer some permanence in this otherwise very wild world, in the form of modifiers and unlocks that affect every member of your Dynasty. Essentially, by using Renown you get to shape what your Dynasty is known for. There’s a myriad of Legacies to choose from, all divided into tracks with an appropriately thematic name, such as ‘Kin’, ‘Guile’ or ‘Blood’. These aim to represent notions the world had (or has) about certain dynasties, i.e., that the Seljuks are warriors, the Abbasids lawmakers, the Habsburgs diplomats (and, ahem, prone to marrying their own kin), etc. Each Legacy track contains five unlocks, each costing a progressively higher amount of Renown to unlock.

我们都知道，十字军之王的游戏场相当变化无常，你扮演一个角色时可能是世界的皇帝，但扮演下一个角色的时候就被削弱成诺福克伯爵了。王朝遗产Dynasty Legacies在这个非常多变的世界里面提供了某些延续性，表现为能影响你王朝每一个成员的修正加成和解锁内容。本质上说，通过使用声望，你能够塑造你的王朝以什么来闻名。游戏中有无数王朝遗产可供选择，所有这些被分为一条条分支Track，各条都有着一个合适的主题名字，例如“亲缘”、“狡诈”或是“血脉”。这旨在表现世人对特定王朝抱有怎样的理解。例如，塞尔柱王朝是“战士”，阿巴斯王朝是“立法者”，哈布斯堡王朝是“外交”（以及，呃哼，喜欢与他们的近亲结婚），等等。每一条遗产分支都有五个解锁内容，每一个都需要花费相当高的声望来解锁。

从上至下分别为：战争、法律、狡诈、血脉、博学、荣耀、亲缘

In this Dev Diary we will go into details on one of these tracks, “Blood” (which also happens to be my favorite). This track is designed for those of you who enjoy breeding traits into your family line, with the first few unlocks all focusing on increasing the chance of inheritance, emergence, and reinforcement of genetic traits (more on genetic traits in another DD). The last few unlocks will reduce the chance of negative traits appearing (essentially allowing for more.. ‘risky’ marriages), give you the chance to choose a genetic trait to be more common among your kin (i.e. beautiful, intelligent and strong… but also giant or dwarf. No matter how much I pleaded with art I couldn’t get a ‘Habsburg chin’ trait, though!), and finally rounding off with an increase to your Dynasty members Life Expectancy (which increases both their average age, and average fertility - this even means that women of your dynasty remain able to bear children for longer!).

在这篇开发日志里，我们将看看其中一条分支，“血脉”（这也恰好是我最喜欢的）。这条分支是给那些喜欢给你的家族血脉配种特质的人设计的，最初的几个解锁内容都注重于继承、生成、强化基因特质的几率增长（更多关于基因特质的内容将在其它开发日志讲述）。后几项解锁内容是关于降低负面特质出现几率的（基本上将会允许更多“危险”的婚姻），让你可以选择让一个基因特质在你的亲属中更加常见（比如魅力非凡、聪慧和强壮...但是也包括巨人或侏儒特质。但是，不管我如何恳求美工都不能获得一个“哈布斯堡下巴”的特质！），并最终能提高你的家族成员的预期寿命（这将同时提高他们的平均年龄和平均生育能力——这甚至将增加你王朝内的女性成员的可生育年龄！）。

Legacies take a long time to unlock, and you will have to work hard toward unlocking even one full track - though their power more than makes up for the wait. Legacies are chosen and unlocked by the Dynast, so make sure that you’re in control of your Dynasty.

遗产们将需要很长时间来解锁，且玩家需要十分努力才能解锁仅仅一个完整的分支——但是他们的强大弥补了等待。遗产是由王朝君主来选择和解锁的，所以请确保你是王朝的掌控者。

That’s all for this time! We won’t spoil any more of the Legacy tracks for now, but rest assured that they all offer very interesting opportunities for you to shape your dynasty as you would like it! Next up we have a sneak preview of the map, stay tuned for the next DD.

这就是今天的全部内容了！我们暂时不会再透露更多关于遗产分支的内容，但是我保证其余的分支都会提供使玩家能按自己的意愿塑造王朝的十分有趣的机会！接下来我们将偷偷展示一部分地图。敬请关注下期开发日志。
