Hello again!
大家好!
As previously hinted today's diary will cover both the Greek Military Traditions and the general setup at the start of the game in the larger Greek region. We will return to other parts of the Greek world in future diaries. I will also start with a few words on the Diadochi and the Greek world at large at our start.
如上期所说,本期日志将涵盖希腊军事传统和开局整个希腊地区的局势——在以后的日志里会介绍希腊世界的其他部分——在开篇处我也会介绍一下继业者和希腊世界的总体情况。
The Wars of the Diadochi
继业者战争
​
As we move on to the eastern part of the mediterranean we approach what is perhaps the main conflict of the early part of Imperator:Rome, a conflict that does not involve the promising Republic in Italy at all.
把目光移向地中海东部,我们就会看到本作游戏初期的核心冲突,一场与意大利那个前途无量的共和国(罗马)完全无关的冲突。
In 334 BCE, a few years after the first Samnite War and some 30 years before the start of the game, Alexander of Macedon crossed the Hellespont and invaded the Persian Achaemenid Empire. Alexander would in short order conquer the empire in its entirety, and soon his rule extended from Greece and Egypt in the west, to the Indus river and Ferghana valley in the east.
在公元前334年,即第一次萨莫奈战争的几年后,游戏开局的约30年前,马其顿的亚历山大渡过赫勒斯滂海峡(今达达尼尔海峡的希腊语古称)入侵波斯阿契美尼德帝国。亚历山大在短时间内就征服了整个波斯帝国,很快他统治着从西方的希腊与埃及到东方的印度河与费尔干纳峡谷的庞大疆域。
However in 323, aged only 32, Alexander would die suddenly, in the city of Babylon.
然而在前323年,年仅32岁的亚历山大死在巴比伦城。
After some consideration the generals present in Babylon itself proceeded to divide the empire between them in anticipation of one of Alexander’s heirs coming of age.
当时在巴比伦的马其顿将军们经过一番考虑,开始瓜分亚历山大留下的帝国,以待一位他的继承人成年。
Almost immediately hostilities would break out between these successor rulers, a series of conflicts that would last far longer than the original campaign to conquer the empire by Alexander himself. The story of this great conflict could fill many developer diaries, and involve everything from securing Alexander’s widows, children, siblings and even his body itself, to treachery, assassination, and unlikely reversals of fortunes. This is a period of some of the most spectacular sieges, naval engagements and land battles of the ancient era. At our start in 304 BCE this conflict is still ongoing, the remaining factions are headed by Cassander in Macedon, Lysimachos in Thrace, Antigonus in Phrygia, Ptolemy in Egypt and Seleucus in Persia. There are no longer any remaining potential heirs by blood to the empire, and so these remaining generals have all begun proclaiming themselves kings in their own right. History knows them as the Diadochi, or successors.
在这些瓜分者之间几乎立即就爆发了冲突,这一系列冲突的持续时间将远远超过亚历山大东征本身。这场庞大战争的故事将成为许多篇开发日志的主题,内容包括从抢夺亚历山大的寡妇,孩子,兄妹甚至尸体,到背叛,刺杀,乃至奇迹翻盘。在这个时代发生了许多古代最惊人的围城战,海战和陆战。在我们开局的前304年,这场冲突还在继续,场上还存在的阵营和其领袖是:马其顿的卡山德,色雷斯的利西马科斯,弗里吉亚的安提柯,埃及的托勒密和波斯的塞琉古。有资格继承帝国的马其顿王室成员一个都没能活到现在,于是这些剩下的将军们纷纷称王。这些人史称Diadochi,即希腊语中的继承人或“继业者”。
Rather than retelling the wars of the Diadochi in their entirety we will get back to them when we focus on the various regions that the Successors rule at our start.
这里我们先不详述继业者战争的全过程,等轮到介绍继业者们统治地区的日志时会详细描述的。
This diary is going to focus on the geographical region of Greece, in some ways at the periphery of the conflict, but in others at its very center.
本篇日志聚焦的是作为地理区域的希腊,从某些角度上说它是继业者战争的边缘地区,而从某些角度上说它处在这场纷争的中心。
Greek Military Traditions 希腊军事传统​
​
Greek Military traditions will be used by all countries with a Greek culture as their state culture. Including all of the mentioned Diadochi kingdoms. Like with all Military traditions there are three different paths but you can choose to progress down either one at any time you unlock a new tradition.
所有以希腊文化为国家文化的势力都会使用希腊军事传统,包括所有上述继业者王国。和所有军事传统一样它有三条线,每次解锁新传统时你都可以选择发展哪条线。
Like with most things we show you numbers are still subject to change. The names for the paths are also not to be taken too literally. They are never shown in game and are just rough categories for us to work with internally.
以下内容都还有可能随着游戏开发而有所变化。对路线名称的选择读者也不用在意,这些名称在游戏中不会显示,只是我们在编程时使用的内部代称而已。
The Greek can unlock 3 abilities. Raid City, and Border Forts are also present in the Italic Traditions.
希腊人可以解锁3种军事能力:其中劫掠城市和边境要塞也出现在意大利传统。
In addition the Greek Military Traditions also unlock the Cavalry Skirmish ability. This is a togglable unit ability that increases damage dealt by Light Cavalry and Camelry, while also increasing the damage they take themselves.
除此之外希腊军事传统还能解锁骑兵前哨战能力,开启后增加轻骑兵和骆驼骑兵的伤害输出和收到伤害。
Overall Greek Traditions provide a range of different bonuses to Infantry as well as a sprinkling of Cavalry and naval bonuses depending on what you prioritize.
整体上希腊传统能对步兵,骑兵,或是海军提供许多不同的加成,玩家需要在其之间进行取舍。

Greece 450 AUC - 304 BCE 希腊,罗马建城纪元450年或公元前304年
​
Macedonia, Epirus & Thrace 马其顿,伊庇鲁斯和色雷斯
​
At the time of Alexander’s death Macedonia and the cities of Greece were entrusted to Antipater, one of his oldest and most experienced officers. A few years later Antipater was even declared the regent of the (by then rather theoretical) empire, and entrusted the care of the presumptive heirs to the empire, Alexander’s son Alexander and his incapable brother Philip.
亚历山大去世时,马其顿和希腊诸城被托付给了他手下最有资历和经验的军官之一安提帕特。几年后安提帕特甚至成了理论上的帝国摄政,帝国继承人亚历山大之子小亚历山大和其智障兄弟腓力也被交给他照顾。
Quite an old man, Antipater eventually transferred command of Macedonia in 319 BCE to another general, Polyperchon. His eldest son Cassander, himself a veteran of Alexander’s conquests, saw this as a threat to his own ambitions and allied with the enemies of his father. Eventually taking over Greece and Macedon by force. Well in control of Greece, Cassander would find that his father’s enemies soon became his own.
安提帕特最终在前319年撒手人寰,把马其顿的统治权移交给了另一位将军波利伯孔。安提帕特的长子卡山德(同样也是亚历山大东征的老兵),将他视为眼中钉,联合父亲的敌人们用武力夺取了希腊和马其顿。统治着希腊的卡山德很快会发现他父亲的敌人,现在也成了他的敌人。
​
Starting Countries:​ 开局势力:
- Macedon: The original kingdom of Alexander, now ruled by the Antipatrid dynasty under Cassander. While thoroughly militarized, Macedon itself was never the richest part of Alexander’s empire. In recent years it has flourished under the rule of the Antipatrids, who have spent great resources on founding new cities, improving infrastructure and generally acting as is expected of Hellenistic Kings. In the years preceding our start date Cassander ordered the murder of the last heirs of Alexander, once entrusted to his father. This proved to be quite an unpopular move among the Greek cities but one that met almost no opposition from the other Diadochi.
- 马其顿:亚历山大最初统治的王国,现在被安提帕特王朝的卡山德统治。尽管军事化程度很高,马其顿从来不是亚历山大帝国中最富有的部分。近些年安提帕特家族花重金建设新城,改善基础设施,使得马其顿迎来了繁荣。开局前一年卡山德下令处死了当年给托付给他父亲的亚历山大最后的血脉,这在希腊城邦间引起了诸多非议,尽管其他继业者并不反对他的所作所为。
- Epirus: More accurately the Epirote League. Led by the newly elected King Pyrrhus Accidae, a man who has been called the greatest military mind of his time. Pyrrhus is still young but would in time make a name for himself as a mercenary and adventurer. Pyrrhus feels he has a legitimate claim himself to the realm of Alexander and is sympathetic to the Antigonid cause. Epirus starts out unaligned and without alliances but many opportunities for expansion.
- 伊庇鲁斯:准确的说是伊庇鲁斯同盟。领袖是新当选的国王皮洛士.埃阿喀得斯,被视为这个时代最伟大的军事思想家。皮洛士现在还很年轻,但不久将会以雇佣兵和冒险家的身份扬名。皮洛士认为自己对亚历山大的帝国有合法的继承权,并支持安提柯家族。伊庇鲁斯开局没有同盟,但有许多扩张的机会。
- Thrace: The realm of Lysimachos, a seasoned general of Alexander’s wars but perhaps less influential than most of the others we have mentioned. Thrace is aligned with Macedon against the Antigonids in Phrygia but its meager military resources are mostly spent protecting itself from the many tribes to its north and in the Thracian inland. Thrace starts allied with Macedon and with Odrysia as a vassal.
- 色雷斯:利西马科斯的国度,他是一位亚历山大东征的老将,但没有我们之前提到的那些老将那么有名。色雷斯亲近马其顿,与弗里吉亚的安提柯家族为敌,不过面对北伐和色雷斯内陆的许多部落,它有限的军事资源仅是自保尚有余力罢了。开局时与马其顿同盟,有附庸国奥德里西亚。
- Odrysia: Thracian tribal kingdom just north of Lysimachos domain. While technically a subject of Lysimachos it was just as often a rebellious enemy. Odrysia starts as a vassal of Thrace.
- 奥德里西亚:利西马科斯政权北方的色雷斯人部落王国。名义上是利西马科斯的附庸,许多时候其实处在叛乱中。开局时是色雷斯的附庸国。
- Taulantia: Kingdom north of Epirus ruled by the famous warrior king who have fought Alexander the great, Antipater and eventually Cassander. Offered refuge to Pyrrhus and his mother when Cassander wanted them dead years prior. Starts unaligned and without allies
- 道兰底亚:伊庇鲁斯北方的王国,由一位著名的战士国王统治,他和亚历山大大帝,安提帕特和卡山德都交过手。数年前曾在皮洛士和其母被卡山德通缉时庇护了他们。开局时没有盟友。
- Cavi: Small tribal vassal of Taulantia in Illyria.
- 卡维:道兰底亚在伊利里亚地区的小部落附庸。
- Paeonia: Tribal Kingdom in Upper Macedonia founded by a cadet branch to the Argead house of Macedon. Starts as a vassal of Macedon.
- 培奥尼亚:上马其顿地区的部落王国,由马其顿王室阿吉德家族旁系建立。开局时是马其顿的附庸。
