Hello and welcome to another Development Diary for Imperator:Rome!
大家好，欢迎阅读罗马的又一篇日志。

I am @Trin Tragula and today I will talk a bit about maps and the political situation at the start of the game.
我是Trin Tragula，今天就由我来讨论一点关于地图和游戏开局形势的内容。

Previously we have talked about how we have approached researching the map. In this diary I will instead focus on what our map actually looks like, and the situation in Italy at our start date, 304 BC. This date was chosen after long consideration and we hope that it will provide an as interesting setting for a game that spans the main expansive phase of Rome’s existence (as well as many other things, but we will get to those later, in other diaries).
之前我们展示过我们是如何开始研究地图的。今天我则是去展示我们的地图实际上长啥样，以及游戏开局304BC时意大利的情况。这个开局时间是经过我们深思熟虑的，我们希望为罗马的扩张阶段提供一些有趣的背景设定（还有其他内容，我们会在之后的日志中介绍）

Italy Ab Urbe Condita 450 - 304 BCE

AUC（罗马建城纪年）450即公元前304年的意大利

Central Italy - The Rise of Rome:

意大利中部 - 罗马崛起

At the start of Imperator, the city of Rome is already an impressive 450 years old. Rome has however not been a major force for nearly as long. In the last 40 years leading up to our start Rome has begun to grow quickly, first unifying the lands of the Latin League under its rule and then expanding at the expense of its former Samnite allies.
在开局的时间点，罗马城业已存在惊人的450年。然而罗马作为强权的时间远没有这么久。在开局之前的四十年间，罗马迅速成长，先是统一了拉丁同盟的领土，之后藉进攻前盟友萨莫奈人大肆扩张。

The recently concluded Great Samnite war has transformed Rome from a local power in Latium and designs on Campania to a large country stretching right across the central Apennines to the Adriatic coast.
最近结束的大萨莫奈战争（第二次萨莫奈战争）使得罗马从坎帕尼亚和拉丁姆的地区强权一举发展成从亚平宁中部到亚得里亚海岸的大国。

The defeat of both Samnium and Etruria has both sent shockwaves through Italy and made a few influential Romans very influential and very rich. This is an age where the Republic went through a period of dynamic development, with its institutions and its internal politics transforming from that of a small city to what would become the center of a growing empire.
萨莫奈和伊特鲁里亚的战败在意大利引起轰动，并且使得某些出类拔萃的罗马人变得非常富有和有影响力。在这个时代，罗马共和国正经历高速发展期，它的制度和内政正在变化，罗马正由一个小城市发展成一个不断壮大的帝国的心脏。

Playable Countries:
可选国家

Rome: Independent Italic City State that has grown in the last 40 years to be the dominant power in Central Italy. Having just defeated both the Samnites and Etruscans, and acquired a number of new Feudatory subject states, Rome is starting to draw the attention of more faraway powers such as Carthage, Rhodes and Epirus. While the success of the Samnite wars have cemented Roman military superiority, they also highlight how even small conflicts can blow up into great multisided wars in this region.
罗马：独立的意大利城邦，在过去的四十年里迅速崛起为意大利中部的主导力量。刚刚击败了萨莫奈和伊特鲁里亚，并且获得了一些附庸国的罗马共和国开始引起诸如迦太基，罗德岛和伊庇鲁斯等遥远强国的注意。萨莫奈战争巩固了罗马的军事优势，但也展示了在这个地区，小冲突可以迅速升级成多边大战。
Samnium: League of Samnite states. Former ally but now immediate rival of Rome that has just been defeated in the Second Samnite war. Controls a number of fortifications that cut Central Italy from the south. The emergence of a strong Roman power have made them look abroad for supporters, to Etruria, Carthage and Syracuse.
萨莫奈：萨莫奈人城邦的联盟。罗马的前任盟友和现任死敌，在第二次萨莫奈战争中刚被罗马击败不久。她控制着许多防御工事，将意大利的南部与中部截开。罗马强权的崛起促使萨莫奈在海外寻求盟友，例如迦太基，叙拉古，伊特鲁里亚。
Etruria: Tribal Federation of Etruscan states. The Etruscans are the formerly dominant people in Central Italy and overlords of Rome and many other states in the region. Now, however, they are a power of much more limited power and influence. They retain control over the central Etrurian region as well as parts of the island of Corsica, which was conquered with Carthaginian help many years ago.
伊特鲁里亚：伊特鲁里亚人城邦的部落联盟。伊特鲁里亚人曾经是意大利中部的主导力量，罗马及这一区域许多国家的宗主。然而现在他们只是一个影响力和实力有限的国家。她现在依然保有对中伊特鲁里亚地区的控制，占据着与迦太基一起征服的科西嘉岛的一部分。
Sipontum: Small greek city state on the Adriatic coast. Sipontum belongs to a number of states that try to get by without being pulled into the designs of nearby powers such as the Samnites or Epirus on the other side of the Adriatic.
西旁托：亚德里亚海边的一个希腊城邦，西旁托和其附近的一些城邦试图在远离亚德里亚海另一边的强权——例如伊庇鲁斯或者萨莫奈——的影响的同时生存下去。
Frentani: Sabellian Tribal Kingdom on the Adriatic coast. The Frentani control a vital communication route between the Roman colonies in the east and the route through the Apennines to Rome proper and are among the groups that turned to Rome to offer their allegiance at the end of the Great Samnite war.
弗伦塔尼：萨贝利人在亚得里亚海岸的部落王国。她控制着罗马和罗马东方的殖民地之间的交通要道，即穿越亚平宁到罗马的道路。她是在第二次萨莫奈战争结束时投靠罗马的附庸国之一。
Nuceria: Sabellian Plutocratic Republic, that fought against Rome in the Great Samnite War. The small state was however spared any vengeance in return for their everlasting loyalty to Rome and starts as a Roman Feudatory.
努凯里亚：萨贝利人的金权共和国，在大萨莫奈战争中对抗罗马。然而，作为保证对罗马永恒忠诚的回报，这个小国没有遭到任何报复，并以罗马附庸国身份在游戏中开局。
Peligni: Medium Sized Tribal Kingdom in the upper Apennines. Sued for peace with Rome in order to become a Roman Feudatory at the end of the Second Samnite War.
佩里尼：上亚平宁的中等规模的部落王国。它在第二次萨莫奈战争结束向罗马请求和平，成为罗马的附庸国。
Marsia: Tribal Kingdom by the shores of the new lost lake of Fucino. Formerly Samnite ally but now Roman Feudatory since the end of the second Samnite war.
玛西亚：位于近代被抽干的富奇诺湖岸边的部落王国。从前是萨莫奈盟友，第二次萨莫奈战争结束后成为了罗马的附庸国。
Sabinia: Small Tribal kingdom precariously situated on the border of Etruria and Rome. While relations have never been good with the Romans, their recent victories have made Roman settlers even more interested in Sabinian land.
萨比尼亚：不安全地处于伊特鲁里亚和罗马边境的部落王国。虽然与罗马人的关系从来都不好，但他们最近的胜利让罗马殖民者对萨比尼人的土地越发感兴趣。
Picentia: Tribal kingdom on the Adriatic coast. Neighbors with Ancona and allies of Umbria.
皮森提亚：亚得里亚海沿岸的部落王国。安科纳的邻居，翁布里亚的同盟。
Umbria: Aristocratic Republic in the Umbrian Apennines. Traditional enemies of the Etruscans and friends of Samnium. Allied with Picentia.
翁布里亚：翁布里亚人在亚平宁的贵族共和国。伊特鲁里亚的传统敌人，萨莫奈的友邦，皮森提亚的盟友。
Ancona: Greek city state founded by Syracusan settlers. The local economy based on the export of dyes. With Syracusan presence in the adriatic waning Ancona is nowadays on its own, and surrounded by much stronger tribal countries.
安科纳：叙拉古殖民者建立的希腊城邦。当地经济以染料出口为基础。随着叙拉古在亚得里亚海周边的存在日渐衰落，安科纳如今独立存在，被强大得多的部落国家所包围。

Sicily in the age of Agathocles

阿加托克利斯时代的西西里

Sicily is one of the greatest and richest islands of the Mediterranean. Like southern Italy it is home to a sizable Greek population, but unlike southern Italy it also has both valuable mines and great farmlands.
西西里岛是地中海最大、最富饶的岛屿之一。和意大利南部一样这里居住着大量的希腊人，但与意大利南部不同的是，这里既有宝贵的矿藏，也有广阔的农田。

In 304 BC the island is divided between the Great Power of Carthage and the Kingdom of Syracuse. The latter is ruled by the self proclaimed Tyrant Agathocles. A man who rose from humble origins and a life as a soldier and an adventurer, to be the leader of the greatest city on the island.
公元前304年，该岛被列强迦太基和叙拉古王国瓜分。后者由自称为僭主的阿加托克利斯统治。他出身卑微，一生当过士兵和冒险家，后来成为岛上最大城市的领袖。

Agathocles’ installation in Syracuse can in many ways be attributed to Carthage, who assisted with their army, hoping to destabilize the Greek state with which they had competed for hegemony over both the island of Sicily itself as well as Corsica and Sardinia.
阿加托克利斯在叙拉古的掌权在很多方面可以归因于迦太基，后者的军队曾经扶植他，希望藉此破坏这个与他们争夺西西里岛、科西嘉岛和撒丁岛霸权的希腊城邦的稳定。

No sooner had Agathocles been installed and slaughtered his political opposition, than he turned on his former allies. The last 8 years have been a long and drawn out struggle between Syracuse and Carthage. One in which the seemingly much stronger North African republic would see its countryside in modern Tunisia burn, and its commanders decapitated.
阿加托克利斯在掌权并杀光了他的政敌后，立即转而攻击前盟友迦太基。过去8年是叙拉古和迦太基之间旷日持久的拉锯战。这场战使得看似强大得多的北非共和国的本土（位于现代的突尼斯）乡村被焚烧，其指挥官被斩首。

Nonetheless the peace that was finally signed in 306 BC, just two years before our start date, has more or less been a return to status quo. Carthage and Syracuse still control about as much of the island as they did before, and a central part remains unaligned, unwilling to directly declare for either side.
尽管如此，他们还是于开局的两年前，即公元前306年签下和约，基本上恢复了战前原状。迦太基和叙拉古仍然像以前一样控制着这个岛的大部分。而中部仍然是不结盟的，不愿意直接宣布支持任何一方。

This is an uneasy peace, more dictated by a will to gain respite than real will to seek reconciliation. In Carthage itself, an ambitious general takes this as an opportunity to proclaim himself Tyrant, much like Agathocles did years prior. But where Agathocles could massacre his opponents, Bomilcar is abandoned by all his friends and publicly crucified.
这岌岌可危的和平与其说是双方寻求和解的结果，不如说是因为双方都急于获得喘息的时间。在迦太基，一个雄心勃勃的将军博米尔卡把这当作就像阿加托克利斯多年前在叙拉古所做的那样，夺权成为迦太基僭主的机会。但与成功清洗政敌的阿加托克利斯不同，博米尔卡众叛亲离，被公开钉死在十字架上。

It is now 304 BC and in the east Alexander’s former generals have begun declaring themselves kings in their own right. Despite the uneasy truce with Carthage, Agathocles has decided to do the same, and names himself King of Sicily. What his plans are for realizing these ambitions are, only time can tell.
到了现在的公元前304年，在东方，亚历山大大帝的将军们开始宣称他们自己是合法的国王。尽管与迦太基的休战协议随时可能破裂，阿加托克利斯还是决定照做，宣布自己为西西里岛国王。只有时间才能告诉我们他计划如何实现这些雄心壮志。

Playable Countries:
可选势力

Syracuse: Sicilian Greek Kingdom that at times have controlled most of the island. Only a medium power in the grand scheme of things but an important strategic piece of the mediterranean puzzle. Syracuse has previously been the overlord of much of Southern Italy and many expect that it has ambitions to that effect again.
叙拉古：西西里岛希腊王国，有些时间段里控制着西西里岛大部分地区。在天下大势中，叙拉古只是一个中等强国，但它却是地中海拼图中具有重要战略意义的一块。叙拉古曾是意大利南部许多城邦的宗主，人们期待叙拉古会有雄心再次实现这一地位。
Siculia: The weakest country on Sicily, this small Tribal country represents the various cities that are not under Syracusan or Carthaginian control at our start. Their population are mostly Siculians and Greeks.
西库利亚：西西里岛上最弱的势力，这个小部落国家代表着岛上各个在游戏开局时不属于叙拉古或者迦太基控制下的城市。他们的人口主要是西库利亚人和希腊人。
Carthage: Carthage is not a Sicily based power, and we will speak more about them in a future diary. Nonetheless they are one of the most influential playable countries in this region. The population of Carthaginian Sicily is a mix of Carthaginians, native Siculians, and Greeks.
迦太基：迦太基不是以西西里岛为基本盘的国家，我们会在以后的日志中详细介绍他们。不管如何迦太基依然是本地区最有影响力的可选势力。迦太基属西西里的人口由迦太基人，土著西库利亚人和希腊人的组成。

Southern Italy - Magna Graecia

南意大利——大希腊地区

At the time of our start date Southern Italy is a divided region. Also known as “Magna Graecia” It is home to a number of Greek city states, many who have ties to their former homeland, and to the great Hellenic power of Syracuse. The region is also home to a number of large tribal federations such as the Bruttian and Lucanian Leagues.
在游戏开局，意大利南部是个四分五裂的地区。它也被称为“大希腊”，是许多希腊城邦的所在地，许多希腊殖民城邦与他们过去的母邦，还有地区强权叙拉古有着千丝万缕的联系。该地区也是许多大型部落联盟的所在地，如布鲁蒂亚（Bruttian）联盟和卢卡尼亚（Lucanian）联盟。

Many of the Greek cities once cooperated in the Italiote League, but many divisive conflicts have made that form of cooperation less relevant.
许多希腊城邦曾经在意大利同盟中彼此合作，但许多分裂冲突使得这种合作组织失去了意义。

Historically Syracuse has been dominating force in the region, but now Epirus, Rome, the Samnite League and even Sparta are also meddling in local politics.
历史上叙拉古一度在该地区占据霸主地位，但现在伊庇鲁斯、罗马、萨莫奈联盟甚至斯巴达也在影响当地政治。

The end of the Second Samnite war in the north is about to send ripples through the political sphere, with some major powers reorienting themselves to be able to protect themselves from Rome, and others instead seeking Roman protection.
北方第二次萨莫奈战争的结束在当地政治引起连锁反应，一些当地大国重新调整自己的战略以抵御罗马的威胁，而另一些国家则转而寻求罗马的保护。

Playable Countries:
可选势力

Tarentum: Small but influential Greek City state, leader of the new defunct Italiote league. Tarentum has often been an ally of the Samnites and sometimes an enemy of Rome. Fearing growing Roman power, the Samnites have come to support Agathocles of Syracuse but Tarentum is equally concerned with Roman and Syracusan aggression and has instead sought other friends. It has found new allies in Sparta, Epirus and even the former enemy Messapia.
塔伦图姆：规模虽小但很有影响力的希腊城邦，现已解散的意大利联盟的领导人。塔伦顿经常是萨莫奈的盟友，有时也是罗马的敌人。由于担心罗马势力的增长，萨莫奈开始支持叙拉古的阿加托克利斯，但塔伦图姆对罗马和叙拉古的侵略同样担忧，转而寻求其他盟友。它结交的新盟友包括斯巴达、伊庇鲁斯、甚至过去的敌人麦萨皮亚。
Lucania: Tribal Kingdom and Regional Power representing the Lucanian League. Enemies of Tarentum and the Samnites, Lucania is in some ways a logical ally for Rome, at least for now. Should Roman expansion take them too far south this might easily change in the future.
卢卡尼亚：部落王国和区域强权，代表着卢卡尼亚同盟。作为塔伦图姆和萨莫奈的敌人，卢卡尼亚按理是罗马的盟友，至少目前是这样。如果罗马的扩张伸向南方太远，这将促使他们的政策改变。
Messapia: Tribal Messapian Kingdom on the heel of the Italian Boot. Historically often at odds with Tarentum but for now instead allied with both them and and the Apulians.
麦萨皮亚：位于意大利靴子后跟的麦萨皮亚人部落王国。历史上经常与塔伦图姆冲突，但现在却与他们和阿普利亚人结盟。
Apulia: Tribal Messapian Kingdom, allied with Messapia.
阿普利亚：麦萨皮亚人部落王国，与麦萨皮亚结盟。
Bruttia: Tribal Kingdom in the far southern tip of Italy. Asserts influence over many of the nearby Greek cities and as such is the main safeguard against any Syracusan expansion in the region.
布鲁提亚：位于意大利最南端的部落王国。在附近的希腊城市中保持影响力，因此提防着叙拉古在本地区的扩张。
Croton: Old Greek city state maintaining a precarious independence from the Bruttia. In a defensive league with Metapontum and Herakleia.
克罗顿：古老的希腊城邦，其政治独立时刻受到布鲁提亚的威胁。同麦塔旁顿和赫拉克利亚处在一个共同防御联盟中。
Metapontum: Greek city state on the Tarentine Gulf. Metapontum is in a defensive league with Herakleia and Croton.
麦塔庞顿：塔伦蒂诺海湾边的希腊城邦。同克罗顿和赫拉克利亚处于一个共同防御联盟中。
Hipponion: Greek city state and tributary to Bruttia, traditional rival of Croton, historically often in the Syracusan sphere of influence.
西波尼翁：希腊城邦，克罗顿的传统敌人，布鲁提亚的附属国，历史上常在叙拉古的势力范围内。
Locri: Greek Plutocratic Republic, feudatory of Syracuse.
洛克利：希腊金权共和国，叙拉古的附庸国。
Rhegium: A formerly influential city in Magna Graecia, the Plutocratic Republic of Rhegium is a feudatory of Syracuse.
雷吉乌姆：作为在大希腊地区一度很有影响力的城邦，雷吉乌姆金权共和国现在是叙拉古的附属国。
Thuria: Small and weak Greek City state with a very diverse greek population. Tributary to Bruttia.
图里亚：弱小的希腊城邦，其希腊人口多样化。是布鲁提亚的附属国。
Herakleia: Small Greek City state surrounded by Tarentum and Lucania. Herakleia is currently in a defensive league with Metapontum and Croton but is likely to reorient itself towards one of its larger neighbors.
赫拉克利亚：被塔伦图姆和卢卡尼亚包围的希腊小城邦。赫拉克勒亚目前与麦塔庞顿和克罗顿处于防守联盟，但可能会重新调整自己的战略方向，投向她其中更强大的那个邻国。

Northern Italy & Gallia Cisalpina

意大利北部和山南高卢

In 304 BC the northern Italian basin is dominated by Celtic, Lepontic, tribes. Many among these tribes migrated into the area at the beginning of the century; a moment in time quite entrenched in the Roman psyche, as the tribesmen reached as far south as the city of Rome itself, sacking it, in what would be remembered as the Gallic disaster.
公元前304年，意大利北部盆地正处于说凯尔特语和山南高卢语的部落的统治下。这些部落中的许多是在本世纪初移居到这个地区的；那是个在罗马人意识形态中难以忘怀的历史时刻：凯尔特部落民南下洗劫罗马城，即所谓的高卢灾难。

Apart from occasional raids and mercenary bands, however, this region is not as integrated with Central and Southern Italy. To most states in this region the growing Roman state is not yet seen as a threat.
然而，除了偶尔的袭击和雇佣军团伙，这个地区与意大利中部和南部的联系并不紧密。对这个地区的大多数势力来说，不断壮大的罗马国家还没有被视为威胁。

Senonii: Small Celtic tribe from Gaul. Responsible for raiding Latium and Etruria as well as the sacking of Rome, and the continued fear of Celtic raids among the Romans.
塞诺尼：来自高卢的凯尔特小部落。对掠夺拉丁地区，伊特鲁里亚以及洗劫罗马负责，在罗马人中间引起了对凯尔特人袭击的长期恐惧。
Friniati: Mountainous tribal kingdom in the northern Apennines on the border between Etruria and the Boi.
弗里尼纳蒂：处于亚平宁半岛北部的山地部落王国，邻接伊特鲁里亚和波伊。

基努阿特斯：位于荒凉的利古里亚海岸的部落王国。守卫着进入意大利的路线之一，但许多人认为这条路线比阿尔卑斯山的路线更难穿越。

That was all for today. Hopefully you have enjoyed this diary about the setup at the start of the game. Next week I will talk a bit about the Greek world and of the Greek Military Traditions.
这就是今天日志的全部内容。希望你们喜欢今天的日志，以及开局时的设定。下周我将谈些关于希腊世界和希腊军事传统的内容。
