CK3の紹介 #08 - テクノロジー. Havocがテクノロジーと、それをどのようにアンロックするかについて紹介してくれます!

革新性(Innovations)とは、ある文化が編みだすことのできた技術的、法的、イデオロギー的な進展を表すものです。ひとたび革新性がアンロックされると、アンロックした文化のあらゆる伯爵領とキャラクターがそれを使うことができるようになります。革新性は、軍隊と市民(Military and Civic)、文化(Cultural)、地域(Regional)の3つのカテゴリーに分類されます。

  • 軍隊と市民の革新性にはいくつかの要因に基づいて毎月アンロックに向けて進捗するわずかな可能性があります。要因の中で最も重要なのはその文化の伯爵領の開発度の平均です。最も重要な要因の2番目は、すでに革新性をアンロックした別の文化に属する伯爵領との隣接数です(伝播/Exposure)。
  • 地域の革新性は、文化が特定の地域(Region)において十分な存在感を持っているときにアンロックされます。たとえその地域が失ったとしてもアンロックは維持されます。
  • 文化の革新性は常に有効ですが、特定の文化を必要とします。

封建制(Feudal)と氏族制(Clan)の政府はより高い王権(Crown Authority)と慣習的領有権(De Jure claim)をアンロックするのを革新性に依存しています。開戦事由

進捗の可能性は、5パーセント + 志向(Fascination)のパーセント + 伝播の40%です。

同じ宗教内の別の文化がすでに革新性を持っている場合は伝播が得られます。

志向のパーセントは20%がベースで、それに加えて文化指導者(Culture Head)の学識能力1に対して2%追加されます。 科学的手法(Scientific)のパークがあればこれらの値は文化指導者の学識能力1に対して2.7%となり、最大27%まで上がります。

進捗量 = 0.3 + (その文化の州の平均の開発度 * 0.02) + 0.2(時代が進んでいれば)

「スラヴの統一(Unite the Slavs)」のようなディシジョン(decisions)によるランダムの革新性は、ゲーム内の日付によって決定されます。

時代

各文化はその文化がどのような革新性をアンロックできるかを決定する4つの時代(Era)のうちのどこか1つに位置しています。

ある時代の革新性の少なくとも50%がアンロックされ、必要最低限の西暦に達すると、文化はその文化の伯爵領の平均的な  開発度に基づいて次の時代にゆっくりと進捗します。

文化指導者(Cultural Head)が部族制(Tribal)なら、その文化は他の時代に進むことはできません。

※説明文は日本語化MOD(CK3_JPM_PROJECT)の成果を使用しております。

時代 最低限の西暦 説明
部族(Tribal)
 
476 部族の時代は成文化した法と制度化された政府の出現以前の文化です。部族制の政府を持つ統治者は部族の時代の革新性しか利用できません。
中世初期(Early Medieval)
 
900 中世初期の時代は専門の管理者の出現と複数の重要な革新性が見られ、文化が暗黒時代を抜け出せるようになります。
中世盛期(High Medieval)
 
1050 中世盛期の時代は技術と行政が大きく進歩をはじめ、町が都市へと発展し貴族が最高の地位を占める一方で市民階級が台頭してきます。
中世後期(Late Medieval)
 
1200 中世後期の時代は封建世界の頂点です。官僚、職人、商人、貸金業者は旧特権階級の力を侵害しはじめていますが、君主自身には及んでいません。

部族時代の革新性の一覧

部族時代のすべての革新性をアンロックすることは、(独立した部族制の支配者のために)封建制の受け入れ(Adopt Feudal Ways)氏族制の受け入れ(Adopt Clan Ways)のディシジョンが求められます。

  Gavelkind   Can enact the Confederate Partition Law Stability and prosperity go hand-in-hand. Instead of having vassals jockey for power when the old monarch passes away, we can define a predetermined, equitable system of inheritance which will eliminate much of the instability which traditionally occurs on succession. innovation_gavelkind

Delegating some authority to local councils will let them resolve these issues without needing to get the king involved. innovation_development_02

Military innovations

  Arched Saddle   Can recruit Armored Horsemen Men-at-Arms Light cavalry are a force to be reckoned with, but they do not truly exploit the potential of the warhorse.

Establishing hereditary designs to identify our noble families will cause their members to see themselves as part of a greater whole, encouraging them to improve their dynasty's reputation instead of merely being obsessed with personal status. innovation_heraldry
  Land Grants   -10% Casus Belli Prestige Cost
  +50%"Fabricate Claim on County" Councilor Task Speed
Land is the most valuable reward we can bestow upon our subjects, but there is only so much that we directly own. However, if we were to grant them permission to start farming that unworked land over there... who would object? Even if conflict does result, we will clearly be in the right when we defend our subjects! innovation_land_grants
  Scutage   +5% Republican Vassal Tax Contribution
  Unlocks the Scutage Feudal Contract
Military service has always been expected of our subjects, but there are some who are unable or unwilling to provide it. By offering a way for them to meet their obligations with coin instead of steel, we can ensure that we get our dues from everyone. innovation_scutage
  Urbanization   Counties reach the maximum Existing Development penalty at 55 Development The great cities of Rome, Byzantium, and Delhi have long stood out as relics of a great, unmatchable legacy. As our infrastructure and population grow, we finally have the means to develop new settlements which rival these ancient urban centers. innovation_development_03

  Castle Baileys   +15% Levy Reinforcement Rate
  Unlocks all High Medieval Era Military Buildings

  Hoardings   Unlocks all High Medieval Era Fortification Buildings Placed on the top of our battlements, these wooden constructions extend out above the base of our castle walls.

Nobility is more than just privileges and rights; it also comes with a duty to the realm, an obligation to act in ways that are proper and just.

  Primogeniture   Can enact the Primogeniture Law

  Adaptive Militia
  • Dutch
  Can recruit Goedendag Militia Men-At-Arms Weapons like the goedendag are cheap and easy to produce, yet surprisingly effective against cavalry charges. Their existence allows us to adapt our militias to have much better odds when fighting armored knights. innovation_adaptive_militia
  Legionnaires
  • Roman
  Can recruit Palatini Men-At-Arms Just as we have restored the Roman empire, so too shall restore the structure of the old Roman legion and its feared elite troops! innovation_legionnaires
  Longbow
  • English
  • Welsh
  Can recruit Longbowmen Men-At-Arms Taking advantage of the strong yew wood that grows here, our bowyers have learned to make longbows so powerful they require specialized training from an early age to use effectively. This investment is worth it, as our longbowmen can shoot arrows which travel further and penetrate deeper than those fired by other archers. innovation_longbows
  Rectilinear Schiltron
  • Gaelic
  • Scots
  Can recruit Schiltron Men-At-Arms The traditional pike circle is a powerful defensive formation, but it is limited in offense and mobility. While requiring great discipline to employ, our rectilinear schiltron is a superior formation which is capable of both powerful offensive and defensive tactics. innovation_rectilinear_schiltron
  Valets
  • Breton
  • French
  • Norman
  • Occitan
  Can recruit Gendarmes Men-At-Arms Establishing a valet system of dedicated servants for our noble horsemen will enable us to field knights who are both better armed and armored. innovation_valets
  Zweihanders
  • Frankish
  • Lombard
  • All Central Germanic except Dutch and Frisian
  Can recruit Landsknechts Men-At-Arms These massive two-handed swords are as adept at cutting down charging knights as they are at breaking enemy pike formations, making them a formidable addition to our own pike regiments. innovation_zweihanders
