在封建制度下,统治者授予他们的部分直辖领给封臣 换取他们一部分的税收和征召兵。封臣的上层统治者则被称作领主(liege)。在王国风云2中,任何封臣都只会有唯一一个领主。
封建制度是一种分权化的制度,借由下放部分权力以换取封臣协助统治地方。 封臣可以把自己封得的领地再分封给更下一层的封臣,这被称作次级分封。 作为对臣民忠诚的回报,领主则提供了免受外部势力威胁的保护。
封臣是否履行职责取决于他们对领主的好感。好感越低,封臣缴交的税收和征召兵越少。如果好感过低,封臣甚至可能对领主进行阴谋或是加入派系与他人合作反抗领主。
请注意,当一个封臣从其领主领地之外继承了一个比原先高级别的头衔,新的头衔将成为他的主头衔,同时该封臣将从原先的领主独立出去。但若是领主授予给封臣或是封臣自己征服的更高级别头衔并不会使他独立出去,除非新头衔跟领主同级别或更高级。
等级
头衔有五个等级。一名领主只能成为一名更高级别领主的附庸。从最低至最高等级头衔各自的肖像与纹章边框如下图所示:
人物头衔 | 领地等级 | 描述 | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
男爵 | 男爵领 | 男爵(夫人)拥有地产 (也被称作男爵领),是游戏中最小的土地单位。地产可以是城堡、城市、神殿、部落或是游牧制首都。
男爵(商业共和国的贵人除外)是不可玩的角色,并被简化了计算以提高游戏效能。他们不能任命内阁和创建[派系]]。 男爵的头像使用青铜环,并被彩带缠绕(彩带颜色取决于政体种类) | ||
伯爵 | 伯爵领 | 伯爵(夫人)管理省份 (也被称作伯爵领),是游戏中地图上可见的最小土地单位。
公爵必定会拥有一个省份的首府地产(通常是城堡)。他们是同一省份的男爵法理上,通常也是实际上的领主。角色必须至少是一名伯爵才能被授予更高级别头衔。 伯爵的头像使用银环,并被彩带缠绕。 | ||
公爵 | 公国 | 公爵(夫人)管理公国。公爵级别以上开始能够产生科技点数。封臣必须至少达到公爵级别,他们的首都省份才能获得+15%的征召兵加成。当一个公爵拥有超过一个公国时则被称作大公,并给予他们+1直辖领上限。

国王 | 王国 | 国王/女王统治王国。国王级别以上才能制定领地法。创建一个法理的王国头衔需要至少两个公国头衔。
国王的头像使用金环,并被彩带缠绕。 | ||
皇帝 | 帝国 | 皇帝/女皇统治帝国且可能拥有几个国王级别封臣。由於需要微觀管理,對一個大帝國進行適當的管理往往會成為一項複雜的任務。

直属封臣上限
每一位拥有公爵及以上头衔的角色都会意识到他们无法拥有过多直属的封臣(只有伯爵及以上才会被计算在内;男爵级是不算的)。拥有过多的直属封臣会承受各种各样的惩罚(主要是税收和人力),一些封臣还可能在继承时独立。
这个限制鼓励统治者在领地较大的时候,提高他们的封臣位阶。扩张超过法理领土的帝国很可能需要一些国王级别的封臣。
部落制封臣不会加入他们非游牧领主的直属封臣上限的计算。但是当这些封臣拥有与领主相同的宗教与文化时,他们可能会快速地封建化。
游牧制的封臣不加入他们领主的直属封臣上限计算。
- 直属封臣上限受到以下指数影响:
- +3作为一个大公(拥有不只一个公爵头衔,但不是国王)
- +统治者外交能力修正 = 30% 统治者外交属性 + 15% 统治者配偶的外交属性
- 法律:
- +10对于中华帝国制
- -10对于部落制和游牧制
- +20对于使用帝国选侯制继承法(神罗特有)
税收
- 主条目:经济
如果非游牧制的封臣对领主有正好感,他们将会上缴税收,但是他们上缴的税收数量主要取决于两个因素:
如果 御前会议DLC已启用,统治者可以切换封臣义务的偏重 (透过领地法)将部分征兵换成更多征税。因改变税收法律而导致的封臣好感减少(或增加)是暂时性的。
除此之外,如果 御前会议DLC未启用,统治者也可以设置税法(透过直辖领法律),作为代价是永久性的减少封臣好感。 意思是你收的税越多,封臣对你的好感越差。因此,必须在两者之间取得平衡。
游牧制不需上缴税收给领主。同样的,部落制封臣也不会上缴税收给部落制领主,除非他们的部落制领主是另一个非部落制领主的附庸。
征召兵
- 主条目:征召兵
非游牧制和部分部落封臣(没有内阁)根据领地法和他们自己的人力有义务提供最小数量的征召兵给他们领主。
如果御前会议已启用,封臣必须提供的征召兵数值由领地法决定。所以统治者必须切换 封臣义务的偏重,降低税金以提高征兵(贵族、神职人员、市民是分开设置的)
貴族寧願多繳稅金而不是出兵,而市民寧願提供更多的士兵而非税金。不幸的,领主通常希望的正好相反。因改變征兵法律而導致的封臣好感減少(或增加)是暫時性的。
如果御前会议未启用,封臣提供的征召兵将依据:
无论是王权法的最小值和直辖领法律的最大值再高, 封臣的好感都会影响征兵数。因为封臣好感同时决定征兵数和封臣叛乱的可能性,一个不受欢迎的领主将处于极大危险中。 他们会冒着领地叛乱,并且从其他封臣手上征不到足够兵员镇压的风险。
游牧制的封臣则不会向领主提供征召兵。但是他们可以在战争中以盟友身份参战。在某些情况下,部落制封臣也不会向领主提供征召兵(部落制领主如果没有中等部落组织度以上和御前会议未启用,部落制封臣也可以在战争中以盟友身份参战。)独立的部落制统治者将总是 要求部落制封臣以盟友形式加入战争。
叛乱
- 主条目:派系
封臣不一定总是喜欢领主。从上面的章节可以知道封臣好感过低,会对领主的税收跟征兵产生损害,但是更糟的情况下,封臣可能会企图推翻他们的领主。
如果封臣离领主过于遥远,或是他们太过具有野心,他们将可能向领主发起叛乱并尝试使用武力夺取他们想要的。为此,封臣会加入派系以追求独立、降低王权、拥立其他宣称者或是改变继承法。当不满的封臣加入派系时,派系的力量 (依照他们的军队总数和领主的比例)将会增加。当派系积累足够实力时,派系的领导人将会向他们的领主发出最后通牒。如果领主不同意,战争就会爆发,所有的派系成员将加入战争对抗领主。
由于封臣只能向他们的直接领主发起叛乱,所以统治者无须担心次级封臣的好感。
封臣是否会加入派系取决于一些因素,因此拥有相同文化和宗教且在法理 领地下的封臣通常最为忠诚。
阶级制度
从基督教的欧洲到遥远的印度,阶级制度反映了中世纪最重要的社会等级制度。在这一时期,个人难以实现从一个阶级到另一个阶级的转变,王国风云2中同样如此。
本游戏中,人们被归为三个阶级:
- 神职人员(第一等级),包括宗教领袖,首领,僧侣,修女,牧师和传教士
- 贵族(第二等级),包括地主和他们的家人,子女和亲戚,即整个家族
- 平民(第三等级),包括盗贼,农民,仆人,工匠和商人。
在印度,角色被分为三种种姓对应三种阶级:婆罗门(神职人员),刹帝利(贵族)和吠舍(平民)。种姓在游戏中以特质形式展现,想要扮演印度达摩角色需要印度罗阇DLC。
截止到碧玉之龙DLC,王国风云2中至少男爵等级以上的角色才可以扮演,而AI控制的角色可以拥有各种头衔。如果玩家控制的角色只剩下男爵领,或者寺庙,城市,会导致游戏立即结束。
唯一的例外是(共和国DLC中)一种特殊种类的统治者:拥有公爵及以上等级和一个沿海的首都,将成为商业共和国的大市长,四个贵人家族成为其封臣。这五个家族将始终争夺大市长的头衔。
角色的游戏方式取决于其宗教,文化和政体类型。因此有地角色的头衔取决于这些因素可能会有不同的名称。无论如何,同等级别的头衔总会有相似的待遇。例如,公爵和埃米尔都被认为是公爵头衔。
头衔的不同名称根据以下优先级决定:
1.宗教组
2.宗教
3.政体类型
4.文化组
5.文化
如果没有找到特定的类型,将采用默认的方式(西欧基督教式)。注意这里的文化和宗教是指最高领主的文化和宗教,而不是封臣的。
贵族
- 主条目:Nobles
贵族通常统治在 城堡中. They are characters associated with land acquisition via conquest or shrewd court manipulation.
- 在 封建 系统中, rulers of count-tier or higher are members of the nobility; they share a dynasty of successive descendants
- In the Islamic world (requires the Sword of Islam DLC), Iqta nobles are allowed to rule over castles, as well as temples with no penalties
- Tribal nobles can only rule over tribes and benefit from empty holding slots, apart from the capital. They are known for their raiders and may adopt feudalism or found a merchant republic. The Old Gods or Holy Fury DLC is required to play as a Pagan tribal ruler
- Nomads are nobles who settle a single nomadic capital holding, and keep all other holdings empty to strengthen their hordes. As they manage their clans and ride freely over the Eurasian steppes, nomads are feared for their constant pillages, and they're allowed to move their capital more frequently (and carry along all buildings within it). The Horse Lords DLC is required in order to play as a nomad ruler.
- In India, Dharmic nobles are composed of Kshatriyas. The Rajas of India DLC is required in order to play as a Hindu character.
- In the Tibetan plateau, Monastic Feudal nobles are allowed to rule over castles, as well as temples with no penalties. Playing as a Bön non-nomad requires either the Old Gods or Jade Dragon DLC.

Note: The primary spouse of a ruler gets a minor title of "ruler consort", allowing them to use the gender-appropriate form of their spouse's ruler title. E.g., the wife of a sultan is called a "sultana." Similarly, "queen mother" and variants are available to the wives of deceased kings and emperors.
神职人员
- 主条目:Clergy
Clerics are members of the clergy and usually rule over temple holdings. Those characters are often associated with conversion, dealing with the Pope (if Catholic) or Patriarchs (if Orthodox), reforming religions (if Pagan), becoming one of the Caliphs, restoring priesthoods, fighting heresies, or managing the Hindu caste system.
- Note that due to the melded status of church and state within the Muslim world, any Islamic character owning a mosque title while being of count rank or higher will simply be referred to as their noble counterpart. As such, while the titles mullah, ayatollah, grand ayatollah and grand mufti are defined in the files, they will not appear in the game. (accurate as of Monks and Mystics DLC). Also, note that since Sword of Islam DLC, the caliph is no longer an emperor- or king-tier title, but a duke-tier title
- Pagan female clerics are allowed to rule over temple holdings, except for Aztecs, Tengri and Zunists. It is possible to reform a Pagan faith, as long as enough holy sites are controlled. The Old Gods or Holy Fury DLC must be active to play as a Pagan non-nomadic ruler.
- Characters who follow Judaism (requires Sons of Abraham DLC) or Zoroastrianism (requires The Old Gods DLC) are needed to control completely the Kingdom of Israel and the Persian Empire, respectively, to restore their priesthoods and reinstate their religious heads
- In nomadic lands, it is common for a liege's vassals to follow different religions. Therefore, they cannot demand religious conversion or freely-revoke land from infidels. Nomads can also reform their religion, if they are Pagans. The Horse Lords DLC is required in order to play as nomads.
- In India, Dharmic clerics are composed of Brahmins. The Rajas of India DLC is required in order to play as a Hindu character.
- In the Tibetan plateau, characters tend to follow Buddhism, Bön or Taoism. Playing as a Buddhist non-nomad character requires the Rajas of India DLC; Bön characters require either the The Old Gods or Jade Dragon DLC; Taoists require either Rajas of India or Jade Dragon DLC.

市民
Burghers represent the common people and normally rule over city holdings. Burghers are responsible for a large part of the world's economy, as they control the largest source of money in the game - cities. They push no claims, unlike nobles, and are relatively isolationist.
- They usually don't have much of an effect upon politics at large, except for duke-tier (or higher) burghers owning a coastal capital, because they become patricians - the rulers of merchant republics. There are usualy five patrician families campaigning for election victory in order to become the republican liege. The Republic DLC is required in order to play as a patrician.
- Patricians are allowed to rule over cities and castles
- Muslim patricians (requires Sword of Islam Expansion) cannot control temple holdings freely, but are unaffected by decadence, and are allowed to marry several wives
- Nomad (requires the Horse Lords DLC) or tribal rulers may choose to found a merchant republic, as long as they follow an organized (or reformed) religion, and then settle down
- In Dharmic societies, Hindu burghers are composed of Vaishyas. The Rajas of India DLC is required in order to play as a Hindu character.

其他政体的非男爵级封臣
It is possible to turn counties into tribes, republics or theocracies, government types that usually only rule barony-tier titles. The local ruler will have a -20 "Wrong government type" opinion penalty towards the feudal player character in many cases, but there can be benefits.
There are several ways to get non-feudal count+ vassals:
- If the player character holds a county and have a vassal mayor or cleric there, they can grant the county to the burgher / cleric, causing the mayor's city (or cleric's temple) to become the new county seat and elevating them to lord mayor or prince-bishop
- If the player character holds a county, as well as a city there, the player can right-click the city to set it as the new county seat. If the province title is granted to a courtier, they will create a republic government. The demoted castle can be given to the lord mayor (so they pay more taxes) or to another character (so the lord mayor has fewer troops to use against their liege)
- By pressing a mayor's or bishop's claim.
部落制封臣
拥有部落制封臣时,最常见的方法是尽可能的快速转换他的部落成城堡。使用此策略时,选择拥有与你相同文化和宗教的封臣是重要的。因为不同文化和宗教会有好感减成,而且不同文化还会产生「错误的政府类型」导致更多的好感减成,使其更不愿意封建化。
部落制封臣的收入很少,所以自行帮他在首都建造石墙山堡会更快些。将多个部落制的省份分给同一个部落制封臣会更加划算,因为只要他的首都有石墙山堡(以及足够的科技)就能整个封建化。當授予角色一個公國或足夠多的縣省份來創建一個公國時,請首先授予該公國法理上的首都,以使他們不會因首都的變化而感到驚訝?。
或者,部族制封臣可以用來規避封臣上限的限制(因为他们不会算进去),並保留一批合格的指揮官。使用此策略时,选择不同 宗教的封臣可能是有利的,因为他们不太可能封建化并且可以任意剥夺头衔。
对于部落制领主,只要能夠將這些封臣以盟友形式加入战争,直接的部落封臣便是其軍事力量的主要來源。
共和制封臣
共和制拥有较高的收入以及较高的税率(给领主),但是提供的征召兵非常少。
一般的共和制使用开放选举继承法,所有的头衔将继承给拥有最高年纪以及威望的市民。玩家可以透过授予候选人土地或是透过入赘婚姻来阻止他继承。市民不会主动求婚,但是只要年满25岁就会接受求婚。
沿海的共和制封臣只要拥有公爵级别就会自动转成商业共和国并且可以建造贸易站来改善领主整个沿海的经济。 可以查看创建共和制封臣获得更多技巧。
商业共和国应该尽可能争取更多的共和制封臣,以获取更多税收,并可以拿来加强他们的近卫军。
神权制封臣
Like republics, a theocracy provides more taxes than troops, and generally uses Open Elective succession.
A ruler of a powerful vassal theocracy can serve as the Lord Spiritual, potentially relieving some of the pressure to put incompetent feudal vassals in important council positions.
Catholics can use Free Investiture to ensure both loyalty and competence. Catholics can also use their major vassal theocracies to control the election of Popes, "secular power" being a major factor in selection of cardinals. However, Catholics should keep in mind that bishops pay taxes to the Pope and stop providing troops if they like the Pope more than their liege. Catholic kings and emperors might want to "invest" in a vassal theocracy for their (and their descendants') coronation, as the Pope's demands in return for coronation can be exorbitant.
雇佣兵和骑士团封臣
The player may have an opportunity to vassalize a mercenary company or holy order. With vassalization, their company becomes available at 1/5 the normal cost and also prevents anyone else from hiring them. They are considered feudal for the purpose of comparing government types, and will not resent having a normal feudal liege.
With Sons of Abraham DLC and "Imperial Administration" law (or Iqta government), having a vassal holy order has an additional benefit: Free castles. A holy order grandmaster owning less than 10 realm size may spend 300 wealth to build a castle in any county belonging to a ruler of their religion. It is possible to use "Imperial Administration" law to retract these castles, allowing them to build new ones. However, to keep holy orders as vassals, the liege should ensure that grandmasters have at least -20 opinion of them.
