血脉

血脉是从一个特定的角色（血脉创建者）一代代传递下来的修正效果（即血脉本身），这个机制略微类似于王朝/家族，但是有一些额外的规则与限制。血脉本身象征着一个特定角色可能拥有的宏伟名声和围绕着他的故事的伟大功绩（也就是说和实际上的「血缘」关系无关，只要孩子挂着家族的纹章，哪怕不是实际上的亲生孩子也可以继承血脉）。取决于创建者的不同，你身上的血脉会给你带来不同的奖励，游戏中有很多不同的血脉可以被找到（或者创建）。血脉系统只有在神圣之怒DLC激活时才可用。

一些血脉可以通过特殊的行动获得，比如作为战士公会的英雄成为传奇，也可以做出伟大的壮举来以解锁某些血脉，像是扮演一个非常称职的维京掠夺者或是重建以色列。

获得一个血脉

一个血统是否可以传递给后代取决于血脉中的两个特殊属性:继承和转换。

继承

血脉不是真正的基于遗传给予的，而是根据其先祖的声望而存在的，因此根据血脉的不同类型，有些血脉可以被父系或者母系地遗传。血脉遗传的类型通常取决于所述血统的创建者的性别，这是因为人们相信有些特别的血脉只有在特定的性别下才是有效的。

如果一条血脉是父系的，那么可以正常地被儿子和女儿继承，但是只能从父亲那里继承。相反地,如果一条血脉是母系的，那么这条血脉可以正常地被儿子和女儿继承，但是只能从母亲那里继承。如果一个女人娶(?)了一个庶夫(consort)，尽管她的孩子会属于她的家族，但却并不会遗传他的血脉。(bug?)(来源请求)

另外，在游戏代码中还存在通用血脉和个体血脉(all_descendants/no_inheritance)，前者可以从父母双方处继承，而后者完全不能被继承。（但原版游戏中并不存在这两种血脉）

转换

从上述规则我们能得到一个自然推论，每个孩子只能拥有一种血脉，因为他们只能被传递父母之一的血脉。然而，通过使用血脉的 转换(覆盖) 机制，一个人可能可以继承更多的血脉。

这里描述了婚姻是 入赘婚姻（或者不清楚父亲是谁）的情形，在这种情况下，来自双方的血脉都将暂时的被视为通用血脉。这也意味着对于这种入赘婚姻来说，所有的孩子都将得到父母双方的所有血统。

注意，为了将父系和母系的血脉保持超过一代人，拥有许多血脉的孩子也必须进行入赘婚姻。但即使他们不这么做，所有已被“合并”的父系血脉将始终遗传给儿子，所有“合并”了的母系血脉将始终遗传给女儿。假设这个家庭同时有儿子和女儿出生，那么在之后把父系和母系的两枝血脉重新合并到一起也只是一件很容易的小事而已。(不知道在说啥)

Additionally, this means governments with enatic succession is much better suited in the creation of a "super bloodline", as they should be marrying matrilinealy anyway. In contrast, agnatic governments will never be able to have a super bloodline in power forever, not without inbreeding.

The following table provides examples of each of these situations:

关系	男性	女性	结果
(父系) 婚姻, 纳妾	拥有血脉的男性角色	女性角色	后代将得到父系的血脉，不会得到母系的血脉。
(父系) 婚姻, 纳妾	男性角色	拥有血脉的女性角色	后代将不会得到父系的血脉，会得到母系的血脉。
被发现的私生子	Known Male Character with Bloodline	Female Character	后代是否能得到父系的血脉要根据该血脉是否允许被私生子继承，且不会得到母系的血脉。
被发现的私生子	Known Male	拥有血脉的女性角色	后代将得到母系的血脉。
被发现的私生子	Unknown Male Character	Female Character with Bloodline	Bloodlines will be treated as universal. Offspring will receive Patrilineal Bloodline(s) and Matrilineal Bloodline(s) of the mother.
入赘婚姻	Male Character with Bloodline	Female Character	Bloodlines will be treated as universal. Offspring will receive the Patrilineal Bloodline(s) and Matrilineal Bloodline(s) of the father, provided the bloodline allows for it (almost all bloodlines do).
入赘婚姻	Male Character	Female Character with Bloodline	Bloodlines will be treated as universal. Offspring will receive the Patrilineal Bloodline(s) and Matrilineal Bloodline(s) of the mother, provided the bloodline allows for it (almost all bloodlines do).

史实血脉

某些著名的历史人物在可能在开始时就拥有血脉，或是会在他们生命的某些阶段创建一条。血脉会诞生与消亡，而根据不同的开始剧本，地图上已存在的血脉也会不同。

一些历史血统也可能会在游戏开始后被创建，由于此时的创建者可能和历史事实上的人不同，这些历史血统可能也会有不同的名称。这些血统大部分将被命名为Blood of [This.GetFirstNameWithNick]。

Ragnarr 'Lodbrok' will gain his nickname and bloodline between 780 and 795.
If Árpád succeeds in his Magyar Conquest of Hungary against Bulgaria he’ll found his bloodline.
If William succeeds in his invasion of England he’ll found his bloodline.
Sabuktigin, Seljuk and Timur will be created with their bloodline when corresponding Turkic Conqueror events fire.
Temüjin will gain, or be created with his bloodline when Mongol Invasion fires.
Become Genghis Khan decision which historically done by Temüjin Borjigin will give the character Genghis Khan bloodline.

圣徒和祖先崇拜血脉

主条目：Sainthood

These bloodlines are created posthumously when a character achieves sainthood or a reformed (with the Ancestor Veneration doctrine) pagan religion's equivalent.^[1]

Like the Warrior Lodge Bloodlines, the ancestor's bloodline is selected from amidst those eligible when the canonization (or the pagan ancestor worship event equivalent) occurs (Event HF.40020 / HF.40101 repectively).

Christian saints, upon canonization, will be give a province in their demesne (priority to the capital, then capital neighbouring provinces, and finally to demesne provinces more generally) the Tomb of the Saint modifier. They can then be used as a site of pilgrimage and on being looted can provide saintly artifacts.

Most bloodlines will end up being referred to as Blood of [Character Name].

创建血脉

All bloodlines that are not historical nor saintly bloodlines are flagged as created bloodlines. They can be formed through various events and are inherited the same way as historical bloodlines.

Many foundable bloodlines in game files have both a Patrilineal and Matrilineal variants. If founded on a male character, then it will be Patrilineal, if on a female character, Matrilineal. These (pairs of bloodlines, technically) are listed below as "Depending on Founder Gender".

伪造血脉

These bloodlines are earned through the Forge Bloodline ambition, available to duke+ rulers with with very high prestige.

By picking this ambition you will be provided with several paths to create your own custom Bloodline, tailoring it to whichever kind of ruler you wish to be remembered as. Each path will lead you to unlock a different bloodline, each coming in different variants. Additionally, if you pursue more than a single path at the same time, you have a chance of unlocking a hybridized Bloodline, with its own unique perks. The tasks provided by the ambition are as follows.

Murder or execute 30 people (regular duels and battlefield duels seem to count as well)
Win 15 foreign wars
Rule at peace for 30 years while the ambition is active
Build 10 castles
Build 10 cities
Build 10 temples

If you take too long to complete any of the initial paths, and were at least king tier when starting the ambition, you will eventually get an opportunity to invest resources and select from an additional pool of potential bloodlines.

Whether a created bloodline will be patrilineal or matrilineal depends on whether the founder is male or female. Warning: if you earn any created bloodline after starting this ambition, you will not be able to forge a new bloodline.

Murder bloodlines

There are five possible bloodlines from pure murder. Forging one will grant an appropriate nick name like "the Dragon" or "the Little Nightmare" based on which bloodline is acquired, assuming you don't have one. Also, forging the Dragon King bloodline adds , forging the Silent Killer bloodline adds and forging any of the others adds .
