你可以选择下面列出的某个剧本作为开始时间,也可以在1066至1337年之间选择一个自定义开始时间

选择开局日期

随着科技发展进步,庞大的国家将会更加稳定,各商业共和国也会成为经济强国。在后期的开始时间,更大的战争将会爆发,因为十字军、吉哈德和大圣战将能够被召唤,同时还有地图外的游牧部族入侵。

在后期的开始时间,由于建筑数量增加,游牧制统治者将会更难通过劫掠来摧毁地产;反抗劫掠的叛乱也会生成更多的部队。同时,部落制国家在地图上的一些地区也越来越少见。

你可以立即选择一个角色开始游玩,或者使用“观察者模式”在游玩之前先来搅搅局。

剧本

Each start date has its own major powers and regional dynamics. Learn how these historical realms tend to behave, and use this knowledge to form strategies and personal goals.

中世纪早期 (769)

需要拥有 DLC icon Charlemagne.png [[查理曼]] DLC
Catholic.png 卡尔和卡洛曼 兄弟二人分别统治着法兰克帝国的一部分。如果卡尔能像历史上一样重新统一法兰克, 他就会被称为 "卡尔 【伟大者】" 或 "查理曼"。之后他就能以 建立神圣罗马帝国为目标。
Orthodox Heresy.png In the Byzantine Empire, controversy rages regarding the use of religious images. The emperor and ecumenical patriarch are Iconoclast, but may revert to Orthodox Christianity by decision.
Sunni.png The Abbasid Caliphate is at the zenith of its power. However, powerful vassals are already biding their time to break free.
Catholic.png Sunni.png The Umayyad Sultanate of Al-Andalus controls large swathes of Hispania, a consolation prize of sorts after losing their empire to the Abbasids about 20 years prior. To their north, Asturias is in real danger of falling into Muslim hands. The Umayyads may inspire early Crusades if they successfully invade Aquitaine at Toulouse or Burgundy at Provence. However, unlike the 867 bookmark, the Umayyads will have more time to fortify themselves. By forging an empire, they can reclaim some of their lost glory.
Buddhist.png Bön.png Taoist.png Over in the East, the Empire of Tibet looms large over its neighbours, ruling over a realm still clinging to pagan ways; meanwhile the Western Protectorate is at the nadir of its power, as the Tang Dynasty has yet to recover from internal rebellion about a decade prior.

维京时代 (867)

Requires Dlc icon the old gods.pngThe Old Gods DLC
Norse.png In Scandinavia, small tribes are attempting to subjugate each other in the hope of forming Norway, Sweden and the Fylkirate.
The sons of Ragnarr Loðbrok are attempting to carve out pieces of England in revenge for the murder of their father. Farther east, Rurik is beginning his attempt to form Rus.
While the Norse are powerful now, they are vulnerable to gavelkind and conversion by missionaries.
Tengri.png King Arpad of the Magyars is beginning a series of invasions with the hope of settling in Hungary. Despite having massive event armies and access to the Tribal Invasion CB, the Hungarians often stay put after conquering de jure Hungary.
Catholic.png Six Karling kingdoms dominate Western Europe. Will enough Karling realms unite, through claim wars or inheritance, to create a new empire?
Catholic.png Sunni.png The Umayyad Sultanate of Al-Andalus controls 66% of Hispania, but Asturias has upgraded holdings and is therefore stronger than it looks. Just like in the 769 bookmark, the Umayyads may inspire early Crusades if they successfully invade Aquitaine at Toulouse; but now they'll have a lot less time to prepare for the counterattack.
Sunni.png The Abbasid Caliph, Al-Mu'tazz, rules over a weakened Arabian empire. Former vassals have become de facto independent. The Caliph's half-brothers consider claimant bids, while the Turkish dukes in Jerusalem clamor for independence. Meanwhile, the Saffarids ruling Persia have less than 90 years to prepare for a Seljuk invasion.

中世纪盛期 (1066)

Orthodox.png The descendants of Rurik have converted to Orthodox Christianity. The continued practice of gavelkind has left Ruthenia and Rus a mess of independent duchies, but anyone who dares to attack one is likely to draw the ire of all Rurikid rulers.
Catholic.png The Holy Roman Empire and France are major powers. The Karling dynasty rules neither: they have been reduced to a single county, Vermandois in France. Hungary, Poland, and much of Scandinavia have converted to Catholicism. Although Catholic and feudal, the Hungarians have not forgotten the raiding ways of their forefathers.
Catholic.png King Harold of England is being invaded by two claimants: Duke William "the Bastard" of Normandy, and King Harald "the hard-ruler" of Norway. (This describes 15 September 1066, before the battle of Stamford Bridge. If you wish to start with William the Conqueror, select 26 December 1066 instead.)
Catholic.png Sunni.png The Sunni Andalusians rule small duchies in the wake of the disintegration of Al-Andalus. The Catholic Castilians in northwest Hispania have also split into multiple kingdoms, ruled by three brothers. How long will Hispania remain a fierce battleground of holy wars and Castilian infighting?
Sunni.png Shia.png The Seljuk horde has swept through Persia and Mesopotamia, reducing the Abbasid Caliphate to a mere vassal duchy. But can they survive their rebellious vassals? Meanwhile, the decadent Fatimid dynasty controls Egypt and large swaths of the former Arabian Empire. However, the Caliph is bankrupt and the impending First Crusade seems poised to take back Jerusalem...

征服者威廉 (1066)

This minor bookmark can be selected using a custom game.
Catholic.png After a long campaign, William of Normandy has conquered England and sits on the throne he hardly fought for. However unrest grows in his realm, as his unruly Anglo-Saxon vassals grumble about the Norman conqueror and the new ways he brought from the south.
Orthodox.png Sunni.png The fate of Asia Minor shall be decided in the upcoming days, as Alp Arslan of the great Seljuk Empire prepares a massive invasion of Anatolia - will Byzantine Emperor Romanos IV be able to withstand the Turkic storm?

阿莱克修斯传 (1081)

This minor bookmark can be selected using a custom game.
Sunni.png After failing to usurp Persia, Suleyman Seljuk conquered Anatolia and created an independent Sultanate of Rum, claiming to be the rightful successor of the old Roman Empire.
Orthodox.png Constantinople is in danger from the rising Turks, but Alexios Komnenos has the potential to be a strong Byzantine Emperor and revert the setbacks of previous centuries.

第三次十字军远征 (1187)

This minor bookmark can be selected using a custom game.
Sunni.png Catholic.png The great sultan Saladin of Egypt has recaptured Jerusalem from infidel hands. With the Kingdom of Jerusalem in danger, the great leaders of Europe - Richard the Lionheart, Philippe Augustus and Frederick Barbarossa - prepare to embark to the Holy Land on the largest crusade ever.
Sunni.png Catholic.png The Christian kingdoms of Iberia reach a stalemate in the Reconquista, as the powerful Almohad Caliphate rises from beyond Gibraltar with the declared intent of halting the Christian invasion and returning Al-Andalus to its former glory.

拉丁帝国 (1204)

This minor bookmark can be selected using a custom game.
Catholic.png Orthodox.png The Fourth Crusade sacked the great city of Constantinople, and a new Latin Empire has risen from its ashes. However the remains of Byzantium - the Nicene Empire - may be able to retake the Imperial City and stop the empire's decline.
Sunni.png Tengri.png The Khwarazmian Empire rules Persia and Transoxiana with an iron hand, its eyes set on retaking lost territory. Meanwhile in distant Mongolia, a Mongol warrior plans to unite the divided tribes and forge an empire of his own.

蒙古时代 (1220)

Tengri.png The legendary Mongol leader Genghis Khan leads a vast horde, with the declared intent of uniting the whole world under the Mongol banner and the might of its armies.

汉萨同盟的崛起 (1241)

This minor bookmark can be selected using a custom game.
Tengri.png The Golden Horde controls Tartaria. The Ilkhanate controls Persia. The steppe nomads' attentions are likely to be focused towards Eastern Europe.
Catholic.png Dlc icon the republic.png A new merchant republic known as the Hansa has formed on the northern coast of the Holy Roman Empire. Venice and Genoa control large trade zones in the Mediterranean.

中世纪晚期 (1337)

Catholic.png The Hundred Years War between England and France is about to start.
Sunni.png The small Ottoman state in northwest Anatolia begins its rise to greatness as Byzantium declines.
Sunni.png The feared Tughluq empire is expanding across India, but internal dissent fueled by religious turmoil may create a power vacuum waiting to be filled.
