密謀生活重心

本頁面所適用的版本可能已經過時，最後更新於2.8。
（重新導向自Intrigue focus）


Characters with the DLC icon Way of Life.pngIntrigue focus get +3 intrigue skill and +5% plot power. They can spy on characters to discover plots, get other imprisonment reasons, or slander people. They can also attempt to free certain prisoners and concubines from captivity.

Success rate improves as a character levels up through Amateur Schemer, then Schemer, and finally the Master schemer.png lifestyle trait.

Spy on

The intrigue focus enables a new diplomatic interaction, letting you spy on one character in the same realm. Every 40 days, a tombola event fires:

Effect Weight Requirements & modifiers
No effect 200* More or less likely depending on:
  • Difference in intrigue skill (at differences of 3, 5, and 10)
  • Schemer level
  • Schemer level of target
Discover plot 100 Target is plotting or backing a plot
You do not already know about the plot
Discover adultery 30* Only when spying on your spouse, concubine, or lover(?). Chance increases if target has more lovers. Chance decreases with tomcat/vixen modifiers on target or lovers, and with lovers who are skilled at scheming.
Opportunity to accuse of crime 10 Target is not an independent ruler
Once per target
3x chance if they are a member of a secret religious society or demon-worshipping society.
Opportunity to spread vicious rumors 30* Target does not already have Vicious Rumors.
  • 1/2 chance if schemer is temperate, just, kind, or honest.
  • 2x chance if target has at least one embarrassing trait: hedonist, drunkard, impaler, decadent, bastard, inbred, dwarf, homosexual, gluttonous, legit_bastard
  • 2x chance if target has at least one character modifier related to adultery
Opportunity to murder 4* Target does not have higher intrigue skill. Requires "Master Schemer" for full weight.
Opportunity to abduct 4* Target does not have higher intrigue skill. Requires "Master Schemer" for full weight.

Any outcome other than "no effect" gives you a level up chance, even if you choose not to take the opportunity presented.

Opportunity to accuse of crime

The first available charge is chosen:

Charge Conditions Allows actions
Charge: Secret Cultist Member of a secret religious society
You are not also a member 		Imprison
Charge: Witch Member of a devil-worshipping society
You are not also a member 		Imprison, revoke, execute
Charge: Illegitimate Real father is not known father.
Character does not have the Bastard.png or Legitimized bastard.png trait. 		Imprison, revoke
Charge: Heresiarch Any of the following:
  • Cynical.png
  • Target and liege conflict on Ashari.png vs Mutazilite.png
  • Target and liege have different religions within the same religious group (except Pagan or Indian)
 Imprison
Charge: Infidel Target and liege have different Pagan religions Imprison
Charge: Deviant Any of the following traits: Decadent.png, Hedonist.png, Homosexual.png, Possessed.png, Lunatic.png, Arbitrary.png, Cruel.png, Impaler.png, Master seducer.png, or Master seductress.png

Or any of the following character modifiers from affairs: incestuous_adulterer, incestuous_adulteress, adulterer, adulteress, known_sodomite, cradle_robber, adulterous_priest

Imprison
Charge: Traitor 10% chance Imprison, revoke
Charge: Slanderer 90% chance Imprison

All charges are valid imprisonment reasons, but only three are revoke reasons. If you hope to revoke a title, knowledge of who might be a demon worshipper or hidden cuckoo bastard can help you select good targets. Otherwise, you can target characters who don't meet the requirements for any of the specific charges, and hope you eventually roll the 10% for Traitor. (If you roll the 90% for Slanderer, you may keep it to yourself in order to not exhaust the "once per target" rule.)

You are informed of the charge and given up to 3 options:

  • Inform the liege (if liege is not incapable, inaccessible, a minor, or at war with you)
  • Expose and denounce (if you are the liege) -- gives you a valid imprisonment reason and in some cases a revoke reason
  • Blackmail to prevent factionalism (if you are the liege)
  • Blackmail to join my faction (if you are fellow vassals)
  • No action

If you inform the liege, the liege gets a similar set of options:

  • Expose and denounce
  • Blackmail to prevent factionalism
  • No action

Blackmail is more likely to succeed on characters who are Craven (5x), Proud (3x), Content (3x), Trusting (2x), or Patient (2x). It is more likely to be refused by characters who are Brave (3x), Wroth (3x), Ambitious (3x).

Opportunity to spread vicious rumors

You get a chance to slander the target, giving them the character modifier Vicious Rumors, which modifies general opinion by -10 for 5 years.

The target might find out that you were the one to slander them, modifying their opinion of you by -50 for 5 years. The chance is affected by relative intrigue skill and each character's scheming level.

Opportunity to murder

For 5 wealth you can bribe a guard to kill the target. It has a 50% chance of success, unless the target is paranoid, a master schemer, or has specific character modifiers from the Seduction focus (seduced_loyal_bodyguard or seduced_loyal_spy_maid).

There is also a 50% chance of discovery. The usual penalties for being caught murdering (or attempting to murder) someone apply.

Opportunity to abduct

For 5 wealth you can attempt to abduct (imprison) the target. It has a 50% chance of success, unless the target is paranoid, a master schemer, or has specific character modifiers from the Seduction focus (seduced_loyal_bodyguard or seduced_loyal_spy_maid).

從囚禁中釋放

可用的目標人物為:

  • 你的被逮捕的直系附庸(包括廷臣)；
  • 被綁架為妾的近親。

發現間諜總管的陰謀

如果你的間諜總管在策劃陰謀或者支持一個陰謀，you have a chance to become suspicious. The MTTH depends on your schemer level, your relative intrigue skill, and whether you have seduced_loyal_spy_maid.

你有2/3的幾率發現陰謀。如果你做到了，你有機會去囚禁他們。如果這個陰謀是謀殺你或近親，你會認為他們是叛徒並可剝奪頭銜。

如果你沒有發現這個陰謀，有1/2的幾率間諜總管會變得更加小心，防止這個事件鏈再次觸發。

（如果你具有 Paranoid.png誠實特性，你可能會懷疑你的間諜總管即便他們沒有在策劃陰謀，這會導致不同的結果。）

Success: level up event

在事件中取得成功之後，有機會導致：

  • Level up intrigue education
  • 獲得 Deceitful.png狡詐 (或者失去Honest.png誠實)
  • 升級至「業餘的陰謀家」，之後升級為「陰謀家」
  • 升級至 Master schemer.png密謀大師，或選擇 Impaler.png 拷打愛好者。

野心事件

如果你的密謀技能低於8，下面的事件將可觸發，each with a MTTH of 280 months.

  • The Necklace（一生一次）
  • Gossip （一生一次）
  • Old Spymaster （一生一次）
  • Alchemy
  • Improved Bodyguard
  • Old Assassin

如何提升密謀特質等級

提升等級的方式是發現陰謀和實施陰謀，技巧如下

  • 間接發現陰謀
    • 邀請你加入一個陰謀
    • 發動一場剝奪封臣頭銜的戰爭
    • 對領主顯示野心勃勃-25好感 (這意味着他正在密謀偽造對領主頭銜的宣稱)
    • 嘗試謀殺被指派揭露陰謀的間諜總管(event 20290)
    • 尋找In hiding.png 藏匿中的角色可能會揭開未知的謀殺
    • 擁有擁有以下特質的AI角色更容易進行密謀：Ambitious.png 野心勃勃(3x), Deceitful.png 狡詐(2x), Cruel.png 殘暴(2x), Arbitrary.png 專斷(1.5x), Envious.png 嫉妒(有目標宣稱權則2x),

Possessed.png 噩魔附身,Lunatic.png 精神錯亂

    • 被以下特質降低了榮譽的AI角色更容易支持謀殺：Deceitful.png 狡詐(-25), Arbitrary.png 專斷(-10), Paranoid.png 多疑(-10),Cruel.png 殘暴(-5), Greedy.png (-10), Wroth.png 貪婪(-5), Envious.png 嫉妒(-10), Impaler.png 拷打愛好者(-15), Cannibal.png 食人者(-10)
  • 實施陰謀
    • 對低密謀能力的角色更容易實施陰謀
    • 對一些擁有一些尷尬特質（包括享樂主義者，酒鬼，拷打愛好者，腐化，私生子，近親缺陷，侏儒，同性戀，暴食，合法私生子）的角色散播謠言更容易成功

密謀重心的一些用法

  • 逮捕你的領主，然後發動一場叛亂，戰爭分數會因為監禁中的敵方戰爭領導人而變為100分，不戰而勝。（存疑，逮捕了目標後無法向其宣戰)
    • 如果你的領主不是獨立君主，你可以在叛亂期間監禁他，因為你們都是同一個最上級領地的一部分。
  • 邀請富有的角色來宮廷，然後逮捕並驅逐來獲取他的財產。
  • 通過監視來獲取理由，逮捕麻煩的封臣，畢竟囚犯是無法參加派系的（但仍可被派系聲索宣稱）。
    • 如果你覬覦他的領地，則可以故意逮捕失敗來逼反他，打一場平叛戰爭，戰勝後他將被你囚禁，領地也因為叛徒身份而可隨意剝奪，除他自己外無人反對。注意：派系中的封臣在獨自叛亂時會召喚派系成員，所以如果想利用密謀重心來削藩記得先下手為強。
  • 逮捕無繼承人的封臣來繼承其領地、財產、科技點和寶物。
  • 通過基於指控的威脅和監禁，可以為你的派系獲得強大的成員（地牢中的囚犯可能要求改善條件，可以以此換取人情，來強迫他們加入你的派系）。

衝突特質

當獲得一個生活方式特質時，不要選擇 Impaler.png拷打愛好者。 它雖然提供密謀能力，卻不是密謀特質中的任何一級，還會阻止你獲得它。

關於「同行」

擁有相同重心的封臣們可能是有用的，因為他們可能相互監視並給你提供逮捕理由。但他們也很可能危險，比如傳播你的謠言（或者更糟…）。此外，如果AI角色擁有密謀類教育特質、多疑和狡詐三者之一，則其選擇該重心的可能性會增加。 避免成為監視對象的方法（英文鏈接）
