While certain things are still on a per-Barony level, such as buildings, two of the most important values you have to deal with are on a per-County basis – Development and Control!
Development is the measurement of technological advancement and general infrastructure in a County. Development directly increases taxes and levies you get out of the holdings, and it also unlocks some other special options. Development increases very slowly across the duration of the game, and radiates outwards from high-development Counties to those nearby. For example, Constantinople (aka the City of the World’s Desire), starts with a very high Development level. This will slowly spread outwards, reaching the most remote areas much slower than their Greek heartland. Naturally, there are other ways to increase your development, such as through the Steward’s ‘Increase Development’ task, although this is a fairly slow process, and usually only worth doing in certain Counties. Having terrain such as Farmland or Floodplains in your Counties make them ideal candidates for development, and when they have gotten some levels of development you can just sit back and enjoy, as it slowly spreads throughout the rest of your realm!
虽然游戏中仍有很多东西是按照男爵领来划分的,比如建筑;但现在,你有两个最重要的事情,是必须在郡的基础上进行的:发展和控制!
发展是指一个郡的科学技术与基础设施的综合水平。发展可以直接增加你的税收,同时也解锁了其他一些特殊的选项。在整个游戏的过程中,郡的发展速度非常缓慢,雨丝同时,低发展水平的郡会受到附近高发展郡的辐射影响。例如,君士坦丁堡(又名欲望之城),一开始就有很高的发展水平。这将使它的影响慢慢向外扩散,与此同时,这种影响到达最偏远地区的速度要比到达希腊腹地慢得多得多。当然,还有其他方法可以增加发展水平,比如通过财政官的“提高发展度”的任务,尽管这是一个相当缓慢的过程,并且有时只值得在某些郡进行。如果你治下的郡,拥有像沃土或洪泛区这样的地形,那么它们会成为你理想的开发对象,当它们达到一定程度的发展水平时,你便可以坐享其成,因为它的发展水平,会慢慢地辐射到你治下的疆域!
