四维八德,英文叫"Four Cardinal Principles and Eight Virtues",
其中Virtues就是CK3信仰中会影响角色虔诚的特质,
Virtues在天主教对应七美德(当然游戏设计没把七个都放进去),
那四维八德就是汉人信仰-目前对应于道教的美德特质了.
首先看四维:礼,义,廉......还有耻
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Cardinal_Principles_and_Eight_Virtues
照英文定义是:
礼: the rites, ritual; originally referring to the major Confucian duties,
such as ancestor worship and issues of appropriate behaviour
between generations.
对儒教仪式的信守,勉强对应到Zealous?
义: righteousness; refers to both correct conduct, and the rejection of
improper behaviour and dishonour.
比较好理解,就是Just.
廉: integrity; refers to always being 'upright' in one's behaviour.
诚信,就是Honest.
耻: shame; refers to the appropriate response one should feel towards
inappropriate behaviour; it is considered one of the means by which
individuals judge right from wrong.
明辨是非,以游戏机制来说就是做坏事时会让压力暴增的特质,
纯就政治方面的恶行,除了Just外,最会让压力暴增的特质是Compassionate.
接着看八德:忠孝,仁爱,信义,和平,定义上可以参考VIC3某位鼓动者的演讲:
"What are China's time-honored virtues?
Loyalty and filial piety come first."
这段提到忠与孝,忠很明显是Loyal,孝可视为只对直系长辈生效的Loyal.
"Then we have love,"
仁爱应该就是Compassionate了.
"faithfulness,"
信义差不多是Honest.
"and love of peace."
和平的定义要从封臣立场中的主和派来推测,
主和派喜欢的特质是Content,具此特质的君主也不太愿意宣战.
结论
粗略对应CK3的特质与四维八德,为:
Zealous:礼
Just:义
Honest:廉,信义
Compassionate:耻,仁爱
Loyal:忠孝
Content:和平
反过来说:
Cynical:无礼(古代含意,无关礼貌)
Arbitrary:不义
Deceitful:诈伪
Callous:无耻(Compassionate的反面,恶行最不影响压力)
Disloyal:奸佞
Ambitious:黩武
很不幸的是,只有当个无耻不伦的君主才能在中世纪生存,
世世代代信守四维八德的家族,不知有几个能撑到1453年?
