Hello everyone! This is my first time writing a dev diary and I want to share with you almost everything I worked on for Wards and Wardens. Let’s set the stage first: you are a ruler and your seed is stronger than ever, flourishing with your many offspring. Children play and run around all over your court, but you have more pressing matters to attend to! Perhaps the mother of your children has become incapable, unable to provide milk for your infants. Who are you gonna call? Wet nurses, of course!

大家好??！這是我第一次寫開(kāi)發(fā)日志，我希望能給你們分享所有我在監(jiān)護(hù)與被監(jiān)護(hù)人中參與的工作。讓我們來(lái)假設(shè)這么一個(gè)情況：你是一個(gè)統(tǒng)治者，你的孩子變得越來(lái)越強(qiáng)壯，和你的其他后代一起茁壯成長(zhǎng)。孩子們?cè)谀愕膶m廷中嬉戲打鬧，但在美好的景色下你有其他的深刻的擔(dān)憂。其中一個(gè)可能是孩子的母親逐漸變得衰老，不在能夠?yàn)閶雰翰溉?。你能?qǐng)誰(shuí)來(lái)幫忙呢？當(dāng)然是奶媽啦。

Wet Nurse

Historically, a Wet Nurse was a woman of the court charged with the care of infants in need of breastfeeding, for whatever reason there might be. However, the position evolved over time and, in some circles, the wet nurse became an integral part of the family. She might care for older children and become an influential advisor, or even a second mother. Strong bonds were created not only between wet nurse and child, but also between children that were nurtured by the same nurse. Such children were called suckling siblings and were treated on the same level as blood siblings.

歷史上，奶媽通常是宮廷里面負(fù)責(zé)照顧還需要喝母乳的嬰兒的女人，不論出于什么原因他們還沒(méi)斷奶。但是，奶媽這個(gè)職業(yè)隨著時(shí)間，或者說(shuō)隨著某種循環(huán)，是在不斷進(jìn)步的，在當(dāng)時(shí)她變成了一個(gè)家庭不可或缺的一部分。她同時(shí)也可能照顧更加年長(zhǎng)的孩子，或者成為家庭中有影響力的提議者，或者甚至能成為干媽這樣的角色。這種強(qiáng)大的紐帶不僅存在于奶媽和她照顧的孩子，在這一群孩子之間也同樣有著強(qiáng)烈的羈絆。這種孩子們之間會(huì)擁有哺育紐帶，這與兄弟姐妹之間的血緣紐帶是一樣的。

?

In the game, the Wet Nurse is represented as a Court Position. A child ruler, a ruler with children or one holding children hostage can hire a suitable woman as a Wet Nurse. In return, she provides illness resistance to children of the court and will inform her employer about significant milestones in childhood development, like a wee one’s first spoken words or first fallen teeth.

在游戲中，奶媽是一個(gè)宮廷職位。一個(gè)兒童統(tǒng)治者，擁有孩子的統(tǒng)治者或者擁有兒童人質(zhì)的統(tǒng)治者都可以選擇一個(gè)合適的女人來(lái)當(dāng)奶媽。作為回報(bào)，奶媽可以提供給兒童疾病抗性，以及可以給她照顧的兒童出發(fā)童年發(fā)展里程碑事件，像是小嬰兒的第一句話，或者第一顆掉的牙。

?

Who can become a Wet Nurse, you may ask? Any able woman that has no particular noble roots. In history, these were commoners from the court: widowed mothers or just those in need of another source of income.

你可能會(huì)問(wèn)誰(shuí)能當(dāng)奶媽呢？任何不屬于貴族家族的女性都能擔(dān)任。在歷史上，這是幾種常見(jiàn)的在宮廷中擔(dān)任奶媽的人選：?jiǎn)逝嫉墓褘D母親，或者是一些需要額外收入的人群。

Rites of Passage

As part of our focus on children in this Event Pack, we pay some attention to the moment they become adults. Changing your societal status in such a way is a big deal even today, as seen in school graduations, specific birthdays and religious thresholds. Usually, this transition is signified by a ceremony or a ritual. I decided to look into tribal rites of passage and ended up with a decision, an amalgamation of different rituals from all over the world, with the most common or interesting rituals selected to represent the practice.

作為聚焦童年事件包其中的一部分，我們非常關(guān)注兒童成長(zhǎng)為成人的那一個(gè)時(shí)刻。這個(gè)社會(huì)身份的轉(zhuǎn)變時(shí)刻在如今依然是一件非常重大的事件，像是學(xué)校的畢業(yè)典禮，特殊的成人禮生日或者是一些宗教儀式。這一項(xiàng)傳統(tǒng)通常是由一場(chǎng)典禮或者儀式所表達(dá)。我們決定從部落儀式這方面入手，將它做成一個(gè)決議，這將會(huì)由世界范圍內(nèi)不同的儀式所構(gòu)成，而這些儀式都是挑選出來(lái)非常常見(jiàn)或者有趣的。

1.???? 決斗：使用現(xiàn)在的決斗系統(tǒng)，選擇這一項(xiàng)的孩子需要挑戰(zhàn)一個(gè)同文化的成年人。

2.???? 獻(xiàn)祭：一次面部的破壞，可能會(huì)導(dǎo)致疤痕特性。

3.???? 隱居：使用旅行的系統(tǒng)，選擇這個(gè)的孩子會(huì)去獨(dú)自去野外冒險(xiǎn)，回來(lái)后會(huì)變得更加睿智和有遠(yuǎn)見(jiàn)。

4.???? 削發(fā)：類似伊斯蘭教里的halq，孩子會(huì)剪掉他們小時(shí)候留的頭發(fā)以示成長(zhǎng)。

5.???? 洗禮：一次洗禮儀式，用火或者是水。

This decision is available for any landed tribal teenager or any landed tribal parent/warden of a teenager. So it is possible to welcome your feudal hostages into your tribe and make them go through the rites. Three of the rite types will be available, the selection determined by the ruler’s cultural ethos. Each has a different effect on a child's personality, their skills, and more.

任何一個(gè)擁有領(lǐng)地的部落青年領(lǐng)主或者成年領(lǐng)主，但是成年人需要是一個(gè)青年的監(jiān)護(hù)人或父母，都可以開(kāi)啟這個(gè)決議。你也已邀請(qǐng)封建制度的領(lǐng)主來(lái)到你的部落參觀整場(chǎng)儀式。有三種儀式類別可以選擇，不過(guò)這個(gè)選擇會(huì)基于領(lǐng)主的文化傳統(tǒng)。每個(gè)選擇也都會(huì)對(duì)孩子的性格，技能或者其他方面產(chǎn)生不同的影響。

A Guardian’s Influence on their Ward’s Personality

Have you ever felt that being a guardian offers little impact on the personality traits of your ward? Well, not anymore! The guardian now has access to an interaction which allows them to choose one of their own personality traits and try to push it onto the ward. The interaction is available for the player as well as an AI guardian, so choose them wisely! Otherwise, your sadistic, shy or paranoid guardian might just pass on their vile traits to your precious genius heir. This interaction is even available for wardens, letting them influence their child-age hostages.

在以前的版本中，你應(yīng)該感覺(jué)到了雖然是一個(gè)孩子的監(jiān)護(hù)人，但是也只能對(duì)他們的成長(zhǎng)起到有限的影響。不過(guò)這一切將會(huì)變成過(guò)去式！現(xiàn)在的監(jiān)護(hù)人可以進(jìn)行一個(gè)交互，使得他們可以選擇他們的一個(gè)特質(zhì)來(lái)推行給他們的被監(jiān)護(hù)兒童。這個(gè)交互對(duì)玩家自身和AI都有效，所以謹(jǐn)慎選擇你孩子的監(jiān)護(hù)人。不然的話你寶貴的天才繼承人將會(huì)被他們監(jiān)護(hù)人的惡毒特性所污染，像是施虐狂，害羞或者多疑。這個(gè)互動(dòng)甚至對(duì)有囚犯貴族可用，讓他們影響他們的兒童囚犯。

[Example of a successful Influence Ward’s Personality interaction for the shy trait]

[Example of a failed Influence Ward’s Personality interaction for the callous trait]

[一個(gè)失敗的影響例子]

The outcome is decided by the child, so the bulk of it is left to whatever RNG gods you believe in. However, the more alike the ward is to the guardian, the more likely the brainwashing is to succeed.

這個(gè)結(jié)果是被孩子所決定的，所以這個(gè)成功與否大多取決于你信仰的隨機(jī)數(shù)之神。不過(guò)如果被監(jiān)護(hù)的兒童越喜歡它的監(jiān)護(hù)人，這個(gè)洗腦就更可能成功。
