Welcome to another Tinto Talks, the final of four on the economy system for our secret game with the code name “Project Caesar”.
今天我们将谈论所有与贸易有关的事情,包括市场、商人和贸易。本次会谈主要介绍气泡提示框的截图,有许多需要消化的概念,因此我建议大家反复的仔细阅读。
Today we will talk about all the things related to trade, including markets, merchants and trades. This talk is heavy on tooltip screenshots, and a lot of concepts to digest, so I recommend checking it through multiple times.
市场
Markets
让我们从市场本身开始。市场是动态的,并且会在游戏过程中发生变化,因为各国可以根据需要创建新市场甚至解散旧市场。
Let's start with the markets themselves. These are dynamic and will change through the playthrough, as countries can create new markets and disband their old if they so desire.
每个市场都有一个市场中心位于某个地点,该地点的所有者控制该市场。
Each market has a center in a location, and the owner of that location is in control over that market.
每个地点和沿海海域都会属于最合适的市场,这取决于该市场的市场吸引力、该地点与市场中心的距离、外交因素等。
Every location and coastal seazone will belong to the most fitting market, which depends on the market attraction of the market, the distance between the location and the market center, diplomatic factors, and more.
里加市场一开始就控制着波罗的海地区的大部分地区。
The Riga market has control over much of the Baltic region in the start..
市场有商人,他们的力量取决于市场中的建筑物和海上存在,而商业容量则取决于该国在那个市场拥有的贸易基础设施。商业力量决定了哪个订单会被优先执行,因为市场上的商品供应不是无穷无尽的。商业容量影响商户可以运送的货物数量。
A market has merchants, who have a power depending on buildings and maritime presence in the market, and a merchant capacity which depends on the infrastructure for trade that country has in that market. The Merchant Power impacts in which order exports from a market are executed, as there is not an endless supply of goods in a market. The Merchant Capacity impacts how much goods the merchants can ship.
这就是汉萨同盟在里加的商业容量的来源。
This is the source of the Hanseatic League’s merchant capacity in Riga.
正如您在市场截图中看到的那样,每种商品都有当地价格,以及供给和值,让我们看看下一个工具提示中的啤酒价格。
As you can see in the market screenshot, every good has a local price, and a supply vs demand value as well, let's take a look at the beer price in the next tooltip.
便宜的啤酒,一定是天堂……
Cheap beer, must be paradise…
价格每个月都会朝着目标价格变化,目标价格取决于市场上商品的供需情况以及当前时代的价格稳定值。价格稳定性会随着时代发生变化。
Prices change every month towards the Target Price, which depends on the supply and demand of the goods in the market, and the current price stability. Price stability can change through the ages as well.
供给与需求
Supply & Demand
市场上每种商品的供给取决于几个因素。
The supply of each good in a market depends on several factors.
- RGO(资源生产作业)的输出
- 建筑物的输出
- 基础生产
- 市民贸易
- The output from RGO’s
- The output from buildings
- Base Production
- Burgher Trades
那么什么是「基础生产」?有些商品,如粘土、木材、沙子和石头,在每个市场都会生产,不需要特定的 RGO,不过对应原材料的 RGO 可以生产更多,也可以建造建筑来提供这些产品。
So what is ‘Base Production’? Some goods like clay, lumber, sand and stone are produced in every market, without the need for specific RGO’s, even if an RGO with that raw material can produce much more, and there are buildings that can be built to provide these as well.
此外,如果你的市民有商业容量的话,他们也会自己进行贸易。他们将尝试满足市场内的需求,并且可以在稍短的范围内进行交易,从而丰富他们的财产。有一些法律和特权会影响他们,比如汉萨同盟在之前的截图中市民授予的「贸易垄断」阶级特权,这会减少同盟本身的商人容量 25%,从而将市民的容量增加 100%。
Also, your burghers will trade on their own, if they have the capacity for it. They will attempt to address needs within the market, and can trade in a slightly shorter range, thus enriching their estate. There are laws and privileges that impact them, like the “Trade Monopolies” estate privilege that the Hanseatic League has granted in the earlier screenshot, which reduces their own merchant capacity by 25% to increase the capacity of the burghers by 100%
那么需求呢?需求主要来自建筑的维护、投入和建设,招募和维持陆军和海军,以及人口的需求,但还有更多其他来源。
So what about demand? This is primarily from the maintenance, input, and construction of buildings, recruiting and maintaining armies and navies, and the demands of the population, but there are more sources as well.
当然,贸易本身也会影响供给和需求。
Of course, trades themselves impact supply and demand as well.
贸易
Trade
您可以使用市场中的商业容量从该市场出口商品,或从另一个市场进口商品。当然,该市场需要在您的贸易范围之内,而在 1337 年,贸易范围还远没有达到全球范围。
You can use your merchant capacity in a market to either export a good from that market, or import a good from another market. Of course that market needs to be within your trade range, which is not world-spanning in 1337.
贸易是指将数量不定的货物从一个市场运送到另一个市场,并在出口市场以当地价格交易。市场之间的距离越长,每种商品所需的运力就越大,维护成本也就越高。
A trade is a variable amount of goods shipped from one market to another market, purchasing it for the local price in the exporting market. The longer the distance between the markets, the more capacity each good will require to ship, and higher the maintenance costs will be.
贸易会对它们离开市场前最后所处的陆地地点以及它们进入进口市场的第一个陆地地点产生影响,从而随着时间的推移促进它们的发展。贸易总是必须在地图上追踪路径。
Trades have an impact on the last land location they are in before leaving the market, and the first one they enter in the importing market, giving boosts in development to them over time. A trade always has to trace a path on the map.
我们的商业力量使我们能够在里加获得我们想要的商品数量。
Our merchant power makes us get the amount of goods we want in Riga.
如果您经过厄勒海峡或博斯普鲁斯海峡,还需要考虑海峡通行费。
There are also the Sound Tolls, if you pass through Öresund or the Bosphorus to consider.
外交和贸易
Diplomacy and Trade
有许多外交因素会影响凯撒计划中的贸易和市场机制。
There are many diplomatic factors that impact the trade and market mechanics of Project Caesar.
首先,你可以对某个拥有市场的国家「拒绝市场准入」,这会降低他们的市场对你所在地区的吸引力,但也会让那些在这些市场拥有商人的国家对你感到不满。
First of all, you can “Deny Market Access” to a nation owning a market, which will reduce the attraction of their markets on your locations, but also make anyone with merchants in those markets upset with you.
您还可以请求和(或)提供市场准入优惠,使某个国家的地点更有可能属于某个市场。
You can also request and/or offer market access preference making it likelier for a country’s locations to belong in a certain market.
如果您不喜欢支付海峡通行费,您可以随时尝试通过与控制该海峡的国家进行外交来请求豁免。
If you dislike paying Sound Tolls, you can always try to ask for exemption for it through diplomacy with the country controlling the strait.
一些国家已完全孤立自己,因此您需要协商贸易特许,以允许您从其市场出口或进口。
Some countries have isolated themselves completely, so you need to negotiate a specific exception to allow you to export or import from their markets.
还可以对某个国家实施禁运,这将阻止该国家的商人在您的市场上进行贸易,并且不允许他们通过您的国家。当然,这会给对方一个合法的宣战理由,所以要小心使用。
There is also the possibility to embargo a country, which would block the merchants from that country to trade in your markets, and also to not be allowed to move through your country. Of course, this a legit casus belli, so use with care.
贸易的其他方面
Other aspects to Trade
每个市场都可能禁止出口或进口特定商品,一个常见的例子是穆斯林市场将禁止葡萄酒、啤酒和烈酒的进出口。
Each market can have specific goods banned for export or import, with one common example being that muslim markets will ban import and export of wine, beer and liquor.
我们在之前的 Tinto 会谈中提到,市场将有库存,以备不时之需。有些建筑会增加可存储的数量。
We mentioned in an earlier Tinto Talks that Markets will have stockpiles, so that surplus can be stored for a rainy day. There are buildings that will increase the amount that can be stored.
市场上也有食品,价格也根据食品的供求情况而变化。
There is also food in the markets, with prices adapting to the supply and demand of food as well.
西约塔兰是瑞典的粮仓!
Västra Götaland är Sveriges Kornbod!
还有自动化选项,您可以将交易完全分配给AI。您还可以锁定一些交易,这样AI就不会干扰它们。
There are also automation options where you can assign trading completely to the AI. You can also lock some trades so that the AI will not interfere with them.
请继续关注,下周我们将讨论雇佣兵、征召兵和常备军!
Stay tuned, next week we’ll be talking about mercenaries, levies and regulars!
