密谋(Intrigue) 是中世纪和王国风云系列中通往胜利的两种途径中的一个。它更加间接,集中于通过诡计打败其他角色。
计谋
任何角色都可以成为计谋(Scheme)的目标。每名角色都可以同时计划一个阴谋(敌对)和一个私人计谋(友好),但是同一个角色不能同时成为一个敌对阴谋和一个私人计谋的目标。进行中的阴谋可以在任何时间取消。
每个计谋都有一个计谋力量,而目标都有一个计谋阻力。这两者都由双方的谋略能力与间谍主管的谋略谋能力决定。
每个月进行中的计谋都会有概率获得进展,这个概率由计谋发起者的计谋力量和目标的计谋阻力决定。一但计谋获得100%的进度就会执行,以执行时的成功概率决定该计谋是成功还是失败。
阴谋(敌对)
敌对阴谋是隐秘的,该阴谋的隐秘值将决定执行过程中是否会被目标发现。高成功率可以提高阴谋的隐秘值。
想要同时进行两个敌对阴谋需要学习阴谋生活重心中的计中计技能。
计谋 | 需要技能 | 同谋 | 成功效果 | 秘密效果 | 需要技能 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
谋杀 | Intrigue | 目标被杀死 | Character only gains the Murder secret | 无 | |
绑架 | Intrigue | 目标成为囚犯 | Character is not accused of the Crime of kidnapping | 绑票大师 | |
制造牵制 | Intrigue | 获得目标的牵制 | Can execute the Scheme again | 相对事实 | |
宣称权位 | Stewardship | 获得目标主头衔的宣称 | Do not lose a large amount of Prestige | 能者居之 |
Hostile Schemes can have Agents - characters who are close to the target and increase the Scheme Power based on how close they are. Agents may join a scheme if they stand to gain something or dislike the target. They can also be bribed with Gold to slightly increase their acceptance and a Weak Hook will greatly increase it. Characters who are Terrified of the Scheme target will never become Agents except through the use of a Strong Hook. Agents will grant the following amount of Success Chance depending on their closeness to the target and their Intrigue.
Closeness | Success Chance |
---|---|
Spymaster | +75 |
Spouse | +50 |
Guardian | +50 |
Best Friend | +50 |
Friend | +30 |
Lover | +30 |
Concubine | +30 |
Closeness | Success Chance |

Court Physician | +30 |
Councilor | +25 |
Close Family | +20 |
Powerful Vassal | +15 |
Extended Family | +15 |
Nemesis | +15 |
Any other | +10 |
A scheming character is protected from discovery while the Scheme progresses but its Agents are not. If an Agent is discovered the target will gain a +5 Hostile Scheme Resistance modifier for 2 years.
私人计谋
私人计谋没有隐秘值且没有同谋。如果失败,在短时间内无法对同一目标再次进行相同的计谋。

牵制
A Hook represents that a character owes you a favor or that you can coerce them in some way. Hooks can be gained in a variety of ways and can be used to force a character to do something you want. They come in two varieties: weak and strong.
- A Weak Hook can only be used once, and is then spent.
- A Strong Hook can be used multiple times, with a cooldown between uses. It also prevents the character from taking hostile actions (such as joining a faction) against the one holding the Hook. Unlike weak hooks, strong hooks can be used to force a character to become an Agent in a murder scheme.

- A vassals who has a Hook on his Liege can use the Demand Council Position character interaction.
- A vassals with a Hook on his Liege can declare war on other vassals of their liege, even if ther crown authority would normally prohibited this.
- Though it is very difficult to get a hook on your Head of faith, doing so would ensure the head of faith agrees to any one request you might make (such as granting you a divorce or a claim on a title).

- The Level 1 Steward Lifestyle Perk "Golden Obligations" allows demanding payment for hooks, assuming the person you have a hook on has the money to pay it.
