《骑马与砍杀2：霸主》开发日志（108）——战役后勤

Greetings warriors of Calradia!
卡拉迪亚的战士们，大家好！


In the words of Omar Bradley, “Amateurs talk strategy. Professionals talk logistics”. So buckle up for some serious professional talk, because in this week’s blog we'll be covering supply in Bannerlord -- both how to get the food and other materials that you need, and how to deny them to your enemy!

​二战时期美国著名的五星上将奥马尔·布拉德利说过“外行谈战略，内行谈后勤”。那就让我们说说严肃的专业话题，因为这期日志说的是霸主的补给功能——如何获取所需的食物和其它物资，以及如何切断敌人的补给！


The party inventory in Mount & Blade games serves as your logistics stock, and Bannerlord makes quite a few improvements on this front. Not only is your food consumption more detailed and realistic, but you need to carry and make use of other types of resources too.

《骑马与砍杀》的部队库存一直都是你的后勤库存，而在霸主中这方面有部分改进。不仅仅能让你的食物消耗更详细更真实，还能让你需要携带和利用其它资源。

As in real life, you’ll be more likely to have logistics problems as the size of your forces grows. Extremely small parties with a few people may not even require food, as you can live off the land with the right skills. Mid-size parties will definitely require food, however, they can purchase (or loot) their needs relatively easily from villagers or nearby farms. Larger armies going on protracted campaigns need to prepare and plan much more thoroughly. They’ll need large quantities of food, mules, livestock, extra horses, and various other items (for example, tools, which are used for crafting siege weapons).

现实生活中，你的人马越多，后勤补给的压力也会越大。人数非常少的小部队甚至都不需要食物，因为你可以自食其力在野外生存。而中等规模的部队肯定需要食物，但他们可以在村庄或者附近的农场轻松购买（或者劫掠）到他们所需要的。而持久战中的大规模部队就需要更深入的准备和计划。他们需要大量食物，骡子，牲口和额外的马匹，还有其它的物资（比如说工具，用来造攻城武器）

Even with all the preparation though, you may find yourself out of food after a daring campaign in enemy territory or during a long siege. This can be disastrous for a campaigning army. Your men will start to die or get too weak to fight (being marked as wounded in the game’s system), and even those that are in fighting condition will spawn in battle with reduced morale and hit points.

即便你做好了所有准备工作，在深入敌境或者持续围城时，你的食物也会短缺。这会对整个部队造成重大打击。你的人会开始饿死或者没力气作战（在游戏系统中会显示为受伤状态），甚至那些能够上战场的人也会士气大减，生命值降低。

Luckily, army commanders have options to avoid such a situation. Firstly, different parties in the same army pool their food together, with those that run out of food spending influence in exchange for supplies. This avoids cases where some parties in the army are starving while others are lugging sacks brimming over with grain.

幸运的是，军队的指挥官可以选择避免这种情况的发生。首先，不同部队组成的大军会让食物都汇集起来，那些粮草耗尽的领主可以花一些影响力来换取粮草。这避免了某些部队还在忍饥挨饿的时候，其他部队却在大鱼大肉。

While sharing may mitigate the problem for a while, you may need a better method to replenish your food reserves. Commanders can send out forager parties which will scour the countryside for food, confiscating any resources they come across. They can also send out raiders to attack villages directly, which will not only loot resources but also wreak havoc on the region and damage its economy. Once the enterprising parties re-join the main army, their spoils will be shared among parties in the army, and they will earn extra influence for a task well done.

虽然食物共享能够稍微缓解一下问题，但你依然需要一个更好的办法补充食物储备。指挥官可以派觅食部队去村庄搜集食物，征收他们能找到的所有资源。也可以派出劫掠者直接攻击村庄，这不仅仅会掠夺资源，还会对该地区造成严重破环并扰乱经济。一旦先遣部队重新加入大部队，他们的战利品会在军队中被共享，而在完成任务时也会获得额外的影响力。

On the other hand, if you find yourself defending against a superior force who is happily sustaining itself from your fields, you have the option to implement scorched earth tactics, destroying your own fields and denying the enemy the chance to help himself to your grain at the cost of losing the income and food for yourself. Don’t expect any gratitude from villagers, however, who expect their taxes to pay for the defence of their fields rather than their destruction!

而另一方面，如果你在防御时发现敌方大规模部队想通过掠夺你的封地进行轻松补给，你可以施行焦土战略，摧毁你自己的农地，不让敌人获取你资源，但这需要你以失去收入和食物作为代价。此外，不要期望这样做后村民们还会给你好脸色看，因为他们给你钱和粮食是让你保护他们的土地而不是被你摧毁！



In next week’s blog, we will be talking with QA Tester, Onurcan Dönmez. If you have any questions you would like to ask him, please leave a reply in the comments and we will pick one out for him to answer! ​

下周的日志里，我们会和测试小组的成员，Onurcan Dönmez进行问答环节。如果你有什么想要问的，就留下你的问题让我们来问他吧！
