July 5, 2007 - It's already clear to us that Beyond the Sword is the largest expansion pack the Civilization series has seen. After covering most of the changes to the core game, we thought we'd offer a look at the scenarios and mods that will also be included with the expansion. These include materials developed by Firaxis as well as content submitted by fans.
Rather than going over all eleven scenarios and mods at once, today we're just focusing on the ancient and historical additions. We'll be back in the coming weeks to take a closer look at the remaining scenarios, which feature either a futuristic or fantasy setting.
现在，我们大家已经很清楚BTS是文明史上最大的一个资料片了。在介绍了核心游戏的大部分变化之后，我们认为我们有必要看一看那些同样被包含在BTS中的剧情和MOD了，这些剧情有的来自于Firaxis公司，有的则是玩家的作品。
今天我们主要介绍一下有关历史和古代的几个剧情，下一周我们将介绍剩下的那几个未来和奇幻剧情。
Charlemagne
There's been quite a hubbub over the inclusion of Charlemagne as leader of the Holy Roman Empire in the standard game, but this scenario makes things a little more understandable. The Frankish Empire has broken up and it's up to the player (and four other leaders) to reunite the scattered pieces of the empire and claim the throne. Of course, there are a number of other civs complicating the matter.
The Charlemagne campaign begins with players choosing their leader, from historical stars like Charlemagne and Eleanor of Aquitaine to the lesser-known leaders of Lombardy, Burgundy and Neustria. Using the advanced start rules, players will buy a rather substantial starting position.
Set in the medieval period, the units in Charlemagne's campaign are merely more detailed and varied versions of the core game's medieval unit list. The one notable exception is the new Supply Train unit. Your units won't be able to heal in enemy territory without the presence of a friendly supply train unit, so you'll definitely not want to neglect these, particularly since there are no healing promotions in this scenario. The trains are, of course, totally defenseless, so they'll be tempting targets for your enemies. You can win the Charlemagne campaign through conquest, but you can also win by courting the favor of the Papacy. Each of the Christian civilizations in the game has the chance to gain favor with the Pope by building Christian buildings, donating units and relics to the Papacy and going to war with the enemies of the faith. While you get some happiness and income bonuses from being in the Pope's good graces, the real plum here is that the Pope can confer victory on you by declaring you Holy Roman Emperor.
查理曼大帝的征服
将查理曼作为核心游戏的领导人的做法，引起了玩家们的骚动，但是这个剧情让这件事变得稍微容易理解一些。法兰克王国已经分裂，并且将通过玩家（以及其他4个领袖）的努力来重新同意这个分裂的国家并且登上王座。当然，游戏中还存在着许多其它的文明以使游戏更加复杂。
查理曼剧情开始与玩家选择他们所扮演的领导人——从历史明星查理曼和Aquitaine的埃莉诺到较少人知道的伦巴第、勃艮第和Neustria（确实是没几个人知道........）的领导人。使用高级开局模式，玩家将会买到充裕的开始状况。
设计在中世纪，查理曼剧情中的单位只与标准游戏的中世界兵种有少数区别，稍微细致和多样化一些。唯一值得注意的例外是补给车的出现，没有补给车的话，你的单位将无法在非友好的地域内得到回复，所以你一定不会忘记这个单位的存在，尤其是在这个剧情中将没有任何医疗升级的情况下。这些补给车，理所当然是没有任何防御力的，所以他们会成为你敌人的最爱。
你可以通过征服来获得剧情的胜利，但你也同样可以通过建设基督教堂、捐献部队和遗迹、向异教徒开战等，来获得教皇的的喜爱以获得胜利。尽管你可以通过教皇的喜爱来获得额外的高兴度和收入，但讨好教皇最重要的是通过教皇将你加冕为神圣罗马帝国的皇帝来获得胜利。
Crossroads of the World
The Middle East truly is the crossroads of three continents and it's a land that's as rich in commerce as it is in history. The Crossroads scenario allows players to pick one of five major civs and then drops them down in the Middle East with a number of lesser rival powers. Players may opt to play with core civs like Ethiopia or the Ottoman Empire, or take on the role of the more exotic Rasulids or Timurids. No matter who you choose, the name of the game is money. The first of the five major powers to amass 30,000 gold wins the game. You can get gold in all the regular ways -- taxes, conquest, trade, negotiation -- but there are two new avenues of income that are definitely worth exploring. The first is the new Raider unit. Coming in four different upgradeable versions, the Raider is basically like a land version of the privateer. It has no national markings and can attack freely without regard for diplomacy. It provides a nice gold bonus for pillage attacks but it can't actually conquer cities for you. For that, you'll need to rely on more traditional units. The second route to improve your finances is a guild-based recast of the core game's corporation system. There are five main guilds and a handful of minor ones here that, instead of granting additional resources, merely generate a steady flow of income. You'll use guildmasters instead of corporate executives to spread your guilds throughout the world. The maintenance costs for the guild headquarters is so high, however, that it's almost worth it to try to get them established in towns belonging to your enemy.
世界的交汇处
中东确实是3块大陆的交汇处和一个在历史上及其富裕的地方。世界的交汇剧情允许玩家从5个主要的文明中选择一个，并打败其他几个和一些小国家。玩家可能更倾向于选择一个核心游戏中存在的国家，例如埃塞俄比亚或者土耳其，也可以选择更加少见的拉苏勒王朝和帖木儿帝国。
不管你选择的是那个国家，这个剧情的核心就是金币。最早收集到30000金的势力将获得胜利。你可以通过所有标准的途径来获得金钱：税收、征服、贸易、谈判。但还有两种收入是值得你开发的。
其一是一种新的掠夺单位。来自于四种不同的换装版本，掠夺者就像陆地板的海盗船。他们没有国籍，可以任意攻击而不用担心外交关系。他们可以带来更好的掠夺结果——但是他们不能帮助你占领城市。若要占领城市，你需要那些传统部队。
其二是一个根据核心游戏中的公司改造的贸易工会系统。剧情中有5种大的工会，以及一些不会带给你资源但会给你带来稳定收入的小工会。你需要运用工会大师而非公司执行官来散播你的工会。公司的维护费非常之贵，然而将他们建在你对手的城市之内总是值得的。
Defense
Easily the most "game" oriented of the scenarios we're featuring today, Defense is nevertheless an intriguing proposition for hardcore Civ players. Beginning with a small amount of cash for an advanced start buy, the player will have just enough to get a single city going before the game starts.
At that point, you'll be confronted with a wave of enemies who are hell bent on capturing your cities. If you can weather each wave of attacks, you'll be rewarded with additional gold for each city that survives. You'll then be sent to the Buy phase to buy new units, new cities and new technology before the next wave of attackers. It continues like this, getting more and more difficult over the course of twenty waves. If you can survive them all, you'll be declared the winner.
There are a number of additional complications however. First, units that are stacked together will be weakened proportional to the number of units in the stack. This keeps players from simply building a massive stack and sitting it out behind the walls of their town. Since most of the units you buy are suited to combat in a particular type of tile, you'll need to array your forces wisely if you want to win. You'll want to head out anyway because each new round includes a number of random goody huts that you can capture for a substantial cash bonus. Once the attacks start to intensify, you're going to need every dollar you can get just to keep the enemy from overrunning your defenses.
文明的防御
很容易可以看出，这个剧情是今天我们介绍的中最为“游戏”化的。尽管如此，文明的防御这个剧情仍然对文明死忠玩家来说是一个十分有趣的选择。开始的时候你只有一点金钱——只够你购买一座城市。
在那之后，你会遇到一波波的敌人试图占领你的城市。如果你能撑过每波攻击，你会获得一些额外的金币，然后你在“购买”界面中购买新的单位、城市和科技，知道你面对下一波敌人。接下来也是如此，你将面对一波比一波更加猛烈的攻击，知道你撑过20波攻击之后模拟将获得游戏的胜利。
但是这个游戏不止是这样简单。首先叠堆的单位将会变弱，变弱的程度与叠堆的数量成比例。这一点防止了玩家仅仅建造一大堆部队，然后等在城墙之后去获得胜利。考虑到你购买的大多数部队都是只能克制某种兵种的，你需要将合适的部队放在合适的地方以获取胜利。
你会很乐意继续，因为每一回攻击都包含了一些好猎物，你可以从中获得大量金钱。当攻击开始变得猛烈的时候，你会珍惜每一块钱以将敌人挡在大门外。
Gods of Old
Though a better title might be "Give Me That Old Time Religion" the Gods of Old scenario focuses on the religious struggles of the Ancient World. And when we say "Ancient" we mean Ancient. The pre-Classical civilizations and religions found here show just how competitive things could get when it comes to matters of the spirit. Religions in Gods of Old are founded through the normal method of discovering new technologies but players also have to worry themselves with building a single shrine to that particular religion. Once all the shrines are built, the winner is the player who manages to eliminate all shrines but his or her own. While that by itself should make for some interesting gameplay, there are a few other tricks waiting in the wings. First, by discovering Theology, a player can create the new Inquisitor units. Just as the Missionaries are designed to spread religion, the Inquisitors are designed to stomp it out. You can sacrifice your Inquisitors (of which you can only have three at a time) to eliminate any non-state religion in any of your cities. Gods of Old also finds a new use for the Great Prophets. Rather than simply spreading your faith, you can sacrifice the prophets to call down terrible disasters on enemy cities. All but two of the religions have a particular catastrophe associated with it. Enlil for instance, sends plagues, while Nanna strikes with a rain of meteors. Of the two who don't provide disasters, prophets of An will be sacrificed automatically to prevent any one disaster from hitting your towns. A seventh prophet doesn't seem to have any specific ability at all but is still useful for all the regular functions of a Great Prophet.
古老众神
尽管剧情的标题改为做“给我古代的宗教”更加合适，古老众神剧情着眼于古代世界的宗教挣扎上。并且我们说的古代意思就是古代，这些古典时代之前的文明和宗教显示了当涉及到精神的时候事情会变得多么有竞争性。
古老众神中的宗教像通常的游戏一样是由科技来建立的，但是玩家将会关心的是如何只建立一个圣地。如果所有的圣地都被建立，那么获胜的就是那个消灭了除他所有的之外的其他圣地的玩家。
虽然就这样进行游戏就已经可以获得乐趣了，但是还有一些乐趣在等着你。首先，通过获得神学，玩家将可以建造一个新的审判者单位，就像传教士是扩散宗教那样，审判者被设计用来消除宗教，你可以通过牺牲审判者来使一个非国教的宗教从你城市中消失。
古老众神同样给了大先知以新的作用，不止是简单的传播你的信仰，你还可以通过牺牲大先知来给敌人的城市带来巨大的自然灾害。除了2个之外，其他的宗教都有一个特殊的灾难。例如Enlil，可以散布瘟疫，而Nanna可以带来流星雨。对于那2个没有特殊灾难的宗教来说，An的大先知可以通过牺牲来阻止任何灾难。第七种大先知没有任何特殊能力，但是仍然可以执行大先知的所有常规功能。
Rhye's and Fall of Civilization
Every once in a while we hear gamers wish for a version of Civ that adhered more closely to the historical timeline with regard to a civilization's appearance on the world stage. Rhye's and Fall of Civilization offers just such an experience. Designed to allow players to choose from two starting dates, 3000BC or 600AD, the game lets players pick whatever empire they want to lead and then drops them into the story at the right place and time. Pick Rome or Mongolia for instance, and you could find yourself late out of the gate while all the other civs have been building up their empires.
Since the empires are meant to represent their historical a bit more accurately, the bonuses and units have been tweaked a bit. Rome, for instance, enjoys double movement on roads within its empire's borders. Arabia gets a bonus to spread the Islamic religion in cities that it conquered. English fleets gain additional first strike chances.
There are also a large number of unique victory conditions for each civilization. Egypt can win by achieving a certain culture score by a certain date, or by building several ancient wonders. The Maya can win if they discover the Calendar by 600AD or if they manage not to lose a single city until the Industrial Age. England can win by getting three cities on each continent, being the first to circumnavigate the globe, or being the first civilization to enter the Industrial and Modern eras. With so many different victory conditions to go for, you'll really have to design a focused but flexible strategy.
文明的兴衰
每隔一段时间我就会听到游戏者们说他们希望有个新的文明版本，可以更加紧密的结合历史，并且这些文明根据真实的历史时间轴出现在世界的舞台上。文明的兴衰就是这样的一个游戏。设计者允许玩家开始于两个时间，3000BC和600AD，这个剧情允许玩家选择任何一个一个文明，并且让他们出现在正确的时间和正确的位置，选择罗马或者蒙古为例，你可以发现你在这个游戏的后面才出现，其他的国家已经建立了他们的帝国。
考虑到这些国家意味着更加准确的表现他们的历史，文明的奖励和单位做了一些小的改变。比如，罗马在他们国界内的道路上获得双倍移动能力；阿拉伯在他攻下的所有城市里自动散播伊斯兰教；英国舰队有额外的一次先攻。
每个国家的胜利方式是独特的，比如埃及，可以通过在一定时间之前积累一定的文化点数，或是建造某些古代奇观来获胜；玛雅可以通过600AD之前发现日历，或者是工业时代之前不损失一座城市来获得胜利；英国的胜利方式包括在每个大陆上修建3座城市，第一个环游地球，或是第一个进入工业时代和现代。考虑到如此之多的胜利方式，你可以有很高的自由度来决定你的策略。
WWII Road to War
Well, it wouldn't be an expansion without a World War II scenario, would it? This time around we're getting three versions: one each for the Pacific and Europe starting in 1936 and one just for Europe beginning a little hotter in 1939. Players can opt to play as the big boys in the conflict or try for a more limited involvement with a minor power like Siam, Norway, the Balkans or the Dutch East Indies. (All the civs make the Foreign Advisor screen a little crowded, but you 32-player types should have no problem with it.)
The iconic units are all here, from the Zero fighters to the Panzer IVs to the B-29 bombers. Unfortunately, all the sea units are a bit generic so we won't see Fletcher class destroyers, Hipper cruisers or Soryu carriers. Interestingly, you will need specific factories to produce specific types of units so you'll need to plan your infrastructure carefully.
What's even cooler is that you can actually order air strikes specifically against these production buildings. It works just like a regular air mission, except that you choose to target either non-military or military buildings. You can even target improvements around the enemy cities. The new artillery units in the scenario can also target improvements or units outside of the cities. The two European scenarios also include Bitter Winter events that simulate the hard winters of the Eastern Front. When the ground freezes over, movement and healing for all forces will be cut down drastically and the combat will shift the advantage even more towards the side of the defender. The World War scenarios are easily the biggest new scenarios in the game and are better suited to players who are willing to dig in and stick with it for a while.
二战：战争之路
恩，没有哪个资料片是没有二战剧情的，不是么？
这次我们有了3个版本：欧洲和太平洋各一个开始于1936以及一个开始于1939的更加火热的欧洲。玩家可以选择游戏中的巨人或是比较弱小的国家进行有限的牵涉，比如泰国、挪威、巴尔干地区和荷属东印度（所有的国家将使你的外交顾问界面变得有点拥挤，but you 32-player types should have no problem with it不明白 ）
所有代表性的单位都在这里，从零式战斗机到豹四坦克，再到B-29轰炸机。不过不幸的是，所有的海军单位看起来有点同质化，所以我们不会看见Fletcher级驱除舰，Hipper级巡洋舰或者Soryu级航母。有意思的是，特别的单位需要特别的工厂来建造，所以你需要仔细的规划你的基础建设。
更酷的是你现在可以命令你的飞机攻击这些特别的建筑了。它工作起来就像普通的空军命令，除了你可以指定准确目标——包括军事的和非军事的建筑。你也可以将目标对准城外的设施，新的炮兵单位将使你可以轰炸地面设施或单位了。
两个欧洲战场的剧情还包括了事件 严酷的冬天，它模仿了东线上严酷的冬天。当大地结冰的时候，移动力和恢复速度将会严重下降，战斗将会更加有利于防守一方。
二战剧情很显然是最大的一个新剧情，并且更适合于那些喜欢深入研究和坚持下去的玩家。
