[[CK2/マニュアル]] *Getting Started - 始めよう - [#t694a87f] #contents *Getting Started - 始めよう - [#t694a87f] **Overview - 概要 -[#n44cc8de] In this section, we are going to walk through the steps you need to take to configure your settings. Once we’ve done that, we will start a game of Crusader Kings II. このセクションでは、ゲームの設定項目についてひととおり解説します。 設定が完了すれば、Crusader Kings II のゲームを開始できます。 **Launching the Game - ゲームの実行 -[#y38b734f] When you click the Crusader Kings II icon, a pre-launch screen may appear, depending on how you purchased the game. From here, you can download and install any patches and updates, choose to run any installed mods, and even connect directly to the Paradox Forums for Crusader Kings II. Some online retailers will automatically patch the game for you, while others will not. Of course, you can also launch the game from here. Let’s do that now. Crusader Kings II のアイコンをクリックすると、ゲームの購入方法によって 異なる実行前ウィンドウが表示されます。この画面からパッチやアップデートの ダウンロードやインストール、実行するインストール済みの mod の選択、 および Paradox の Crusader Kings II のフォーラムに接続することができます。 いくつかのオンライン販売業者は自動的にゲームのパッチを適用してくれますが、 他の販売業者では自動的にアップデートをしません。 上記以外にできることとして、もちろんゲームの開始があります。それではゲームを 開始してみましょう。 **The Main Menu - メインメニュー -[#k16bef07] Once the game finishes loading, which can take a bit of time, you will be presented with the Main Menu. There are several things you can do from here. ゲームの読み込みにはしばらく時間がかかりますが、それが終了すると メインメニューが表示されます。ここではさまざまなことができます。 You can start or load a saved Single-Player game, begin or host a Multiplayer game, or you can run the Tutorials, which will walk you through the basics of gameplay. Here, you can also make changes to the game settings through the Options button. There are also links to Paradox’s forums, Facebook page, and Twitter feed. Credits will show you everyone who made this game possible. Exit returns you to your desktop. Now, you might be tempted to just jump right into the game without giving a thought to the Options button, but that is a much more important button than you think. You really should give it a quick peek. Go on…click it. You know you want to. **The Options Button - オプションボタン -[#l2bf284f] How you know why you should stop here first. Here, you can change all the default settings and customize the look and sound of your game. In the Game tab, you can change the difficulty level, set the autosave feature, and disable or enable the Wikipedia links within the game. The Video function allows you to customize screen resolution, refresh rate, multisample, and gamma. You can also decide whether or not you would like trees in the game. This checkbox is not just for hippies and loggers: the trees enhance the visual appeal of the game, but a computer near the minimum game specs can see a solid performance boost by disabling them. From the Audio tab, you can set the master sound volume and the volume of the music and sound effects. Finally, the Control tab allows you to adjust the speed of map scrolling and the rate of zoom. Once you have made the changes you want, click Apply to save them, and you are ready to go. Okay, you’ve been patient; we can get into the game now. Go back to the Main Menu screen. Click on the Single Player button and get this game started. **Starting A Single-Player Game - シングルゲームを始める -[#a8ff0904] Once you click on Single Player, you will see the following interface. Here, you will choose the dynasty and the start date for your game. While you can set the game to begin at any date between September 15, 1066, and January 1, 1337, several particularly interesting dates have been bookmarked for you: Stamford Bridge opens on September 15, 1066. Harald Hadraada and William the Bastard are both challenging King Harold for the English Crown. William the Conqueror starts on December 26, 1066, after William has won the English Crown and the sobriquet ‘the Conqueror.’ The Third Crusade places you in the heart of Angevin Europe as the Third Crusade prepares to depart for the Holy Land and face off against the great Saladin. Finally, you can choose The Hundred Years War, which starts at the beginning of the English and French kings’ struggle for the crown of France. Once you have picked your date, you can scroll through the map, using your mouse wheel to zoom in or out, and select the dynasty you wish to control by clicking the map. To aid you in making your choice, there are several different map views you can click through to help you find the dynasty you want to control. These map views, clickable under the date selection, are: • terrain map – The default map, which shows the terrain of the game world. The borders of the realms are visible. • independent realms – This map shows the territories of any powers, be they Duke, Count, or King, who do not answer to anyone else on the feudal food chain. • counts – This map highlights the lands ruled directly by a Count. • dukes – This map highlights the lands under the control of a Duke. • kings – This map highlights the lands under the direct control of a King. • emperors – This map highlights the lands of the two Emperors: Byzantine and Holy Roman. The game also makes suggestions of particularly interesting characters who might be worth playing, which are displayed to the left. Once you click on a province, county, duchy, or kingdom, the current ruler and any current vassals will appear for your perusal. When you are happy with your dynasty and your start date, click Play and get going! This is also the screen you will use to launch a previously saved game. Just click on the Saved Games button next to the bookmarked Historical Dates and your list of previously saved games will appear. **Starting A Multiplayer Game - マルチプレイヤーゲームを始める -[#xa9db4fc] Once you have mastered the Single-Player campaign, you may seek a greater challenge. Then you will turn to this button, and you will learn: what is best in Crusader Kings II? To crush your online enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women. And this is the place to do it! From this interface, you can host or join a game, whether over Internet or LAN. You can also join games on the Metaserver from here. A great place to find others who want to play multiplayer Crusader Kings II is on the Paradox Forums at forum. paradoxplaza.com. Go to the board for Crusader Kings II, and you are sure to find others eager to try out their skills against a crafty human opponent. It is very important to remember that you must be playing the same version of the game as the other player, so consider what mods and what patches you have installed. The quickest way to verify this is to pay attention to the “checksum,” that four-letter code following the version number at the bottom-left of the main screen. In this case, the checksum is LIEG. If your opponent’s checksum is also LIEG, then you are ready to play. TIME:"2012-03-03 (土) 14:53:39"
