00:00Dynasties are here.
00:02This is about legacy.
00:04Your family identity, your ideals, your crest,
00:06all carried on long after you kicked the bucket.
00:11A dynasty might be a whole family of nobles,
00:14or mysterious icons, or wealthy entrepreneurs.
00:19But let's back up a bit
00:20and talk about how you can start a dynasty.
00:24As the founder and head of a dynasty,
00:27you get to make all the big decisions.
00:30Choosing the family crest,
00:33enforcing the family values,
00:35and even inviting your favorite family members
00:37from other households to join.
00:39There are two measures of a successful dynasty.
00:43Unity, meaning how well dynasty members get along,
00:46and prestige, which is earned by living by your values,
00:51or lost by going against them.
00:56Naming your heir ensures your dynasty will carry on.
00:59Though your cool auntie is probably too busy to accept.
01:03Maybe choose somebody who actually wants the position.
01:09There you go.
01:11Individual actions may only have a small impact on prestige,
01:14but every little bit helps.
01:16And prestige equals perks.
01:19Like getting a tutor,
01:20or faster promotions at work.
01:22Everyone say nepo baby!
01:26Or even making alliances easier,
01:29since prestige receives a boost
01:30from forging connections with other dynasties too.
01:34Even when you find yourself facing off against a rival dynasty,
01:37there's an opportunity to come out ahead.
01:39Ooh, nice one!
01:45But, there's also a risk to your personal rank if you hurt prestige.
01:49And if it drops low enough,
01:51someone could challenge you for leadership.
01:55But hey, if you're not happy being part of a certain dynasty,
01:59you can go start a new one.
02:02Just make sure you choose family members who will help you gain prestige,
02:08instead of lose it.
02:10Uh oh!
02:11That secret affair better not come to light.
02:14It's important to ensure no one discovers your dirty laundry,
02:18because with devious conspirators about,
02:21every one of your family's indiscretions is a potential scandal
02:26waiting to break.
02:33Take advantage of the situation,
02:35by leveraging your new knowledge.
02:37Use it to form a trusted bond,
02:39as a close, loyal confidant.
02:43Or extort them for power, or simoleons.
02:46Muchever.
02:47Oof, that will hurt prestige quite a bit.
02:51You can try and do damage control
02:53by declaring the troublesome dynasty member the outcast.
02:55But the effects of a scandal may last a while.
02:59Maybe it would have been better to stay in your original dynasty?
03:02But the choice is yours.
03:05Just sim it and see.
03:10Now you just have to decide if you want the crown.
03:14Ooh, shiny.
03:16Drop it with a German worry.
03:17Until now.
03:25What's a什么 thing about a New Haven
03:26Overre fence.
03:26All right.
