INFINITE BORDERS 10th Anniversary: Map Pass Truce Mechanism Adjustments & War Preparation Contribution Preview

2025/10/22

Greetings, mighty Lords!

As the saying goes, "When battlements rise like clouds, even birds cannot fly over." In INFINITE BORDERS, outstanding talents hold strategic passes to block thousands, while vassals break through perilous barriers to seize Luoyang. Passes on the map have always played a vital strategic role. However, we've observed that as Lords gain more combat EXP, seizing passes early increasingly impacts season outcomes, influencing strategic choices and disrupting the season's pace in the final stages.

To diversify strategic options and restore a normal pace for the season, we will implement a series of adjustments to the Truce mechanism for passes.

 

 

 

    [One Man Defense, Overwhelming Might]

"Jian'ge stands towering and precipitous—one man holds the pass against ten thousand."

— "The Road to Shu is Hard"

 

Passes connecting the Army-raising states to Yongzhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou, as well as all passes to Sili, will begin the season under a Truce. During the Truce, these passes cannot be marched upon or occupied.

 

 

Unlocking these passes requires accumulating Contribution progress through the "War Preparation Contribution" feature activated by World Milestones.

 

    [Drill for Battle, Plan Before Action]

The art of war demands a thousand chariots, a thousand armored vehicles, a hundred thousand armed soldiers, and provisions delivered across miles.

— "Sun Tzu's Art of War - Fight"

 

In the brand new "War Preparation Contribution" feature, all Forces in the server must collaborate by donating Food or occupying Land to accumulate progress, working together to unlock the passes.

Each Force can donate Food daily to boost the server's Contribution, receiving Coins equal to the donated amount in return. Additionally, land occupation and land development by any Lord will convert to Contribution at a certain ratio.

Upon reaching the Contribution goal, the Truce of the corresponding pass will end at 12:00 the following day.

 

 

 

    [World Trends, Inevitable Momentum]

The "War Preparation Contribution" feature unlocks with World Milestones. For example, these are the key stages of War Preparation Contribution in the <Clash of Chariots> season.

INFINITE BORDERS has always been committed to providing Lords with a richer sand table combat and strategic experience. Through the above adjustments, we hope more Alliances can participate in battles to enter the Resource States/Sili during the season, allowing for greater strategic possibilities on the battlefield.

The above adjustments to the map pass Truce mechanics and the War Preparation Contribution gameplay will be implemented in the <Clash of Chariots> and <All Trades' Contention> seasons after the routine maintenance on October 29, 2025. Thank you, Lords, for your continued love and support of INFINITE BORDERS!

 

There is no other land than the king's land; within the INFINITE BORDERS, all are subjects of the king.

A ruler of all families lives up to the times!

(The gameplay is subject to change.)
