Greetings, mighty Lords!
In 223 AD, the commanderies of Nanzhong rose up under Meng Huo. Zhuge Liang led his army south, and a clash centered on "capture and release," blending "courage and strength with strategy," was about to unfold in the miasma-shrouded, treacherous lands of Nanzhong. Today, we'll bring you a preview of the brand-new Conquest Season, "Battle of Nanzhong."
[Seven Captures of Meng Huo, Dynamic Battlefield]
In past campaigns, seizing cities and unifying the Central Plain were the Conquest objectives for most seasons. In "Battle of Nanzhong," however, the battlefield will focus on a partial map in southern Yizhou. Meng Huo's armies are entrenched in the central contested area, and Lords will join either the Shu Han or the Nanzhong Faction to engage in fast-paced, dynamic struggles over whether to "capture" Meng Huo or "reinforce" him.
To give Lords clearer strategic targets and a more immersive dynamic battlefield, this season introduces the concept of "Periodic Migration." As World Milestones progress, Meng Huo will migrate between three resource commanderies multiple times to regroup. Each migration will clear the ownership of all territories and buildings within his current county. This will provide both Factions with a fairer frontline environment and more opportunities for Conquest. The Faction that occupies Meng Huo's City before each migration will claim a phase victory. A single battle is not enough to determine conquest—the true hero is revealed through seven captures and seven releases! Whether you stand with Zhuge Liang, wielding feather fan and silk scarf to pacify the south with brilliant schemes, or with the tribes of Nanzhong, commanding beasts to overpower foes and using perilous terrain to counterattack, the outcome of every clash will be written by the blades of the Lords.
[Strategic Terrain of the Southern Frontier, Commanding Troops in the Miasma Lands]
The lands of Nanzhong are crisscrossed with rivers and filled with treacherous terrain. Here, it is not only enemy blades and spears that await, but also the deadly threats of nature itself. On this brand-new battlefield, the first challenge Lords must face is the ever-present "miasma." Lands shrouded in miasma will have their information hidden. Only those brave enough to "dispel the obstacles and press forward" can part the clouds, see the light, and gain a clear understanding of the battlefield.
In addition, the three resource commanderies in the contested area are home to three distinct types of special terrain: the "Rattan Forest,," where vitality and decay coexist, offering the convenience of gathering materials on-site while hiding the danger of fragile Defense; the perilous "Snake Valley," where Troops can weave through like serpents for surprise attacks, but at the cost of being frightened and suffering a brief damage reduction; and the treacherous "Poisoned Spring," where toxins pose a corrosive risk, but those who hold the area gain a wider Garrison range.
In this season, terrain is no longer just a set of cold border lines on the map, but a "third-party Force" that every Lord must respect and learn to use. By leveraging geographic advantage to shape unity among your ranks, and combining it with the cyclical migrations of the "Seven Captures of Meng Huo," what kinds of tactical sparks will fly?
[Seven-Star Plans: Shaping the Winds of War]
If charging into battle, launching assaults, and using perilous terrain to overpower enemies are the "courage and strength" of generals and soldiers, then adapting to the moment and making clever use of master plans is the "wisdom" of a commander. The flames of war in Nanzhong shift unpredictably, and a single decision from a Lord can become the decisive move that turns the tide of battle.
The Season-exclusive "Seven-Star Plans" gameplay will bring Lords a completely different personal growth and Strategy experience. As the battle in Nanzhong unfolds layer by layer, Lords will face seven crucial choices of fate: each Plan you unlock will provide a unique strategic direction in areas such as resource management, combat buffs, and terrain counters. This is no simple matter of resource acquisition, but a strategy contest filled with unknowns. Among hundreds or even thousands of possibilities, how will you combine Plans into the perfect scheme for your own Troops? Will you focus on breaking enemy formations and slaying foes, or make full use of geographic advantage? Every choice a Lord makes may become the finishing touch on this grand chessboard of Nanzhong.
INFINITE BORDERS has always been committed to providing Lords with richer strategy and management experiences in ancient warfare. "Seven captures transform the battlefield; Master Plans decide the fate of all." On this southern frontier, fraught with danger yet full of opportunity, where will the final path to world unification lead? All these mysteries await the Lords who will uncover them.
