Greetings, mighty Lords!
In the previous season preview for "Battle of Nanzhong", we introduced the rules for the two Factions and periodic tally in detail, as well as the miasma and special terrain mechanics. Today, we will continue by introducing the specific effects of this season's Seven-Star Plans and Hero Features, along with exclusive themed event rewards.
[Seven-Star Plan]
"Countless strategies ensure victory, and the Seven-Star Plans decide the fate of the realm."
On the ever-changing battlefield of Nanzhong, the Lords' wisdom as commanders can shine just as brightly. As the World Milestone "Seven Captures of Meng Huo" progresses, a total of 7 Seven-Star Plan slots will be unlocked one by one. Each time a slot is unlocked, the system will offer 3 random Master Plans, and you may choose one to take effect. Master Plan Cards are divided into Heaven, Earth, and People Cards, with nearly one hundred effects in total, helping Lords break through deadlocks and deploy tactics:
|
Master Plan Type |
Master Plan Effect |
|
Master Plan - Heaven |
Enhances Domestic Affairs management capabilities, such as construction, resources, taxation, draft, and administration, providing a steady stream of logistical support for intense battles on the front lines |
|
Master Plan - Earth |
Improves troops' adaptability to miasma disasters and to the three terrain types: Rattan Forest, Snake Valley, and Poisoned Spring. These are key tools for moving through treacherous terrain and turning natural barriers to your advantage |
|
Master Plan - People |
Specifically enhances the combat capabilities of Infantry, Archer, and Cavalry, or grants tactical buffs for siege warfare or field battles. Use schemes to make up for weaknesses in your lineup and allow your generals and soldiers to unleash combat power beyond their limits |
If the refreshed Master Plans are not what you need, you may also consume Master Plan items or a small number of Jades to refresh the Master Plan effects. Master Plan items can be obtained by occupying miasma land tiles each day, as well as by completing World Milestone "Seven Captures of Meng Huo."
Faced with an ocean of schemes and tactics, how should one choose and combine them? Will you rely on strength to overpower cleverness, or adapt to the situation and turn natural dangers to your own use? These seven choices that test your strategic wisdom will ultimately come together to form a unique combat style of your own.
[Hero Feature]
"Famed generals muster troops and ignite the flames of war, and features reshape the battlefield."
As the fires of war ignite in the southern frontier, famous generals from history will also be reborn here. To better fit the season's theme and bring new vitality to lineup-building, this season will grant powerful exclusive features to multiple core Heroes from both factions:

Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition Memorial is a masterpiece for the ages. Who across a thousand years could stand as his equal?
Zhuge Liang, courtesy name Kongming, was from Yangdu in Langya. During the Late Han Dynasty, he took refuge from the chaos at Longzhong, where he farmed and studied, comparing himself to Guan Zhong and Yue Yi and earning the nickname "Crouching Dragon." In the twelfth year of Jian'an under Emperor Xian of Han, Liu Bei was stationed at Xinye and visited him three times at his thatched cottage. Zhuge Liang proposed a strategy of occupying Jingzhou and Yizhou, making peace with the Rong peoples in the west, pacifying the Yi and Yue peoples in the south, forming good relations with Sun Quan, and jointly resisting Cao Cao. He then emerged to become Liu Bei's chief strategist. The following year, when Cao Cao campaigned south for Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang was sent as an envoy to Eastern Wu. Sun and Liu allied against Cao and won the Battle of Red Cliffs, after which Liu Bei took control of Jingzhou. In the nineteenth year of Jian'an, Zhuge Liang entered Shu to reinforce Liu Bei, helped pacify Chengdu, was appointed General of the Military Advisor, and guarded Chengdu. When Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor, Zhuge Liang was appointed Imperial Chancellor and Manager of the Affairs of the Masters of Writing. After Zhang Fei's death, he also held the post of Inspector Colonel. In the third year of Zhangwu, he received Liu Bei's final edict and assisted Liu Shan. He was enfeoffed as Marquis of Wuxiang and Governor of Yizhou. No matter how large or small, Zhuge Liang decided all affairs of state. He maintained relations with Sun Quan in the east, pacified the commanderies in the south, and campaigned north for the Central Plains, repeatedly sending troops to attack Wei. He faced off against the Wei general Sima Yi south of the Wei River and died of illness in the army at Wuzhangyuan. He was posthumously titled Zhongwu. He is said to have designed the Wooden Ox for transport in mountainous regions and to have improved the crossbow so it could fire ten bolts at once.
"Turn the tide with seven captures, Master Plans decide the war." The winds of Nanzhong are rising, and every terrain element has become a chess piece. This ancient game of "Seven Captures, Seven Releases" now awaits your move, my Lord. We will see you in the Battle of Nanzhong!
That concludes the latest details for the <Battle of Nanzhong> season. Registration for this season will open on July 8 in the Classic Server Preparation Area. Thank you for your continued support of <INFINITE BORDERS>!
There is no other land than the king's land; within INFINITE BORDERS, all are subjects of the king.
