Greetings, mighty Lords!
Since its release, INFINITE BORDERS has launched numerous distinctive conquest seasons, crafting a rich and diverse world of strategic dominion. Since May 2022, following the removal of [S3], newcomers entering the Thirteen States will progress through [S1] and [S2] before entering the [Preparation Area] to participate in the upcoming Conquest Season. Hence, [S2] plays a significant role in aiding Lords on their journey from being newcomers in [S1] to becoming formidable warlords in the Conquest Season. It is an essential part of new Lords' growth.
At the same time, we've also noticed that newcomers face increased challenges during [S2] due to factors like Hero Levels and City Facilities being reset. The significantly tougher new Land Garrisons make it more challenging for newcomers to expand their power and prosper. Furthermore, in [S2], factors that were reset, such as Initial Hero Level, the Initial [Command] of the Main City, and Main Quest Petitions, differ significantly from those in the Conquest Season and therefore fail to effectively serve as guides for the growth of newcomers.
As such, we will make the following adjustments in [S2] regarding the Initial Force Status and Land Garrison Difficulty:
[New "Wind-up Strike" Policy]
In the Conquest Season, Lords will start with an Initial [Command] of 8, which grants them a greater selection of Heroes to choose from right at the beginning. In comparison, the Initial [Command] of 5.5 in [S2] significantly limits Lords' choices in terms of Initial Heroes. As a result, this update will introduce a new default initial policy called "Wind-up Strike":
"Wind-up Strike" Policy Effect: The Initial [Command] of troops of the Main City is increased to 7. Until reaching Castle Lv.5, leveling up the Castle won't increase the [Command] of troops. Subsequently, with each level-up of the Castle, the [Command] will be increased by 0.5.
[New Initial Building "Commander Hall"]
Considering the adjustment to the Initial [Command], Lords will also find a new initial building, Lv.1 Commander Hall after raising an army. This allows Lords to deploy up to three Heroes in their army formation right from the start.
[Initial Hero Level Increase]
In [S2], the Initial Hero Level will be increased from Lv.1 to Lv.5. Lords can now lead their armies from the start to try adjusting on higher-level lands.
[Initial Force Resource Increase]
Alongside the aforementioned changes,the Initial Resources and Stratagem EXP in [S2] will be increased correspondingly. This will assist Lords in expanding their forces more swiftly.

[Petition - Major Issues Adjustment]
To facilitate the adaptation of new Lords in [S2] to the changes brought about by the season reset, we have also made adjustments to the content of Chapter I to Chapter VII in Petition - Major Issues. We have streamlined and removed some of the intricate Major Issues, while also adjusting the sequence of certain Major Issues to facilitate a smoother progression for Lords. The adjusted Major Issues will align more closely with the Conquest Season, in hopes of a smoother transition.
[Land Garrison Difficulty Decrease]
In addition to the previously mentioned adjustments to the Initial Force Status, we will also lower the difficulty of Land Garrisons at Lv.3, 4 and 5 to provide Lords with a smoother gaming experience.
[Online Content Adjustments]
The introduction of the new policy, adjustments to initial buildings and Major Issues, and increases in the Initial Hero Level and Initial Resources willtake effect on servers in [S2] after the routine maintenanceonSeptember 20 (UTC+9).
The adjustment to Land Difficulty will be simultaneously applied to all unlocked and soon-to-open [S2] servers following the routine maintenance on September 20 (UTC+9).
All adjustments to [S2] have been detailed above. We hope that in the forthcoming [S2], whether you continue thriving in glory or rally for a fresh start, all of you will be better prepared to confront the challenges of the new battlefield!
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all Lords for your love and support towards 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!
