Greetings, mighty Lords!
As the solar term Frost's Descent comes, Beginning of Winter is on the way. All plants are ripe and return to the earth. It was believed in ancient China that this was when yang energy descended into the ground and yin energy began to condense, causing temperatures to drop. Please take care of yourselves to prevent dryness, cold and depression, my Lords. In the Preview of the Battle at Red Cliffs Season (Part II), we have walked you through naval battles at Red Cliffs. In this article, we will take a peek at the abilities of each Faction, Fire Attack Tactics, and Season Tally in the Battle at Red Cliffs season.
Vie For Territory
"The lord marched into Jiangling, and ordered the officials and people of Jingzhou to implement a new policy."
—Book of Wei - Annals of Emperor Wu
In this season, once a Faction occupies all the cities in a Commandery, that Commandery is considered to be within the Faction's force range. Each Faction's force range will impact the effectiveness of the Faction's abilities. Each Faction has its own Faction abilities as listed below:

Deal Additional Damage with Fire Attack Tactic
Fire Attack Tactic will automatically unlock when you have enough Fame this season. Once it has unlocked, select a land tile to apply it. A troop will then be dispatched to attack the land tile. If it is a victory, Fire Attack Tactic takes effect, dealing Strength damage to up to 5 troops on the land tile, as well as Durability damage to the land tile.
In addition, when the wind scale is greater than 3 on the land tile and it is not rainy, snowy, or flooding, the Fire Attack effect will spread up to 3 land tiles in the direction of the wind, and will likewise deal damage to 5 troops on the land tile and the Durability of the land tile. Special land tiles such as Loam and Harbors will not trigger spreading.
Season Tally and Rewards
The Season Tally will be finalized based on the ownership of Luoyang and Red Cliffs, as well as the Faction Occupation Value Rankings of Cao Cao, Sun Quan, Liu Bei, Liu Zhang, and Ma Teng. The capture of Luoyang is key to victory for Cao Cao's Faction. Depending on whether he wins or loses, different tally methods will apply to other Factions as detailed below:

In the thirteenth year of Jian'an, the flames of war rose in Jingxiang and a grand battle broke out at Red Cliffs. Heroes fought to either pursue fame, extend kindness, or advance their cause in a world divided. They had different aspirations and made different choices. Now, as you return to Red Cliffs, what will you do to emerge victorious and unite the world? The beacon fire is to be lit. Vie for the world, whose destiny lies in your hands, my Lords.
That concludes our introduction to the latest features of Battle at Red Cliffs. For more details, please refer to the Battle at Red Cliffs Season Intro in the Preparation Area after the subsequent routine maintenance. Thank you for your unwavering support of INFINITE BORDERS!
There is no other land than the king's land; within INFINITE BORDERS, all are subjects of the king.
