Greetings, mighty Lords:
Since the launch of the Family System, Lords have formed Families, fighting bravely together across the Thirteen States. Families are playing an increasingly important role in this wonderful journey. The playful banter and leisure moments among the members alleviate battlefield stress. Patiently sharing gaming insights has improved the Lords' gaming skills. Moreover, Assistance for the Family has allowed many Lords to experience Heroes they haven't yet obtained, bringing Family members closer together.
And we are about to introduce the Family Manor function now, allowing eligible Families to establish a permanent Manor in the Preparation Area for free, which they can freely expand and decorate to better showcase the Family's splendor.
Construct Manor
The peasant family now lives in seclusion under Mount Ji, with the main door facing Yingchuan. They have no idea about the change of dynasties outside, from the Qin Dynasty, which was once prone to war, to the current Han Dynasty.

The Family Manor is a permanent building on the Preparation Area map, serving as a common base for family members and a haven waiting silently for them to return.
When the number of Family members with a Title ≥ Lv.2 reaches 20, the Family Chief can choose any commandery outside of Sili, Yongzhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou in the Preparation Area to create a Manor at a random location for free. The number of Manors that each commandery can accommodate is limited. If the commandery is already full, you will not be able to create a Manor.
The Family Chief can also rebuild the Manor, which need to consume 500 Jade to select a new commandery for reconstruction. The original Manor will automatically disappear, and it can only be rebuilt once every 180 days.
Manor Expansion
I was on duty at the library pavilion, with seven gates closed. The wide courtyard is so quiet when it's snowing. I hid in the back room and warmed myself happily in front of the stove.

As a common base for the Family, the Family Manor represents the will and style of the Family, and the Family Chief can freely expand it. A Family Manor occupies 5 land tiles by default, which can be expanded by consuming Jades to occupy adjacent land tiles, up to 25 tiles. The Family Manor can be expanded to include mountains or rivers, with different landscapes for different terrains.
Whether it's a sweet little cottage, a vast and elegant garden, or an oddly-shaped work of art, everything is under the Family Chief's control. And Family members can also contribute to the Family by donating Jades for Expansion Attempts.
Manor Decor
The path in front of the door is suitable for green grass to grow, with flowers blooming in the spacious yard. I have adored poetry and wine all my life, so it is natural for immortals to come and meet me.
—Four Poems for Li Shisi II [Tang Dynasty] Wang Bo
In addition to changing the Manor's land coverage and outline through expansion, the Manor can also be decorated with appearance buildings. The Manor has its own exclusive appearance buildings, and some city appearance buildings can also be used in the Manor. If the Manor occupies mountains or rivers, appearance buildings that can be built on the corresponding terrain can also be used.
The Family Chief can edit the Manor's appearance, and all family members can donate newly purchased or their own appearance buildings to contribute to the construction of their home.
Manor Maintenance
If all Family members have not logged in for more than 7 days, or if the number of Family members with a Title ≥ Lv.2 does not reaches 20 as required, the Family Manor will be temporarily removed from the Preparation Area map. When Family members log in again, or when the number of Family members meets the requirement again, the Family Chief can select a new location to create the Manor. The expansion and decorations that the Family once invested in constructing the Manor will be permanently retained.
Preparation Area
After creating a Manor, family members can view it in the Preparation Area in any season. You can also view other Families' Manors by going to the Preparation Area.
By viewing their own Family's Manor or other Families' Manors, Lords who have temporarily returned to the Preparation Area can add other Lords as friends or simply enjoy the scenery of different Manors. However, after temporarily returning to the Preparation Area, you can neither view information such as Preparation Area registration or chat channels, nor deploy troops or March, and it will not have any impact on the current season.
We'd like to express our sincere gratitude to every Family for their hard work and mettle in INFINITE BORDERS. May the Family Manors bring warmth to all Lords of various Families. The Manor System will go live in the Preparation Area after the routine maintenance on May 29, 2024. We wish all Lords an enjoyable gaming experience.
The actual content is subject to the final update in the game. 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!
