Submission
Each officer will make their own decisions concerning domain development, but they will come to you with suggestions at times.
If you consent to a submission, that task will be carried out. Make sure to approve submissions appropriate for your current circumstances.
Advance
Make time move forward. Officers will perform tasks, and marching units will move across the map.
Clan Expansion
Challenge other clans once the appropriate preparations have been made.
*If you have spare resources, consider making castles into defensive or resupply bases.
March
March your units toward an enemy castle.
When a unit arrives at an enemy county, it will begin occupying the county. Once the occupation gauge reaches 0, the county will become yours.
Making contact with an enemy unit will initiate combat. A unit is defeated when its soldier count reaches 0.
Castle Assault and Siege
Making contact with an enemy castle will start a castle assault. The enemy castle will become yours when its HP gauge reaches 0.
A Siege is required to gain victory over enemy defensive bases or main bases displaying a shield icon.
*Issuing the System Reform II policy will cause shield icons to appear.
Battle
You can commence a Battle when the daimyō's unit makes contact with an enemy unit. Other units in the surrounding area will then gather to participate in this large-scale conflict.
On the battle screen, you give orders to each of your units in real time as you try to defeat the enemy units.
Winning a battle triggers Authority, which changes the diplomatic stances of surrounding clans and may even cause counties and castles in the vicinity to change allegiances.
