During Battles
Once a battle starts, officers will independently decide how to proceed, but the daimyō may also give them direct orders.
Points are placed throughout the battlefield, and units will move between them. More damage can be dealt by surrounding an enemy unit in a pincer.

Soldier Count and Stamina Gauge
When a unit's soldier count reaches 0, the unit will be destroyed. The officers of a destroyed unit may be captured or die in battle.High defense makes it harder for soldier count to be reduced.
Stamina is consumed as the unit performs activities, and abilities will decrease as stamina falls. Stamina will recover while a unit isn't acting. High defense makes it harder for stamina to be reduced.
