Battles
Supply Lines & Area of Inuence
Base
The paths that link bases together are known as supply lines
and the area around supply lines linking allied bases to the
allied main camp are known as your area of influence.
Within the area of influence, the abilities of your allies
are increased and it is easier to capture enemy officers.
Conversely, when you are in the enemy's area of influence,
the enemy's abilities in battle are increased and it is easier
for allied officers to get captured.
Also, when starting the battle, the more troops you have,
the more areas of influence and allied bases you will have.
When the enemy captures one of your bases and cuts off
the supply line between it and your allied main camp, the
supply line has been severed. When bases have been cut
off, they become isolated and lose strength.
*Bases connected by a supply line to a supply depot will not become
isolated.
When a base's Durability reaches 0, it will be captured.
Defeat enemies within the base to reduce its Durability.
When you capture a base, you wil receive additional allied troops and your forces' morale will increase.
Additionally, recovery items wil appear in the center of the base (only when your forces occupy the base).
It is important to aggressively target enemy bases in order to gain the advantage in battle.
There are 8 types of bases, and the higher their level, the higher their Durability and the level at which they
function.
Some Stratagems

can change a base's type or increase its level.

Viewing the area of influence
*For areas where the enemy army's influence is strong, the
map will be displayed in red.
Troop Strength & Rejoining the Battle
If your officer is defeated, then you will temporarily
withdraw from the battle. However, if you have troops
remaining, then you will be able to return to the battle after
a short period of time. Each time you rejoin the battle, you
will use up one troop strength marker.
If you defeat an officer with no troops remaining, then they
will flee from the battle. Additionally, if you defeat them
within an area where your influence is exceptionally strong
P.22
, then it will be easier to capture officers with troops
remaining or get them to flee. if you are defeated within an
area where the enemy's influence is strong, then you will
be defeated and lose the battle even if you have troops
remaining.
You can check the troop strength of each officer by going
to the Pause Menu (START button)
P.19
and checking the
"Battlefield Info" command.
A 1 troop strength marker is displayed for every 1,000
troops.
*Capturing of officers can only occur during Invasions and Defensive
Battles.
*In Mission Battles, a single defeat will cause you to lose the battle.
If you win an Invasion (or raise your own banner if you are
a Vagabond Leader), then you can increase the number
of territories under your control. If you capture a territory
where the Ruler of another kingdom resides, you will take
all of the other adjacent territories of that kingdom.
Additionally, you will need to decide how to deal with the
prisoners. By selecting the "Employ" command, you may
be able to hire them. By selecting the "Execute" command,
your Evil
P.14
Fame Rating will increase. Releasing the
officer will cause your Friendship rating
P.17
to increase.
Q

Ending the Battle
You can obtain resources as a reward for winning battles. Additionally, you will also receive Fame
Points based on your results.

Experience Points based on your performance in the
battle. If you have a "Battle" assignment, winning the
battle will give you even more Experience Points than
winning a normal battle.

receive Fame Points for that type.
