Here are new details on the games various warfare types:

Debates

An important part of the strategy process is Debates. These intense conversations present the ability to convince lords to act in certain ways, as well as to raise support, to benefit your cause.

Duels

Duels, on the other hand, replace words with weapons and are executed in a turn-based system. Carrying out a duel will present bonuses for players within the battle, useful to getting the upper-hand on your opponent. For further strategic advantage, Siege battles can even be initiated during an on-going battle. Creating a blockade around the enemy stronghold allows it to be taken over more effectively with your army.

Naval Battles

Naval battles have been further perfected in Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIII, allowing the navy to create strategic blockades or carry out skirmishes on vast rivers.

Narrow Pass Battles

On land, Narrow Pass battles involve holding a strategic pass or creating a line of defense of a narrow passage.

Open Field Battles

Open field battles are large scale fights where the player can dynamically control the course of battle. Organize your units to be placed in the best vantage point for an attack, allowing you to have the upper hand against your opponent. These different strategic options are further brought to life with a wide selection of beautiful battlegrounds, where players will find a greater hands-on view of the battle, allowing them to efficiently plan their battle tactics.
